A BRIEF ROMANCE.
By Carolyn Wells.
When Thyrza Gotrox he han won,
A happy man was Joe one Sun.,
He thought, “My life will be all fun,
For Thyrza has a lot of mon!”
“I am not fit to tie your shoes,”
He said; “your darling Number Tues.”
But all such loving banter fled,
Quite shortly after they were Wed.
His tastes were all opposed to hers,
He said, “I cannot stand it Thurs.,
“To separate, we must decide—
“You like eggs boiled—I like 'em
Frid!”
They quarraled, and Joe, after that
Went off and left her where she Sat!
“That chapter of my life is done,”
Said Thyrza, smiling like the Sun.
The temperature was ninety-eight
degrees when Vice President Cool-
idge addressed the Minnesota State
Fair. Some folks will be hard to con
vince that it wasn’t ninety-eight be
low.
1st He—A woman spends half her
time complaining that she hasn’t a
thing to put on her back.
2nd He—Yes, and the other half
proving it.—Dartmouth Jack o’ Lan
tern.
Philip—My man, I think you are
one of the most self-controlled men I
have ever seen.
Morris—Howcum ?
“Yciu seem to have a lot of trouble
with your flivver. You get angry
with it, and yet you never swear at
it.”
“Well, you see it’s this way. I don’t
think the flivver is worth a damn.”—
Princeton Tiger.
“I have just succeeded in borrowing
$50 from Mr. Wadleigh,” announced
the impecunious citizen.
“Well,” said Mr. Dubwaite, pleas
antly, “go on and finish the story.”
“How?”
“Did he take gas during the opera
tion or did you apply a local anaes
thetic?”—Birmingham Age-Herald.
Mae—Jack was over to see me the
other night and I kept telling him
what reputation he had for being a
devil among the women.
Mary (animatedly)—And did he live
up to it?
“No, he just sat there like a perfect
boob arid kept denying it.”—Michigan
Gargoyle.
Jersey City policemen must smile
at citizens, according to the Director
of Public Safety. New York police
do better than that by citizens. They
laugh at them.

510 Courtland St.
She—How sweet of you to get me
this nice diamond (nestling closer),
and no one on earth trusts you more
than I do.
He—Oh, yes. One person does.
She (drawing closer)—Who?
“The jeweler.”—Grinnell Malteaser.

Every square mile of ocean is be
lieved to have a population of some
thing like 120,000,000 fish.—One of

Of this number, disgruntled fisher

are dogfish and the rest sea robins.
“That guy’s a blamed hypocrite.”
“What makes you say that, Jim?"
“See him go into that Math, class
with a grin on his face.”—Brown Jug.
A soft light falls
On tinted walls,
Incense is in the air.
The music trills,
And jazz then fills
The building everywhere.
I sit with him
Where all is dim,
Far from the merry dance.
I watch his face
And easy grace,
And listen—in a trance.
Although I know
That he will go
And say the same things o’er,
To other girls
With bobbing curls—
I fall for him the more.
Gee! That’s what makes me sore.
—Yale Record.
“Pardon me. Did you drop your
handkerchief during the toddle?”
“Oh! I’m so embarrassed! That’s
my dress.”—Carolina Tar Baby.
