Yearning’ for Utterance. |
Small Frances, aged three, was told i
that she must not talk at the table—
that children must be seen and not
heard. One day at a company dinner
her mother noticed the child apparent
ly gasping for breath.
“What is the matter, darling?”
“Mudder, my mouf is so full of talk
I can’t swallow!”
A Dramatic Difference.
“Mamma, what is the difference be
tween a ham actor and a bum actor?”
The careful mother gave the child’s
question a moment’s profound consid
eration before replying.
“Well, my son,” she said slowly, so
that the youthful mind would get the
lull comprehension and be able to dis
criminate thoroughly through all fu
ture time, “a bum actor would indig
nantly resent being called a ham ac
tor, but a ham actor would not care
at all how much he was called a bum
actor if he could still draw his sal
ary.”
Literary Note.
Longfellow had just written “Excel
sior.”
“If I want to wait,” he mused, “I
might get a big price for this as brenk-
'fast food poetry.”
Heaving a sigh, he mailed the manu
script to his publishers.
I Near Thoughts.
i The Chautauqua is an educational
institution. Even if the patrons learn
no more than how to spell and pro
nounce it, it will not have been in
vain.
The way to tell whether a distant ob
ject in the North Carolina mountains
is a stump or a native—Watch it. If
it moves, it’s a stump.
Not the New Woman.
A new little girl’s composition on
woman is out. It says: “Boys are men
that have not got as big as their papas,
and girls are women that will be la
dies by and bye. Man was made be
fore woman. When God looked at
Adam, he said to himself: ‘Well. I
think I can do better if I try again.’
'And he made Eve. Boys are a trou
ble. They wear out everything but
soap. If I bad my way, half the world
would be girls and the rest dolls. My
papa is so nice that I think he must
have been a little girl when he was a
little boy. Man was made, and on
the seventh day lie rested. Woman
was then made and she has never rest
ed since.”
Always the Same.
“She was all the rage when he mar
ried her.”
“And she has lost no chance to
storm at him ever since.”
to this cigar as having a great future
ahead of it.
In asking Mr. Patterson what he
attributes this remarkable sale to, he
says, first: You must have the quality
to build upon, and second: plenty of
good advertising and advertising in
good mediums.

Atlanta has thousands of workmen,
Brave men who are honest and true;
They are weary of watching and wait
ing,
And are anxious for something to do.
2
There is work in all parts of our city,
Which ought to be done right away;
t It’s enough to excite a man’s pity—
j This useless and costly delay.
3
! The time is upon us for action,
And no man his duty should shirk.
Help, members of every faction,
Let’s put our own people to work.

You Can’t Be Too Careful.
In the amiable way of villagers, they
were discussing the matrimonial affaiis
of a couple who, though recently wed,
had begun to find the yoke of Hymen
a burden.
“ ’Tis all along o’ them hasty mar-
"riages,” opined one caustic old gentle
man, who had been much to the fore
in the discussion. “They did not un
derstand each other. They’d nobbut
knowed each other for a matter of
seven years.”
“Well, that seems long enough,” said
a listener.
“Long eno’? Bah! Ye’re wrong.
When a body’s courting he canna be
too careful. Why, my eourtship with
Mary lasted a matter of nineteen
years.”
“You were certainly careful,” agreed
the listener; “and did you find your
plan successful when you married?”
“Ye jump to conclusions too hast
ily,” said the old man. “I understood
'her then, so I didn’t marry her!”
The Quaint Cow.
Association of ideas brings some ec
centric notions.
That tickle up our risibles with very
funny emotions.
For instance, ’tis a fact to which
,there can be no objection:
A Jersey cow don’t use cold cream
to freshen her complexion.
