Teacher: “Now then, all together, 
once more: ‘Little drops of water’—and 
for goodness sake put a little more spirit 
into it!”—Melbourne Leader. 
Judge: “Where have I seen your face 
before?” Prisoner: “I am the dentist 
who pulled your tooth last week.” Judge: 
“Fifteen years !”—Credit Lost. 
She: Why do they paint the inside of 
a chicken-coop?” He: “To keep the hens 
from picking the grain out of the wood.” 
—Lehigh Burr. 
“Waiter, is this veal?” “Yes, sir.” 
“Well, I'll bet he gave his family lots of 
trouble. lie certainly was a young 
tough.”—Judge. 
Mother: “Why didn’t you take your 
bath?” Tommy: “I thought there might 
be some mines in the water.”—New York 
Sun. 
Little Sophie: “Father, what is ex¬ 
ecutive ability?” Prof. Broadhead : “The 
faculty of earning your bread by the 
work of other people.”—Credit Lost. 
“Anyhow, there’s one advantage in

“What’s that?” asked his friend. “You 
can hold your socks up with thumbtacks." 
—Columbia Jester. 
“I always call a spade a spade,” said 
the emphatic man. “That’s right,” re¬

The teacher was holding up a picture 
of a zebra. “Now, children, what is 
this?” “It looks to me like a horse in a 
bathing suit,” answered little Arthur.— 
Harper’s Magazine. 
“What is your name?” a Kentuckian 
asked a negro boy. “Well, boss,” he an¬ 
swered, “everywhere I goes they give me 
a__ new name, but my maiden name was 
Moses.”—Everybody's. 
“My boy has the whooping cough.’ 
“That must worry you.” “Well, maybe 
it’s all for the best. When lie's whooping 
he can’t ask questions and I get time to 
read up on the inquiries he has already 
made.”—Washington Star. 
“As a matter of fact.” said the lawyer 
for the defendant, trying to be sarcastic, 
“you were scared half to death and don’t 
know whether it was a motor car or 
something resembling a motor car that hit 
you.” “It resembled one all right,” the 
plaintiff made answer. “I was forcibly 
struck by the resemblance.”—London Tit- 
Bits. 
A San Francisco clergyman recently 
at the close of his sermon announced that 
in the course of the week he expected to 
go on a mission to the heathen. One of 
the parishioners exclaimed. “Why, my 
dear doctor, you have never told us one 
word of this before. It leaves us unpre¬ 
pared. What shall we do?” “Brother,” 
said the minister solemnly, “I shall not 
leave town.”—Argonaut. 
The Westminster Gazette tells of a 
tourist doing the sights of Edinburgh 
who, on being informed by his guide that 
he was in John Knox’s house, put the 
question, “Who was John Knox?” In a 
scandalized tone he got the reply, “Man, 
d’ye never read yer Bible?” 
Tom, the country six-year-old, pre¬ 
senting himself one day in even more 
than his usual state of dust and disorder, 
was asked by his mother if he would not 
like to be a little city boy, and always 
be nice and clean in white suits and shoes 
and stockings. Tom answered scornfully, 
“They're not children; they’re pets.”—

Profitable Investment 
Th ^velopment of the motor" car" has been so 
Tc- it is hard to say" just when cars ceased to 
1S a luxury' and became a practical investment. 
cars give pleasure; perhaps more than an y' form of 
outdoor* recreation. 
But they give vastly more than pleasure. They give service 
— efficient service—and to none more than to the farmer. 
The farmer* is a business man. Yet his place of business 
is farther removed from the source of supply' and demand 
than any other business. 
If the city man needs a car for business purposes, how much 
more does the farmer need one — how much more do you need one? 
There are three splendid Regal cars, each one made for service—each 
admirably” adapted to the farmer’s needs. 
A Light “Four” at . 
A Standard “Four” at 
A DeLuxo “Eight” at 
All of these models are five passenger capa¬ 
city, fully equipped, including electric lights 
and starter—have crown fenders, demount¬ 
able rims and one man tops.
