A hint for bankers: Why not start a commencement present fund. « » * • If reporters told the truth: Mrs. I Blinks read the paper at the club the I other day instead of Mrs. Starr, who ' had her teeth out.” • • • • It is amusing to note 'the unconscious forms of humor in papers. One j paper in telling of a sudden death | had for its" heading, "Killed While at i Work.” Another stated that a death 1 occurred just after the assessor had ■ left. But there was nothing in either to show the relation of cause and effect. * » « • If animals can talk, as scientists j claim, why don’t flies that get : caught, warn others of the sticky fly ! paper? Or are they juat as spiteful as women? asked Ole Miss Lickticut, who has soured on the world. * * « * “Dr. Matthews of Seattle,” says Ole Miss Lickticut, who has lost confidence in the world, "is evidently in favor of race suicide. He says he would prohibit liars from marrying?’ * * * * Some people are so contrary they will do just tbe opposite of what they have made up their minds to do. . « * * * A “rising young lawyer” will surely 1 get to heaven some time, if he keep . on long enough. * * * * Uncle Hezekiah says Ole Mr. Blinks is so stingy he wears glasses to make a nickel look bigger and closer. « * * * It’s a man of great tact who pretends to be surprised at a surprise party when he isn't. '** » • It’s always easy to get “news.” If i people have anything good abas t hemselves, they tell it thqmsel vts ; if there is anything bad, other peo pie tell it. * * * * When you get things down to a fine point, said Ole Miss Lickticut, in the discussioif of public drinking cups, from which lap dogs had been allowed | to drink, I would as soon drink after ;ome dogs as I would some men. » » » ♦ Ole Miss Simmons, who always THERMOMETER DROPS.
