THE COMFORTER.
The light of a young moon lay ten
derly on the veranda. The woman in
the willow chair looked very frail and
helpless in its eerie light. The strong
man near her leaned forward and
spoke more rapidly. She seemed un
certain, wavering. There had not
been time to think; she had been so
newly widowed;
But as the man talked on, a radi
ance crept into her pretty eyes. Could
such things be, such wonders? He
spoke feelingly of the two dependent,
chubby babies in the nursery. For
them. It would be best for them.
Finally, hopefully, she consented. The
strong hand clasped the small femi
nine one fervently, and the man'
strode buoyantly down the path.
He had known she would consent.
They always did, the frail, the help
less, the widowed. For as a vendor
of bogus oil stock he had no peer.
REVISED VERSION.
When a woman takes the platform
And commences to orate
In the very newest hat form
And habiliments ornate,
Then a man’s complexion bleaches
And his heart begins to fail,
For the female of the speeches
Is more deadly than the male.
PROVED HIS CASE.
Redd—I hear you were haled to
court for speeding?
Greene—So I was.
“What do you thing of the judge?”
“Not much. He’s a plagarist.’’
“What makes you think that?”
“Why, he said $10 or ten days.”
“Well?”
“Why, that’s just what the judge
said that I was before last week!”—
Yonkers Statesman.
Ypice from Aloft: Yo-ho there
down below 1 Who said you could
sail a yacht? You’d make a dandy
skipper on a hand organ, you would!”
IDENTIFIED.
Doctor—I bought a motor yester
day.
Friend—What sort is it—Daimler,
Austin, Sunbeam, Omax, Simplex?
Doctor—Not but it starts with T.
Friend—Oh it’s a Ford, all the oth
ers start with petrol.—London Tele
graph.
“I want to get a good fishing pole.”
“Yes sir; about how long sir?”
“Oh, one that will hold about two
quarts.”
“It is hard to understand a woman.”
“And other women won’t help you.”
—Louisville Courier- Journal.
THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
“Football guide sir?” said the street
vender to the burly man who was
hurrying to the match.
“No,” replied the latter.
“All the news, photos of players,
and—”
“No, I tell yer.”
“Past records, fixtures, and—”
"Get out!”
“Information worth a quid—’’
Out shot the burly one’s foot and
the next moment the youth was sit
ting in the gutter. Slowly he rose,
smiled sadly, held up a fotball guide
and continued:
“No, but puttin’ all jokin’ on one
side, mister, d’yer want a football
guide?”
He could resist no longer.—North
China Standard.
A SIGN OF THE TIMES. _•
“Have you bought a car?”
“Why, no,” answered Mr. Fewcads..
“Why do you ask?”
“I noticed a smart coupe standing
in front of your door Monday morn-
ing.
