A Point in Euchre.

“I met two nice gentlemen on the car yesterday,” said Miss Esmeralda Longcoffln, to Dudley Canesucker. “What did they say?” “They didn’t say anything. There was one on my right and one on my left. When I got up to get off the car they bowed.” “They bowed, did they? Well, they are rascals.” “How do you know? You didn’t see them.” “I know that right and left bowers are knaves.” —Arkansaw Traveler. Ms. R. L. Garner, the distinguished scientist who has learned monkey talk and can do monkey business, so to speak, with anything from a chimpanzee to a capuchin, says that the monkeys employ very feW words and husband them in such a manner as to make the most of them. This would seem to indicate that Mr. Darwin is right; that man is indeed descended from the monkey and that the descent is an all-fired lopg and steep one. No matter what you are, try to be above the average. If you are a cook, learn to cook better than the average. If you are a wood sawyer, saw more wood than any other man. So many men and women are content with doing as well as the average that vou will help yourself and the world a great deal if you make it your ambition to do a little better.
