HUMOROUS 
Ilow clear to my heart is the old-fashioned 
bonnet, 
The old-fashioned bonnet that Nell used 
to wear. 
Without any plums and red cherries stuck 
on it — 
The bonnet that didn’t want false curly 
hair! 
The dishpan effect may be stylish and 
stunning. 
The waste paper basket that’s lately 
come in 
May be quite the rage and recherche and 
cunning. 
But give me the hat she tied under her 
chin. 
—London Opinion. 
She: How did he make his money? 
I always heard he was a wild youth. 
He: Oh, he harvested his wild oats and 
made a new breakfast food.—Yale Rec¬ 
ord. 
Uncle Ellery: Now I’ll learn ye to 
milk the cow. Nephew from the City: 
Oh, unkie, I’m kind er ’fraid o’ the 
cow; couldn’t I just as well learn on 
the calf?—Life. 
The Judge: You say that because of 
injuries inflicted by your wife you have 
been unable to pursue your vocation! 
What is your business, sir? “Your 
honor, I’m a lion-tamer.”—Life. 
The Doctor: Young man. it will not 
do for you to stick in an office. You 
must get out of doors—must have air. 
By the way, what is your occupation? 
Patient: I am an aeronaut.—Scraps. 
“For my part I don’t see any more 
harm in a game of. cards than in a 
game of chess.” “But consider the as¬ 
sociations.” “What associations?” “Why, 
at chess you play with two bishops, 
while at cards you play with four 
knaves.”—Tit-Bits. 
The country parson was condoling 
with the bereft widow. "Alas!” he con¬ 
tinued, earnestly, “I cannot tell you 
how* pained I was to learn your hus¬ 
band had gone to heaven. We were 
bosom friends, but we shall never meet 
again.”—Credit Lost. 
“I thought/’ growls the discontented 
constituent, who is also the ultimate 
consumer, “that you fellows down in 
Washington were going to reform the 
tariff.” “We did,” explains the states¬ 
man. “We did: But every time we got 
it reformed the blamed thing backslid.”- 
—Life. 
The hard-looking customer had been 
arrested for stealing an umbrella. 
“What have you to say for yourself?” 
asked the magistrate. “Are you guilty 
or not guilty?” “I’m guilty, y’r wor¬ 
ship,” answered the prisoner. “The um¬ 
brella had the name of J. Jones on the 
handle, S. Brown stamped on the in¬ 
side o’ the cover, an’ I stole it from a 
man named Robinson.”—Ally Sloper’s
