ON THE RAGGED EDGE.
A man bearing the undeniable stamp
of the Emerald Isle entered a newspaper
office and. inquired for the editor. Final
ly ho was granted an interview.
“Here’s a poem on the ‘Owld Couu-
diry/ sorr, an’ it’s hopin’ you’ll take it,
Oi am.”
“What is you address?” inquired the
busy editor.
‘ ‘ That depinds entoirely on you, sorr, ’ ’
replied the poet, bestowing a beaming
smile on the other, which was entirely
lost.
“Depends on me!” repeated the edi
tor. “What do you mean?”
“If yez takes the poem, sorr, me ad
dress will 1 be 27 North Street*” explained
the sanguine poet, “but if yes don’t take
it,” he added, darkly, “it’s mesilf that’ll
be lift widout anny address to me name,
if me landlady is good to her wurrd,
sorr. ’ ’—S. C. Clarke, Rhode Island.
HOW HE USED THEM.
“Did you kill the moths with the moth
balls I recommended?” asked the drug
gist.
‘ * No I didn’t! ” said the customer tru
culently; “I sat up all night, and didn’t
hit a single moth.”
HE WAS RIGHT.
* ‘ Bobby, ’ ’ said the Sunday-school
toacher, ‘ ‘ can’t you tell me the two things
necessary to baptism?”
‘ ‘ Yes’m, ’ ’ said Bobby; ‘ ‘ water and a
baby. ’ ’
HE KEPT WHAT WAS LEFT. !
The little son of the physician, together
with a friend, was playing in his father’s
office during the absence of the doctor, I
when suddenly the young host threw open
a closet door and disclosed to the terrific
gaze of his little friend nn articlulated
skeleton.
When the visitor had sufficiently recov
ered from his shock to stand the an
nouncement the doctor’s son explained
that his father was extremely proud of
that skeleton.
“Ts he?” asked the other. “Why?”
“I don’t know,” was the answer;
‘ ‘ maybe it was his first patient. ’ ’
THE NAKED TRUTH.
Truth and Falsehood went to swim,
Leaving clothes on river’s brim.
Falsehood dressed up in Truth’s clothes—
That is why Truth naked goes.
Truth is modest—you ’ll not meet
Naked Truth upon the street.
HOME RULE.
Mrs. Knickcr—“Did you hold a short
session with your husband?”
Mrs. Boeker—“ Yes. I merely had him
pass an appropriaton bill.”—New York
Times.
JOYFUL OCCASION .
Regular Customer—“I shall want a
large quantity of flowers from you next
week for my daughter’s coming out.”
Flower Woman—“Yes, mum. You
shall ’ave the very best for ’er, pore dear.
Wot were she put in for?”—Punch.
OMITTED ONE TRIBE.
(From Tho New York Sun).
Dr. Carlos C. McIntyre of Denver, who
has made a study of the migration ques
tion, said the other day in New York:
“You have a mayoralty contest com
ing on here. Well, that reminds mo of
one of your former mayoralty contests,
when the victor said to a friend:
“ ‘Ignacio, my boy, I was elected to
the mayoralty by the votes of eight na
tionalities—eight stanch nationalities vot
ing for me, Ignacio, as one man.’
“ ‘Who were they?’ asked the other.
“ ‘They were,’ replied the Mayor,
‘Italians, Germans, Irish, Polish, Russian,
j Greek, French, and—and ’
‘ ‘ ‘ That’s only seven. Go on, ’ said the
other.
“ ‘French and—French and ’ fal
tered the Mayor; but, to save his life,
he could not think of the eighth nation
ality that had elected him.
“ ‘By jingo; maybo it was Ameri
cans! ”
“ ‘That’s it! ’ cried the Mayor. ‘Amer
icans—that’s it, exactly! I couldn’t
think of ’em to save me.’ ”
CAUSE AND EFFECT.
“It is very curious to me,’’ said Slith
ers, “what a musical voice Mrs. Bright-
eyes has, and yet whenever she speaks
in French it is hard and rasping—almost
metallic. ’ ’
“Oil, that’s only natural! ” said Gingo.
“You see, Mrs. Brighteyes learned
French by phonograph, and she has mis
taken the imperfections of the records
for accent.”
THE FOOL.
(From Tit-Bits).
The story is told of a well-known trav
eler who on one journey was much an
noyed by a pedantic bore who forced him
self upon him nnd made a great parade of
liis learning.
The traveler bore it as long as he could,
and at length, looking at him gravely,
said:
“My friend, you and I know all that
is to bo known.”
“How is that?” said the man, pleased
with what ho thought a complimentary
association.
“Why,” said the traveler, “you know
everything except that you are a fool,
and I know that.”
MADE AN ENEMY.
‘ ‘ IIuvo you ever placed yourself in the
hands of a beauty doctor, Mrs. Muggs-
worth?”
“Why do you ask me that?”
“My husband wants me to go at once.”
“Yes. I have been taking regular
treatments from one for the past year.”
“Then I think I’ll not go. It seems
to be useless. ’ ’—San Francisco Call.
A FAUX PAS.
(From The Boston Transcript).
Mrs. Exe: ‘ ‘ Tom says that in order to
be a successful poker player one must
bo cool, crafty, selfish, deceitful and have
a touch of meanness in one’s disposi
tion ? ’ ’
Mrs. Wye: “I guess that’s right. My
husband says that your husband nearly
always wins.”
