A Question of Quietude.
“Where’s your father?” asked the
summer boarder.
“Goue fishiu’,” answered the boy
with one suspender. “He has some of
the queerest luck you ever heard of."
“Why didu't you go with him?”
“Dad wouldn’t let me. When he
goes fishin’ he doesn’t want anybody
to disturb him while he’s thiukin’ up
the things he’s goiu’ to tell when he
gets home.”- Washington Star.
A Matter of Pronunciation.
A conductor aDd a brakenian on a
Montaua railroad differ as to the prop¬
er pronunciati6n of the name Eurelia.
Passengers are often startled upon ar¬
rival at this station to hear the con¬
ductor yell:
“You’re a liar! You’re a liar!”
And then from the brakeman at the
other end of the car:
“You really are! You really are!”—
