HOW COULD HE KNOW?
The youth seated himself in the den
tist’s chair. He wore a wonderful
striped shirt and a more wonderful
checked suit and had the vacant stare of
“nobody home” that goes with both.
The dentist looked at his assistant.
“I am afraid to give him gas.” he said.
“Why?” asked the assistant.
“Well,” said the dentist, “how can I
tell when he’s unconscious?”
OF COURSE IT WAS
“Can any pupil tell where the Devlav-
ation of Independence was signed?”
asked the teacher of the history class.
“Yes’m, I can,” called little Johnnie
Baker. “It was signed at the bottom.”
THE LAST WORD IN DRESS
REFORM
“Will you alter this gown to fit me?”
asked the young lady of her dress
maker.
The couturlere raised her hands in
pious horror.
“Certainly not, mademoiselle, cer
tainly not,” she answered. “Wily that
isn’t done any more. You must be
altered to fit the gown.”
HELPING FATHER OUT
“Oh, John!” exclaimed the young
mother happily: “the baby can walk!”
“Good for him!’ returned the cruel
father. “Then he can walk the floor
with himself at night.”

A NEW VIEWPOINT.
I’m vexed and perplexed at the flight
of the seasons,
Their fleetness is something appall
ing;
I never endeavor to follow a fashion
But what a new fashion is calling:
The seasons, for reasons unknown tc
humanity,
Marathon mighty like magic,
Compelling a yelling to hubby foi
money,
Which makes hubby tearfully tragic
I plead that I need a new gown ir
the springtime,
For then even Nature’s renewing
Its raiment. But payment has scarce
ly been settled
Before extra trouble is brewing .
My dress, I confess, has grown simply
outrageous,
I’m laughed at by all of my neigh
bors,
And when he’s spent pennies and dol
lars, a new style.
Has rendered quite fruitless our la
bors.
I care not a hair for the fashions
however,
Another thought lurks ’neath ray
bonnet.
(A thought that is naught to a writer
of verses
Except as a theme for a sonnet):
I’m vexed and perplexed, as I men
tioned beforehand,
Because Time’s escapement is bol
der,
And ’m (it’s a crime!) in the awful
position
Of finding myself growing older.
—A. Walter Vtting.
HOW IT HAPPENED
At midnight on April thirtieth the
gourmand smacked his lips over his
last oyster.
“Confound it all,” he growled; “I’d
have had another month for eating oys
ters if some idiot hadn’t nicknamed
Mery ‘May.’”
THE PROFESSOR WAS RIGHT
The late professor Lounsbury, of
Yale, was a foe of the purist and
pedant. On his summer vacation in
the Adirondacks one year the profes
sor gazed across the lake one gray and
sultry afternoon and remarked: “It
looks like rain.”
A pedant was sitting in a rocking
chair nearby.
“What looks like rain, professor?”
he chuckled. “I’ve got you there.
What looks like rain?”ffl ffl ffl
Professor Lounsbury turned a cold
eye upon the critic and answered:
j “Water.”
