HUMOROUS 
I saw a mad dog yesterday— 
How’d I know he was mad? 
Another dog came by that way 
And stole the bone he had. 
—Birmingham Age-IIerald. 
The Teacher (reading) : “ ‘Then the 
girl warrior faced the mocking foe and 
unsheathed her deadly weapon.' What 
does that mean, children. Well,-Elvira?’ 
Elvira: “Please, ma’am, I think it 
means she stuck out her tongue.”— 
Cleveland Plain Dealer. 
Old Lady (to druggist) : “I want a 
box of canine pills.” Druggist: “What’s 
the matter with the dog?” Old Lady 
(indignantly) : “I want you to know, 
sir,- that my husband is a gentleman.” 
The druggist put up some quinine pills 
in profound silence.—Young Pilgrim. 
“Pardon me, Dr. Nextly, but it is sim¬ 
ply preposterous for you to want to 
marry my daughter. You are more than 
twice as old as she is.” “I know that, 
Mr. .Svkes, but when she has been a 
preacher’s wife ten or fifteen years she 
will look fully as old as I do.”—Chicago 
Tribune. 
“The only news I have to tell you,” 
wrote the Billville citizen, “is that the 
river has riz an’ drowned all yer cattle, 
an’ yer uncle has broke jail; likewise 
the widder woman you wuz a-goin’ ter 
marry has runned off with a book agent. 
Outside of these here things, we air all 
doin’ well.”—Atlanta Constitution. 
“What subject have you taken for 
your address at the Civic Club?” “Wo¬ 
man’s moral obligations as a citizen.” 
“What a lovely subject. And what are 
you going to wear?” “That new gown I 
brought home with me from Paris. And 
just think, I had it so cleverly packed 
in with my old clothes that the custom¬ 
house inspector never discovered it was 
there.”—Baltimore American. 
“Yes,” said the fancy farmer, “we 
had to let our imported Swiss milkmaid 
go.” “What was the trouble with her?” 
the sympathizing friend inquired. “Care¬ 
lessness. If we didn’t watch her closely 
she’d do the milking in her second best 
pair of kid gloves, and once we actually 
caught her cleaning our prize Jersey’s 
teeth with an ordinary scrubbing 
brush !”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. 
“Have you ever noticed,” began the 
bald gentleman, who liked to entertain 
the people gathered in his corner of the 
hotel piazza, “that little men invariably 
marry large women?” “It may be so,” 
murmured a mild-eyed fellow guest, 
“but I had always supposed that it was 
the other way about—that the large 
women married the small men.”-- 
Youth’s Companion. 
Tommy Tuff seemed particularly ob¬ 
tuse that morning, but “dear teacher” 
was determined to make him understand. 
“You say you own a dog, Tommy,” she 
said. “Then you have a quadruped, 
don’t you see?” “No’m,” replied Tommy. 
“But I explained to you a moment ago 
that any animal with four legs was a 
quadruped.” “Yes’m, but Buster lost 
one o’ his’n fightin’ a trolley car.”— 
Catholic Standard and Times.

DICK jLMAN EXTRA 
Gal\£ Jiized Metal Roofing 
We guarantee- 1, ^ r 15 years, but know it will last twice that long. 
We know that® dr* roofing which was put up 25 years ago is still in excellent 
condition —and should last 25 years longer. We do not simply tell you or promise 
you our roofing will last for 15 years —we guarantee it. Ask your dealer about 
DICKELMAN EXTRA. If he doesn’t sell it, write us at once for sample and 
our valuable roofing book—sent prepaid. Know why we can guaratitee our roofing 
for 15 years while others make vague promises that mean nothing. 
The secret of the durability of Dickelman Extra lies in the wonderful system 
of galvanizing—and the high quality of the materials used. The metal sheet we 
use for a base is made by a special process which leaves it tough—yet pliable 
and open-grained. So the galvanizing material fills up the “pores”—and actu¬ 
ally becomes a part of the finished sheet. This prevents it from cracking— 
" scaling—wearing or rusting off.
