A PURE WASTE OF TIME.
“Old man, i hate to tell you,” said
the candid friend to D’ Auber, the art
ist, “but your are wasting your time
painting pictures.”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said D’Auber
proudly; “I sell them, don’t IT”
“That’s just it. If you can sell them
you can sell anything, so why don’t
you take up something there’s big
money in?”
AS SOMETIMES HAPPENS.
Six-year-old Mark had a goose of
uncertain age of which he was very
fond.
One day the goose was supposed to
have eaten something poisonous and
Mark’s mother was trying to give it
some grease to relieve it. Seeing the
goose struggling, Mark’s sympathy
was aroused.
“Look out, mother,” he cried, “you’re
going to kill it before it dies.”
NATURAL MEANS.
Time, during the final examination
at the normal.
Class, in agriculture.
One of the young ladies arose and
said:
“Mr. Davis, this third question, ‘Ex
plain the process of pasteurizing milk,’
does that mean how long the cow will
have to run in the pasture before she
will give pasteurized milk?”
GOOD ADVICE.
A minister was questioning his Sun
day-school concerning the story of Eu-
tychus, the young man who, listening
to the preaching of the Apostle Paul,
fell asleep, and, falling out of a win
dow, was taken up dead.
“What,” he. asked, “do we learn from
this solemn event?’
The reply from a little girl came:
“Please, sir, ministers should learn
not to preach too long sermons.”
—Tit-Bits...
MIGHT AS WELL.
Uncle Tobey was a hospitiable soul.
He wanted no guest in his house to be
stinted. “Have some, have some,” he
invited cordially at the supper table,
sending around the platter for the
third time; “we’re going to give it to
the pigs any way.”
Violet: Adele is such an economi
cal little body!
La Rose: Ah, yes! She’ll trudge
for miles from one law office to another
to save ten dollars on a divorce.
—Boston Globe.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
“Did you see my sunburst last
night?” inquired the pompous Mrs.
Newrich of her poorer neighbor.
“No, I didn’t,” said the neighbor
caustically; “but I certainly thought
he would if he ate another bite.”
KNEW THE COLOR ALL RIGHT.
“Say,” said the landlord to the ten
ant who was two months shy on his
rent, “ when am I going to see the
color of your money?”
“I can’t exactly say when you are
going to see it,” replied the party of
the second part, “but I can tell you
about it: The color just now is an
invisible green.”
“I forgot myself and spoke angrily
to my wife,” remarked Mr. Meekton.
“Did she resent it?”
“For a moment. But Henrietta is a
fair-minded woman. After she thought
it over she shook hands with me and
congratulated me on my bravery.”
—Kansas City Star.

The landlady beamed upon the new
boarder. “N ow don’t be afraid of
the bacon, Mr. Pullman,” she said, try
ing to make him feel thoroughly at
home.
“Not at all, madam, not at all,” re
plied Pullman. “Why, I’ve seen a
piece twice as large and it didn’t frigh
ten me a bit.”
IN THESE DAYS OF WAR.
“Say, Jim,” said the friend of the
taxicab driver, standing in front of
the vehicle, “there’s a purse lying on
the floor of your car.”
The driver looked carefully around
and then whispered:
“Sometimes when business is bad,
I put it there and leave the door open.
It’s empty, but you’ve no idea how
many people’ll jump in for a short
drive when they see it.

“And this,” said the teacher, “is the
rhinoceros. Look carefully at his
armored hide.”
“I see,” said the bad boy of the
class. “An’ wot’s this one?”
“That,” answered the teacher, “is a
giraffe.”
“Gee! He’s got a periscope.”
THOSE SAVED STITCHES.
She: A stitch in time saves nine,
you know.
He: Yes, but what becomes of alt
the stitches that thrifty people have
saved_in that way.?...
ALWAYS ON THE JOB.
A small boy wanted a watch and, as
most small boys do, kept teasing his
father until he was positively forbid
den to mention the matter again. It
was the custom in this family every
morning, after family prayers, for
each member to recite one text from
the Scriptures. Next morning, when
it came time for the small boy’s turn,
he said promptly:
"What I say unto you I say unto all,
watch!”
