HUMOR OU
K.
Rich folks has er cuis way o'' bey in'
de Bible. One day er hongry feller
went ter a well fed man's house an'
say, says lie, “ 'member de po’” “Oh,
I ain't forgot yer,” says de well-fed
man, says z.e. “No, sail, I ain't forgot
yer. I’ll ailus reeolleck yer, but dat's
ail.” _
New York Sun : “My dear,” remon
strated a w ife, peering out from under
the bed clothes. “I do wish you
would use the w ord ‘shook’ It sounds
better.”
“It may sound better at times,” re
plied her husband, who was noisily
nursing his heel, “but when a man
steps on a tack he want's the old ver
sion.”
“Now, Mary,” said a father to his
daughter w ho had a lover of the nev-
cr-go-hom at-a decent-time-of-night
kind, “1 have no objection to your
bringing company to the house, but
I don’t want to see that Keely motor
beau of yours here again'; that’s
flat.”
“My what beau?”
“Your Keely motor beau.”
“Why do you call him by such a
name?”
“Because he is one of those chaps
that won't go.
Boston Transcript: He had fallen
iito the stream, and had already sunk
once and was going down a second
i ime, when a brave man leaped into
the angry waiters and laid hold of the
unfortunate one. The latter looked
at his rescuer in a beseeching manner
and gasped, “I beg, my dear sir, that
you will permit me to sink once more
—in the interest of literary tradition,
you know. No person I ever read of
was ever rescued until he was going
down the third time. I may die, but
I shall have the satisfaction of know
ing that 1 have not departed from a
time-honored and revered custom.”
What James Did.—One day a very
pious clerical friend, w r ho had consum
ed an hour of his valuable time in
small talk, said to James Harper, the
publisher: “Brother Harper, I am
curious to know how you four men
distribute the duties of the establish
ment between you.” “John”, said
Mr. Harper, good humoredly, “at-
tends to the finances, Wesley to the
correspondence, Fletcher to the gen-
- ral bargaining with authors and oth
ers. and don't you tell anybody,” he
said, drawing his chair still closer and
lowering the tone of his voice, “I en-
tertain the bores.”—Brooklyn Maga
zine.
“Can any little boy or girl tell me
why the lions would not hurt Daniel?”
said a gentleman addressing a Sun
day-school.
“1 know,' 1 said one bright little
fellow, holding up his hand.
“And what was the reason, my lit
tle man?” said the speaker, stepping
forward, with his face in a joyous
glow. “Speak up loud, so that all
may hear you; why wouldn’t the lions
bite Daniel?”
“I guess it was ’coz he b'longed to
the circus.”
The sedateness of the occasion was
interrupted.—Chicago Ledger.
Boston Courier: First Impecunious
Individual—Ha! glad to see you. Was
out last night and feel the need of a
strengthcner this morning. Have
been waiting impatiently for a friend
to come along. Wife went through
my pockets and didn’t leave me a
cent.
Second I. I.—Am in precisely the
same fix. What's to be done ?
First I. I.—I ain sure I don't know.
I am not known in this neighborhood,
or 1 might be able to obtain tempora
ry credit and set 'em up.
Second I. I.—I am known in this
neignborhood, or I might obtain tem-
pory credit and set ’em up.
They separate.
Boston Courier: Texas Lady (after
a short journey on the railroad)—
“Why, John, they’ve got a new con
ductor on the cars, and he's a Boston
man.”
Texas Gent—“How d’ye know lie’s
a Boston man?”
T. L. (withagurgle of delight) “Why,
when he came round for my fare he
lifted his cap and said, ‘Excuse me,
madam, but I would esteem it a favor
if you would kindly oblige me with
your ticket.’ So different from the
oid way of ‘Chuck me your paste
board.'* I’ll never ride with any other
conductor after this.
T. G. (mentally)—’’That fellow'll be
having all the woman running after
him. He'll have to be shot.
A Generous Guest.
“Did you see anything of a pocket-
book that I dropped somewhere in the
bed-room 1 occupied last night, land
lord?'’ “Any money in in it?” “About
$500.” “Yes, sir. Here is your pock-
etbook, with the money. The maid
was honest enough to bring it to me,
and 1 locked it up in the safe." “Ah!
very correct proceeding—very. I had
intended placing the money in a
savings bank this morning, where it
would have been drawing 4 per cent.
As a reward for your honesty I will
say nothing about the interest for the
time it has been in your possession,
and you can make it square with the
chambermaid. There is nothing
small about me when I run across a
man who seems to be trying to do
what’s right.”
A Level-headed Girl.
“Say that you will be mine, dearest
Angelina.”
“1 Avill, upon one condition.*’
“Name it, my adored, and if it were
to get you the moon—”
“It is easier than that; in brief,
simply this: that you will invite me to
spend a month in your father's house
previous to our marriage.”
“Of course, certainly; but why
make such a strange request?”
“Well, I wish to learn to cook like
vour mother.”

“And so you have received a divor
ce from that vagabond husband of
yours, Mrs. Smith?”
“Yes, I am glad to say that I

“Didn’t you feel quite overpowered

“Not exactly. I felt sort of unman
