HUMOROUS.
New York Sun: “John,” inquired
the counsel of the witness, at the
same time casting a facetious glance
at the jury, “when you Chinamen
take your celestial oath in court, what
is done with the chicken after its head
is cut off?” . „ .. ,
“Some lawyee glet him, replied the
witness.
Philadelphia Call: First Anarchist
—“Property is robbery. It is a glar
ing injustice for one man to haye a
million and another man nothing.”
Second Anarchist—“True. Every
body ought to have $1,000_ and no
more.” First Anarchist—“No, no. I
put the figure at $10,000, because that
is what I am worth. Hang it, man,
you wouldn’t want to make beggars
of us would you?”
Plattsmouth Journal: A supersti
tious subscriber, wno found a spider
in his paper, wants to know if it is
considered a bad omen. Nothing of
the kind. The spider was merely
looking over the columns of the paper
to see what merchant was not adver
tising, so that it could spin across his
store door and be free from distur
bance.
Brooklyn Eagle: Three weeks ago
an Indiana man taught his dog, a very
finely bred, well-behaved setter, to
chew tobacco. Now the dog comes
into the house by the back door, nev
er scrapes his feet on the mat, never
goes to church, is careless at his meals,
gets burrs in his tail, goes with a low-
er grade of dogs, and it is feared that
he is beginning to take an interest in
politics.
Wall-street News: On the 1st instant
an engineer employed in a Wisconsin
saw-mlil announced to his boss the
time had come for him to strike. Ev
erybody else was striking and he
could not be left out in the cold.
“Ho you want more pay!” asked the
boss.
“No: the pay is all right.”
“Want shorter hours?”
“No; the hours are all right?”
“Then, what do you want?”
“I want to go fishing this* afternoon
without having my pay docked. I'll
be on hand again in tlie morning.”
He was told to go, and the “strike”
was amicably adjusted on that basis.
Boston Record: Now that you've
got your 10 per cent, increase, John,
you must be more liberal with your
allowances for household expenses. I
want a new tea-kettle, and the wash-
boiler needs—”
“Can’t afford it, Mollie; I'm only
making living wages now, and you
must wait until I can declare a divi
dend.”
“Then you refuse to arbitrate?”
“There’s nothing to arbitrate?” I
can’t—■”
“Very well! I shall order a strike at
once. The kitchen fire shall be
drawn this noon, and if you dare to
bring another woman into this house,
to cook as much as a kettle of mush,
I’ll smash the cook stove to smithe
reens. Come, children, we must boy
cott your father immediately.”
