THINKING OF FATHER
—“Now that is one of the most pa
f*iic things I have ever seen,” said
rich and benevolent old man, who,
—a scorching hot day, stood with a
watching a typical London
.reet arab.
“You see the Ice cart has been de
livering at that shop, and the poor
little chap lias taken a piece from the
gutter. Now, you and I, who can get
a refreshing drink whenever we re
quire it, cannot imagine what a luxury
that piece of ice is to that boy.”
“Here, my little fellow, here’s a
three-penny-bit. Get yourself a glass
of lemonade. You must not eat that
stuff. It will make you ill.”
“I wasn’t going to eat it,” said the
grimy little chap. “Farver’s ’aving
a sleep at ’ome, an’ I was going to
drop it down his back.”
Silencer Needed.
Some time ago I took an old col
ored man to the picture show for the
first time. When he came out I
said:
“Well, uncle, did you enjoy the pic
ture?”
“Oh, yes,” he said; “the picture
was all right, but the piano made so
much noise I couldn’t hear a word
they said.”—Charlotte Observer.
No Concentration.
“Would you call Mrs. Gadder an In
quisitive woman?"
“Not unduly so, for a member of her
sex.” „ n
“No?”
“AfteX'she has tried unsuccessfully
for six months to find out the income
of a neighbor, something else is sure
to attract her attention.”
Limited Publicity.
Angeline—Why won’t you let me
announce our engagement? You keep
saying you’ll tell the world you love
me.
Edwin —Darling, you know you’re
all the world to me.
Happens Frequently.
“It is dangerous giving an actor an
jncore,” declared Hank Ippank.
“That’s right,” assented Herb Blurb.
“Nearly always he hands you some
thing that makes you wish you hadn’t.”
Women’s Deeds.
O’Smith —Do you think the women
of today are good housekeepers?
Bumpers—Yes, indeed—once they
get the house in their name.
HI. HISS
“There goes his nibs, my boss.”
“Is that a respectful way to speak
of your employer?”
“It's all right In his case. He man
ufactures pens.”
Hate and Love.
Thank the Lord who rules,
And all His saints above,
Hate may make a million wars,
But it never conquers Love!
Very Much So.
Dolly—Oh, mother I Look at this
box of gold-tipped cigarettes that Jack
sent me. What do you think would
be suitable for him? I must give him
something, you know.
Her Mother —I think a box of bon
bons would be appropriate, my dear.
In a Class by Himself.
Editor —We want someone who can

Applicant—l‘m your man. I can even

the word “gesture.”
Didn't Blame Her.
Teacher—Johnny, can yon tell me
bow matches are made?
Johnny—No. miss, but I don’t blame
you for wanting to find out. Ma says
you’ve been trying to make one for

“That gentleman praises your com

“I’m surprised that a cat like you

“A druggist.”
