Sooner or later in life there comes
To each and every one,

Go just as far as five.
-Life.
THE WRONG MAN CONVICTED.
Visitor (in court room)—“What
dastardly crime was committed by the
prisoner who was just convicted?”
“He stole a ride on a railroad.”
“And the man who got free?”
“He stole the railroad.”
NEED OF A NEW WEATHER INDICATOR.
Husband—“I really believe that my
rheumatism has entirely disappeared.”
Wife—“Well, I hope it will not stay
away for good, as then we will have to
buy a barometer to find out when it is
going to rain .”—Texas Siftings.
IT WAS A COLD.
Miss Sharpe—“Oh, how do you do
Mr. Sissy? You are not looking very
well.”
Mr. Sissy—“No, Miss Shawpe; I’ve a
cold or something in my head.”
Miss Sharpe (calmly)—“I think it must
be a cold,Mr. Sissy .”—Munsey 8 Weekly.
GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE PRICE.
Mr. Slowpay—“I don’t like to com¬
plain about trifles, Mrs. Snapper, but my
hash appears to consist largely of frag¬
ments of deal board.”
Mrs. Snapper (the landlady)—“Well,
what kind of board do you expect for $5
a week? Polished mahogany?”— Mun¬
sey's Weekly.
WHAT HE TOOK.
“What did he take?” inquired the de¬
tective that had been hastily sum¬
moned.”
‘ ‘I think he took the train for Canada, ”
replied the bank President, who was
walking about through the empty vault
and whistling dolefully an andante in G
minor. ”— Chicago Tribune.
X rGOROUS METHODS.
Mr. Barkling (undergoing a medical
examination for insurance)—“Are you
going to punch me again like that,
doctor?”
The Physician—“Just once more.”
Mr. Barkling—“AVell, before you do
it just have the policy made out and
signed, will you?”— Judge.
a lost opportunity.
“I think that's a very pretty piece of
music,” he remarked, self-complacently,
after he had thrummed away at the piano
for fifteen minutes. “Which part do
you like best?”
4 4 The part you didn’t play,” replied
the fair girl, and he went forth into the
world, for he knew he hadn’t the ghost
of a chance there .—Lawrence American.
HIS FEELINGS WERE HURT.
First Tramn—“Bill, I’ll never go to
that house again. The woman there ain’t
goFno manners w’hatever.”
Second Tramp—“AVhat did she say?
Set the dog on you?”
First Tramp—“Naw; but she gimme
a solt biled egg, and w’hen I asked for a
napkin, she said: ‘Don’t be so pertik-
ler.’ ”— Light.
CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.
Yabsley—“If ever I marry,I shall marry
a woman of education.”
Wickwire—“I used to talk that way
mjself. But, in fact, I never had a
thonglit of marrying the present Mrs.
Wiickwire until one day I got a letter
imm her announcing that her uncle had
'di-i-d-e’ and left her sixty-five thousand
'tl-o-l-e-r-s.’ ”—Terre Haute Express.
SPECULATIVE HEREDITY.
Materfamilias—“Imogen, I don’t think
I could ever approve of your marrying
George Rockpate. I should hate to think
that any of my grandchildren would be
like him. He was such a hard-headed
boy, and it runs in the family.”
Imogen—“Yes, mamma, I know all
the Rockpates are awfully hard-headed,
but you must remember that there is
softening of the brain in our family. ’’—
Life.
A DIFFERENT QUESTION.
Reginald (in the conservatory)—“Now
that we are alone, Claire, I can ask you a
question that I have been bsrning to ask
ail the evening.” with emotion!—“Oh,
Claire (overcome
Reginald.” since I entered > the ’
Reginald—“Ever necktie
ballroom I have felt that my was
slowly creeping over the back of my col-
l&r, and the thought of my appearance
made me miserable. Teli me, Claire, is
my necktie all right?’’
HE COULDN’T FORGET HER.
Wife—“Whatever are you writing
there so busily, darling?”
Husband—“Only working at my diary,
love.”
TVfc—r see! Well, I hope
you’ve mentioned your littl# wife in it
somewhere.’’
Husband—“Rather; I've alluded to
you as ‘the sun of my life;’ and now I’m
in the middle of a graphic description of
the day when you made it so unusually
hot for me .”—Boston Transcript.
