FISH BAIT.
Napkins at some hotels are now
folded in the shape of a goose. The
idea is to make guests who fee the
waiteis feel at home.— Boston Star.
An exchange is informing the public
“Why we eat raw oysters.” We al
ways supposed it was because wo liked
them that way.— Bradford, Star.
“I aim to tell the truth.” “Yes,”
interrupted an acquaintance, “and you
are probably the worst shot in Amer
ica.”—Cincinnati Saturday Night.
A local paper publishes a poem en
titled “Why the Cows Came Late.”
The cows probably came late because
they had an engagement in somebody’s
front yard.— Bradford Star.
The fool howleth against his mother
in-law and dieth of dyspepsia; the wise
man sendeth tor her and she teacheth
his darling little tootsy wootsy how to
cook.— Boston Star.
It would take about 1,250,000 earths
to make a body as large as the sun.
The sun differs from many men that
we know—it doesn’t want the earth.—
Cincinnati Saturday Night.
A St. Lonis man saw a painting of
the enchanted palace with all the guards
fast asleep and ejacnlated: “The house
is pretty old fashioned but the police
men look natural.”— Boston Star.
A Pawnee Indian always ask $125
for his pony, and always comes down
to seven dollars and a plug of tobacco
before any “dicker” is affected. Very
eccentric, those Pawnees. — Chicago
Eye.
Because an irate wife couldn’t have
all the money she wanted, she threat
ened to “soak” her diamonds, and her
brute of a husband told her she had
better go soak her head.— Cincinnati
Saturday Night.
One of the sweetest looking girls in
the State of Missouri dislocated her
shoulder the other day by kicking at a
cat. Missouri girls can kick higher
than any other brand of girls that we
know of.— Chicago Eye.
An express company in New York
refused to surrender a corpse until the
express charges were paid. Such an
offence was certainly rank, and was
liable to “smell to heaven”—and else
where.—Norristown Herald.
Having surrendered his pistol to the
Governor and not having obtained any
new one, Frank James is doubly enti
tled to distinction. He is now we be
lieve the only man in Missouri who
don’t go armed.— Boston Star.
An advertisement in a Philadelphia
paper says: “Bi-Centennial bunting
by the yard.” But who wants to buy
Centennial bunting at this late day?
We may be dead before the next Cen
tennial comes around.— Norristown
Herald.
“I pla by ere,” wrote a St. Louis
belle to a Chicago professor, who im
mediately wrote her, saying that he
believed she also spelled that way.
She says Chicago is a mean place and
no respectable person would go there
now.— Chicago Eye.
Science is making rapid strides. A
dog which has been “frozen to death”
can now be restored to life by a simple
process, and there is no telling but that
it will yet be possible to revive a dog
which has gone through a sausage cut
ter.—Bradford Star.
Talmage tried to stop Sunday ex
cursions and now it looks as if the
steamboat managers were retaliating
by trying to stop Talmage. At all
events someone has introduced an or
diance in Brooklyn councils prohibit
ing Sunday theatrical performances.—
Boston Star.
Frank James says he never killed
a man unless he felt it was positively
necessary. And he never felt that it
was necessary unles the man demurred
at the very reasonable request to deliver
up his money, watch and other valua
bles. Highwaymen are lied about, as
well as the rest of us. — Norristown
Herald.
A clam covered with hair a quarter
•f an inch in length was found a bar
rel of oyster* at a restaurant in Read
ing and the bystanders could not help
remarking how much it looked like
Oscar Wilde’s portrait. —Philadelphia
News. Probably the poor, innocent
little clam had been wading around in
a dish of butter. —Oil City Blizzard.
Are you much benefitted by your
trip to the Hot Springs?” asked Gil
hooly of an Austin hypochondriac,
who goes off every summer for his
health.
“I don’t think I am benefitted much.
lam benefitted a little by the Hot
Springs, but there is so little improve
ment in my health each year, that I
will die of old age before I get my
health back.” —Texas Siftings.
A Busli of Brains to the Head.
Boston Post.
“Don’t carry on so,” said Mrs. Part
ington to Ike, as she saw him resting
his head on the ground in a vain at
tempt to throw his heels into the air.
There was solicitude in her tone, and
a com broom in her hand, as she look
ed at him. “You must not act so
gymnastically, dear,” said she, “you’ll
force all the brainß you’ve got into your
head if you do. Yo can’t do like the
circus riders, because Providence has
made them o’ purpose for what they
do, out of Ingee rubber, and it don’t
hurt ’em at all. They ain’t got bones
like other people, an’ can turn heels
over head with impurity. Don’t do
it," screamed she, as the boy stood on
one leg on the wood horse, and made a
feint as if to throw a summerset, “you’l
desecrate your neck, by and by, with
your nonsense, and you’ll regret it as
long as yon live.” Ike desisted, aB
the dame smiled and held a circnlar
piece of copper before his gaze; such
potencep had that smile over him, back
ed by the copper.
