Sanitary Item.

A young gentleman, accompanied by a friend, sat at a table in a New York concert hall, enjoying a cigar and toddy. The young man nodded to the waiter, and, on the menial appearing, asked him: “Ish’t that Dr. Smith, over there in the corner ?” “Yes, sir.” “How many drinks has he had this evening?” “Six, sir.” “How many cigars has he smoked?” “Four or five?” “Now just see what a fraud that doctor is ? It was only yesterday he told me that one cigar and a toddy was as much as any man ought to take. Another beer, waiter?”— Texas Siftings. The wife of a boarder at one of our hotels belted her husband over the head with a wash-bowl the other day. When bis friends ask him what ails his head, he mutters, “Inflammatory room-mate-ism,” and adroitly guides the con- . ve.sation into another channel.
