Judge. 
She: “I’m going to give you back our 
engagement ring—I love another.” He: 
“Give me his name and address.” She: 
“Do you want to kill him?” He: “No, 
I want to sell him the ring.”—Pick-Me-

“I see they have taken the seven A. M. 
train off this line. Do you miss it?” 
asked one suburbanite of another. “I 
miss it, certainly, but not so often as I 
used to when it was on.”—Philadelphia 
Inquirer. 
“So Wild Bill died of a snake bite? 
Whar did he git it?’ “Oh, th’ snake

—Judge’s Library. 
“I’ve got you down for a couple of

Philadelphia Press. 
“Ef thet trolley company was to

debted to the company.”—Judge. 
Eminent Advocate: “Well, my little 
may, what are you going to be when you 
grow up?” Little Man: “Father thinks 
I should become a lawyer.” Eminent 
Advocate (highly flattered) : “Why does 
he think that? Is it because you arc so 
clever?” Little Man: “Oh, no. It’s be¬ 
cause I ask so many silly questions.”— 
London Opinion. 
Mu. Flaherty surveyed the clear sky 
with a frown. “It’ll sure be raining 
to-day,” he announced, gloomily. “What 
makes you say that?” asked his friend. 
“Because,” said Mr. Flaherty, “I’ve 
taken notice that whin I don’t expect it 
to rain at all, that’s the time it docs, an’ 
nobody could be expecting it to-day, wid 
a sky like that.”—Youth’s Companion.
