BY THEIR FRUITS SHE KNEW
THEM.
In her draped and darkened tent
the amateur palmist was telling for
tunes for the charity bazaar.
“Ah,' ’she said with slow impres
siveness to the feir maiden who im
patiently awaited her fate. “I see by
your hand that you are going to be
married."
“How wonderful!” breathed the
client with a blush and a giggle.
“And," went on the wise one, a note
of acerbity creeping into her voice,
“I see the happy one is to be Mr.
Binks.”
“But surely," demurred the maid,
"you cannot read) that from the lines
in my hand.”
“.Lines nothing!” exclaimed the
syfbil with sudden scorn. “You are
wearing the ring I returned to Mr.
Bin<ks three weeks ago.”
BUT WAS THE DOCTOR
GRATEFUL?
“Oh, I am so grateful that you came
so quickly in response to my call,
doctor!" said the young bride.
“Well," replied the physician, smil
ing into the pretty face, “I am only
too glad to do so, particularly as you
said it was so urgent.”
“Yes,, doctor, it is,* she replied.
“Some unexpected guests have come
and the butler hasn’t turned up as
he promised. And as I know you are
accustomed to killing things, I want
ed to ask if you would kill a couple
of chickens for me.”
HADN’T HARMED THEM.
Visitor: “My good man, you keep
your pigs much too near the house."
Cottager: “That’s just what the
doctor said, mum; But I don’t see
how it’s agoin’ to hurt ’em.”
THE PRAYER HE NEEDED.
A Salvation Army lassie was sell
ing The War Cry at the windows of
the London trains. In one of the
compartments were a number of
young men, and one of them, think
ing to have some fun at the expense
of the sister, asked her if she would
offer up a word of prayer for him.
Rising to the occasion, the sister
put her hand on his head and, to the
amusement .of those within hearing
distance, prayed:
“O Lord, make this young man’s
heart as soft as his head.”
THE DIFFERENCE.
“God loves the Irish,” said Mike to
Pat as they were taking up the pave
ment on Fifth Avenue.
“He does that,” answered Pat as he
looked up and saw Andrew Carnegie
whizzing by in a big limousine, “but
he sems to help the Scothch.”
THE COLLEGE "FOLLOW-UP."
“My college certainly takes an in
terest in its graduates,” said Jones
to Smith.
“How’s that?” asked Smith.
“Why, here I get a note from the
dean saying he will be glad to hear
of the death of any of the alumni.”
A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
“Never put off till tomorrow what
you can do today,” quoted the minis
ter on bis Christmas visit.
“That’s right," replied the youth.
“I did that once and the next day
they took down the mistletoe.”
PLENTY OF ROOM ANYWAY.
“It is a mistake,” declared the
young man oracularly to the girl he
had just met at the Christmas house
party, “for a girl to marry a man
to reform him."
“That may be so,” asquiesced the
fair one, “but there are very few
men in whom a girl cannot effect at
least some improvements.”
AND SO IS THE ONION.
The onion differs from the peach.
Few people of the onion screech
In rime or song.
But fortune always makes amends,
And those who are the onion’s friends
Are for it strong.
BOLD GLADYS.
“Gladys will insist on making her
self conspicuous by the way she
dresses,” exclaimed the critical girl.
“What does she wear?-
“Skirts that come way dam below
the tops of her shoes.”
ALL DEPENDS.
“Telephones are great time-savers,
aren’t they?”
“Well, that depends upon who calls
you up."
CAN YOU BLAME HIM?
Pater: Who is making that infer
nal jangle on the piano?
Mater: That’s Constance at her
exercise.
Pater: Well, for heaven’s sake, tell
her to get her exercises some other
way.
ENOUGH ALREADY.
Willis: “How do you stand- on
Sunday baseball?”
Gillis: “I’m against it.”
Willis: “You don’t think the peo
ple should be allowed to enjoy them
selves on Sunday?"
Gillis: ‘“Aren’t they doing it now?
The rich have their golf clulbs and the
poor have their automobiles.”
THE MAN HE LEFT BEHIND.
An English storekeeper went to the
war and left his clerk behind to look
after things. When he was wounded
and taken to the bisplta 1 , what was
his surprise to find his clerk in the
cot next to him.
“Well, I thought I left you to take
keeper.
“You did,” answered the clerk. “But
you didn’t tell me I had to look after
your women folks as well as the
Btore. I stood it as long as I could
and then I said to myself: ‘look heie,
if you’ve got to fight, you might as
well go and fight someone that you
can hit’ ’’