TIIE doctor’s STRATAGEM.
Doctor—“Really, madam, if you wish
those splitting headaches to stop, you
must throw away that spotted veil I see
you wear.”
Fair Patient—“Pshaw!”
“But your eyes will be ruined if you
don’t take my advice.”
“Bosh!”
(Desperately)—“Freckles are to be in
fashion next summer, I understand.”
Fair Patient (excitedly)—“I’ll stop
wearing the veil right away, doctor.”—
Lawrence American.
REASON ENOUGH.
“Can you love me a little, Ethel?”
“No, Mr. Arden.”
“Not the least little bit in the world?”
“Certainly not, sir.”
‘ ‘Then I must bid you an everlasting
farewell.”
“Before you go I think you might at
least ask me the reason.”
“The reason why you can’t love me a
little?”
“Yes.”
“Well, why?”
“Because I lore you a very great deal.”
— Puck.
STUCK IN A HOLE.
Mamma—“Johnny, what is a year?”
Johnny—“Three hundred and sixty-
five days.”
Mamma—“What is a day?”
Johnny—“Twenty-four hours—and ar
hours’s sixty minutes—and a minute is
sixty seconds.”
Mamma—“What is an instant?*
Johnny—“An instant? An instant’s a
hole in the ground.”
Mamma—“A hole in the ground? Why,
how do you make that out?”
Johnny—“My book says ‘The dog fell
down in an instant.’”— Light.
THE DARK CONTINENT.
“Does anybody live in Africa, mamma?”
asked seven-year-old Harry.
“Why, of course, my dear. People
live in all parts of the world, What
made you ask?”
“I should think they’d be scared.”
“Scared? Why, no. What should
they be scared about?”
“’Cause it’s always night time there.”
“AYhy, no, my child, it isn’t always
night time there any more than it is here.
Who gave you that idea?”
“My teacher did. She said Africa
was the ‘Dark Continent.’ ”—Buffalo Ex¬
press.
n.AD DONE ENOUGH.
“Fellow citizens,” said the candidate,
“I have fought against the Indians. I
have often had no bed but the battle¬
field, and no canopy but the sky. I have
marched over the frozen ground, till
every step has been marked with blood.”
His story told well, till a dried-up
looking voter came to the front.
i 4 Did yer say yer’d fought for tk#
Union?”
I 4 Yes,” replied the candidate.
“And agin the Indians?”
“Yes, many a time.”
“And that you slept cn the ground
with only the sky for a kiver?”
“Certainly,
“And that your feet bled in marching
over the frozen ground.
“That they did, cried the exultant
candidate.
“ iuen I’ll be blamed if you hain’t
done enough for your country. Go home
and rest. I’ll vote for the other fellow.”
THE MIGHTY TAXPAYER.
There w r as a crowd of men around the
opening of the big AVooaward avenue
sewer at Adams avenue, when one of the
bosses sang out:
“Come, now, you people, stand back!
You in the w'ay here! ’
are
All the crowd except one man stood
back.
“Stand back there, you!” j’elled the
boss.
“AVhat for?”
“Me!”
“Not much! Do you own this
sewer?”
“No, sir, but I boss this job?”
“And it’s my tax money that is help¬
ing to build the sewer and pay your
wages. You are my hired man, as far as
my money goes, A share of this ditch
belongs to me. I don’t stand back worth
shavings!” drew’
And he sat on a beam, a paper
from his pocket and during the next half
hour he seemed to thoroughly enjoy the
situation .—Detroit Free Press.
No “Tick” on Time.
Nearly every jeweler lays down a rule
never to credit anybody for a clock or
watch or anything that keeps time. I
don’t know why this is, and never heard
an y good reason assigned for it, but,
nevertheless, it is a fact. And, more-
over> we firmly believe that a watch or
a c i oc k that is brought to us for repairs
or regulating will never keep good time
if th e owner does not pay cash for the
jeb. You know we do a big credit busi¬
ness. I suppose jewelers do a larger credit
business than any other class of merchants,
and it no doubt seems surprising that we
have a class of trade that is barred from
the credit list on account of super-
stition.— 2>~ew York Dispatch.
