PERHAPS AN ERROR

The Old .Man Tried to Explain M Away to His Satisfaction. "Uh-huhl Yo* is, is yo’?" pessimis tically inquired good old Brothoi Brownback. “Yes, sahl” pompously replied the semi-educated young colored man. "1 am called by the Lord to preach tht Gospel to a sin-sick and waiting world!" "Hum-m-m! Dat mo tight be de case and den ag’in it moughtn'L Fum what I knows of yo* general debility, sah, I’s sawtuh declined to s'picion dat dai am a deflection in yo' speciflcar Goa. Mebby yo* is called by de Lawd, like yo* ’lows yo’ is; and ag'in, it’s bar'ly possible dat dar am suthln’ re* dlcuiously wrong wld yo’ bearin’ or else de Lawd done made a mistake and got the names mixed.” —Puck.

He Lasted Well.

They were in the family portrait section of the gallery, uud it seemed to Miss Gollghtly that her English visitor was deeply Impressed. "Yes, these are all 'my ancestors." she said, proudly. “Now, this is my great-great-grandfather, when Jte was u young man, of course. /Isn’t tie handsome? My grandfather used to tell my mother that his grandfather—that's this one —was a splendid looking man as long as he lived, and as popular with women as with men because he was such a hero. “Brave? I guess he was! Why, he never fought in a battle that he didn't lose an arm of a leg or something, from being right in front of everybody. He was in twenty-three engagements!” —Youth’s Companion.

POLITICAL LAURELS.

Tommy (aged 7) —Say, pop, what makes a politician great? Mr. Wise—Death.

And Still She Isn’t Satisfied.

“What’s Maude crying about now?" “Oh, she asked her husband if he would marry again in case she died, and he declared that fee wouldn’t.” “Well, nothing wrong, about that.” “No; but you should have heard him say It.” —Louisville Courier-Jour-nal.

The Time to Climb.

r Climb the ladder of fante while you are young. Not only is your wind better and your avoirdupois less then, but people are not so likely to make Irritating remarks about your making a monkey of yourself.—Puck.

What She Desires.

“It may not be your intention," remarked Miss Gaddle, "but doesn’t it occur to you that your treatment of me is rather calculated to make us bad friends?" "No,” replied Mias Kandor, coolly. 1 had an idea It would make us good enemies." —Philadelphia Press.

Deeply Ingrained.

"What kind of a man is old Wheericks?” asked the newcomer. “Wheeslcks?" said the other. “He's the contrariest, most selfish old wretch that ever lived. When one of bls teeth aches there’s not another tooth in his mouth that sympathizes with IL" —Chicago Tribune.

THE BISHOP AND THE DRUGGIST

To the Young Man’s Disappointment the Joke Was on Him. One day a bishop chanced into the shop of a druggist who was very fond, of a joke—on somebody else. The druggist, wishing to have a joke at the bishop's expense, asked: "Bishop, can you ten me the difference between an ass and a bishop?" ’ The bishop could not , .-"Well," said the druggist, smiling all over, “an ass carries its cross (burden) upon its back, but a bishop carries his cross (of gold) on his breast" . “Very good," replied the bishop, and then continued: "Now then, my friend, can you tell me the difference between an ass and a druggist?" After some hesitation the druggist answered: “No, sir, I can’t" . “Neither can I," retorted the bishop as he walked out

Poet and Fool.

This story of Alexis Piron, the French poet and epigrammist, is told by the writer of "French Men of Letters.” Piron was unfortunate enough to be arrested one night by a watchdan m the streets of Paris, apd was taken the following morning before the lleutenmt of police, who haughtily interrogated him concerning his business or profession. “I am a poet,” was the reply. “Oh, Ho! a poet, are you?” said the official. “I have a brother who is a poet.” “Then we are quits,” rejoined Piron, “for I have a brother who is a fool.” —King.

They Had Theirs Off.

Little Sue Brt>wn was allowed to stand on the staircase and feast her eyes on the beautifully dressed decollete ladies at her mother’s party. Presently she beckoned to her mother and anxiously whispered: “Mother, may 1 take off my guimpe?”

“Mercy, no." said her mother; "it is the middle of winter, and you would take your death of cold.” “Well," said Sue regretfully, "look there; Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Smith have theirs off.” —Exchange.

A Sure Thing.

A doctor who posed as something of a wit was passing a stone-cutter’s yard, when he stopped to speak to the proprietor, who was at work on a tombstone.

“Ah," said the doctor, “I suppose when you hear some one is ill you get ready for contingencies; though, of course, I suppose, you never go beyond the words, ‘ln memory of’ ” “Well, that all depends,” was the response. “If you be a-docloring of the patient I goes right on." —Harper’s Weekly.

His Excuse.

“Here, waiter, there’s a cockroach In this soup,” angrily exclaimed the customer in the restaurant. “That'a the one great trouble with this restaurant,” said the waiter as he carefully removed the cockroach. “The cook makes such good soup that everything goes after it”—Milwaukee Sentinel.

What Indeed?

Young Thorne (to his ideal) —And Itour name is Rose? What u sweet name Rose is! Rose —I am glad you like it. But — tmt —but 1 do not want to be a rose Without a Thorne. What could a fellow say after that?

Why, Certainly.

Mercv—l would never marry a man ( did not love. Maude —But suppose a real wealthy caan should propose? Mercy—l should love him. of course.
