The True New Yorker.
I love New York— a true New York
er I!
In January to Florida I hie;
March drives me homeward, with' a
week to stay
At Aiken or Augusta on the way.
Reaching New York, from train to
ship I haste,
The joys of Europe hurrying to taste.
For travel all athirst, at speed I
prance
Through classic Ttaly, through sunny
France—
Lend of deft milliners and artist
cooks—
And England, with her somewhat
haughty dukes.
July draws near; again I cross the
sea, r . _ •...
For Newport, queen of summer, calls
to me.
And when her season and its pleas
ures wane,
For change and rest? I seek the shores
of Maine.
To Lenox next I turn, when autumn
spills
Her gorgeous colors on the Berkshire
bills.
November comes—Long Island’s level
fields
Lure me to try what pleasures hunting
yields.
I shun New York, you say? Nay, that’s
1 not true!
The horse show mice, the opera twice
I view;
I eat three dinners at my friends’ ex
pense;
Then the year’s ended; and I must
commence
Once more my annual round by land
and sea.
Oh, yes, I love New York! But can
it be
Because so little of New York I see?
—R. H. Titherington.
That Paree.
The women of Paris have thought
out another thing to keep the men
from coming home early. Not con
tent with the slashed skirt, they are
now leaving off their stockings. No
wonder statistics show that so many
men are run down on the streets in
Paris—a person can’t look two ways
at once.
Could Not Use Them.
“Please, ma’am, an old man, tired and
poor, ' r
With wooden legs, is at the door.”
“W|hy, Bridget, we need none,” said
she.
“What use for wooden legs have we?”
People who live on a bluff often
fall.
A Narow Escape for the Child.
“Hold on!” cried the proud young
father, as the minister was about to
proceed. “Before the baby is chris
tened, I want to change his name.”
“What is the trouble?” the good man
asked. “Ebenezer is a good name.”
“No matter. We’ll call him Har
old. I’ve just heard that Uncle Eb
enezer, the old fool! has married a
woman who is young enough to he
his daughter.”

Teacher (drawing two parallel
lines on the blackboard)—"What rela

“Wliat’s the matter? Don’t I
know how to cut meat?” demanded
the discharged butcher.
“You do,” replied the 1 proprietor of
the meat market. “But your hand
does not weight enough to* retail it
profitably.”
In Style by Accident.
He came home just before dinner
and hung up his hat. She failed to
meet him at the door, as was her cus
tom, so he wandered out to the kitch
en. At the door' he halted, somewhat
disconcerted.
“What’s this, Isabel? Green hair?”
She was bending over the frying
pan and did not deign to notice him.
“And purple eyebrows?”
The slice of ham in the pan squirm
ed, and she stabbed it viciously.
“Why, label,” he went on whim-
ically, “I didn’t know you went In
for these extreme fashions!”
She tossed back one eyebrow lock
and fixed him with a baleful eye.
“Look here, you!” she hissed. “I
don’t want any funny talk out of you!
I’m all worn out dyeing Easter ggs!”’
—Wm. S. Adkins.
Probably.
Miss Paul—Her voice was strained.
Miss Pry—Was she talking through
her veil?
Wine, Woman and Song;
“I have lost three fortunesfi” he
boasted.
“I don’t think that is anything to be
proud of,” she replied.
“Well, maybe.it isn’t,” he admitted;
“but I thought you might like to
know that I had graduated from all
three schools of foolishness. Drink
put me to the had the first time, 1
wasted my second fortune on a Wo
man, and I blew, in the third on a
pmsical comedy.”
