HUMOROUS 
Bacon : “I understand some of your 
hens have stopped laying?” Egbert: 
“Two of them have.” “What’s the 
cause?” “Automobile.” — Yonkers 
Statesman. 
“What do you learn, Joe,” the Sun¬ 
day school teacher said, “from the 
Samson story?” “It don’t never pay,” 
piped Joe, “to have a woman cut a 
feller’s hair.”—Harper’s Weekly. 
The Lady: “Look here, you said that 
if I’d give you your dinner you’d mow. 
the lawn for me.” The Hobo: “I’d like 
to, ma’am, but I gotter teach yer a les¬ 
son. Never trust th’ word of a total 
stranger.”—Cleveland Leader. 
Mistress (making an unexpected raid 
on the kitchen : “Who is this, Mary?” 
Mary: “M—me b—rother, please ’m.” 
Mistress: “Indeed! But he doesn’t re¬ 
semble you in the least.” Mary : “No’m ! 
But we was remarkable alike before ’e 
’ad ’is beard shaved off.”—The Sketch. 
Benevolent Old Gent: “Don’t you 
know, my boy, that you, an American 
lad, have a chance to be President when 
you grow up?” Willie (gloomily) : 
“Naw, I ain’t got no chance. I sold my 
chance to Johnny Billings for a box of 
marbles.”—Harper’s Bazar. 
“Father,” said little Rollo, “what is 
an optimist?” “According to my ob¬ 
servation, son, an optimist is a man 
who finds his own affairs prosperous 
and tries to persuade other people not 
to make a kick and disturb conditions.” 
—Washington Star. 
“Looky yere, mammy,” said Picka¬ 
ninny Jim, “at de knot holes in dis 
here piece of wood. What does you 
’speck dem is fur?” “Why, honey,” 
answered Aunt Elvira Ann, “dem’s de 
button holes what de branches is fas¬ 
tened 'on to de 'trees.”—Washing on 
Star. 
“Does your mother allow you to have 
two pieces of pie when you are at home, 
Willie?” asked his hostess. “No, 
ma’am.” “Well, do j r ou think she would 
like you to have two pieces here?” “Oh, 
she wouldn’t care,” said Willie, confi¬ 
dentially; “this isn’t her pie.”—The Ex¬ 
aminer. 
“I ain’t seen de boss man fer de long¬ 
est. Whar you reckon he gone ter?” 
“I thought you knowed whar he gone. 
He went roun’ de country talkin’ an’ 
talkin’ ever’ day an’ Sunday, an’ de 
fust thing he knowed, dey give him fifty 
days in de legislatur’, an’ he won’t be 
back ’twel he sarves his time out.”— 
Atlanta Constitution. 
Mr. Rawson’s mule had strayed 
away, and Pomp had been sent to 
find it. Instead of running along the 
road in the direction in which the mule 
had been last seen, Pomp scrambled 
up Prospect Hill as far as he could go, 
and surveyed the countryside. When 
he returned in triumph with the mule 
an hour later, Mr. Rawson inquired 
why he had wasted time climbing the 
hill. “.’Twan’t no waste o’ time,” 
said Pomp, indignantly. “Don’t you 
know, Mr. Rawson, sab, dat a mewel 
is one ob dose animals you is got t’ 
’proacli from de front end foil yo’ 
own safety? An’ how could I ’proach 
dat mewel from de front end till I 
knowed whar he was?”—Youth’s Com¬ 
panion.
