For three solid hours the captain had
been lecturing his men on “the duties
of a soldier.” and he thought it was
time to see how much they had under
stood of his discourse. Casting his
eyes round the room, he fixed on Pri
vate Murphy as his first victim.
"Private Murphy,” he asked, “why
should a soldier be ready to die for his
country?”
Private Murphy scratched his head
for a moment, and then a smile of en
lightenment crossed his face,
“Sure, captain,” he said, pleasantly,
"you’re quite right. Why should he?”
Interested Lady—Oh, dear, look!
That’s Mr. Rhymer, the celebrated
S c how his finger touches his
lip and how his lofty brow Is knit in
ought. Oh. I wonder what sweet
- rsel of verse he is meditating?
Mr. Rhymer (to himself) —“I have to
order sugar from the grocer’s, beef
at the butcher’s, pay for last week's
bread, and bring some soothing syrup
for the baby. I wish to goodness Mary
would attend to all these things her
self!
Counsel for the defendant In a crim
inal case had made an eloquent speech,
bringing tears to the eyes of many
present in court; but the jury, com
posed of hard-headed old countrymen
on whose ears oratory and sentiment
fell like snowflakes on a warm chimney,
were unmoored. Counsel for the prose
cution, rising to reply, took their meas
ure at a glance.
“Gentlemen,” he said, "let it be un
derstood to begin with that I am not
boring for water! ”
The oflteers of a British man-of-war
were entertaining their friends with a
grand lunch, and in attendance were
some typical British tars. A young
lady, wanting a piece of bread, looked
behind her chair at one of the sailors
in waiting and asked him to bring her
what she wanted. But he drew himself
up stiff and stern and, to her amaze
ment, replied:
“Can't do it, miss; fm told off for
tatere.”
The other day a visitor surprised a
distinguished professor, who was say
ing to his baby: >
"On-ny, no-ny, ’e mussy tick his
tootsy tootsies —”
Just then he caught sight of the vis
itor, blushed and muttered:
No, no; you must not expose your
pedal extremities by extending them
beyond the protective covering of the
blankets, or you will lay your system
open to attacks of catarrhal affec
tion.”
'McKie was badly hurt in that street
car smash, wasn’t he, doctor?”
"Very. w 6 had to amputate both
legs.”
How sad! Will he pull through?”
’Oh, yes; we’U have him on his feet
again in less than three months.”
Air. Robinson—Why do you stop so
often? Can’t you keep up with me?
hair Typist (rather shaky in her
orthography)—Oh, yes, but your lan
guage is so eloquent that I frequently
feel myself spellbound.
Sunday School Teacher—And when
'in prodigal son came home, what hap
pened, Tommy?
I ommy—His father ran to meet him
and hurt himself.
Sunday School Teacher—Why. where
did you get that?
I ommy—lt said his father ran -and
fell on his neck. 1 bet it would hurt
you to fall on your neck!
Johnson—Ah. I see the newspapers
are speaking about me again this
morning.
Simpson—lndeed! In what connec
tion”
Johnson—Well, they say that at the
< lose of last week there were’over four
millions of people in New York. 1 am
one of them.
This incident of a Judge s rebuke is
related in the case of a lawyer of the
aggressive and belligerent class. When
'he latter concluded a speech of great
length, delivered in a particularly loud
voice, the judge quietly remarked that
had a few observations to make to
the jury “now that the uproar in court
has subsided.”
I he Preacher— We never realize the
full value of anything until we lose it.
The Bereaved Wife—That’s so;
especially if the lost thing is insured.
