“TIMES IS CHANGED.”

Adonfram Corntop Notes a -Differ- 1 ence Since His- Courtin’ Days. “Yes, siree, Bill; times is changed Bince you an’ me was doin’ our courtin’,” said Adoniram Corntop, with a note of sadness in his voice, to old Andy Clover, who had come over to “set a spell.” “When we was doin’ oqr courtin', Andy, a gal thought she was bein’ treated right harnsom if a feller bought her ten cents wuth o’ pep’mints once in awhile, an’ if he tuk her to any doin’s in town she didn’t expect him to go down Into his jeans to the tune of a dollar or two for ice cream an’ soda water an’ candy at fo’ty cents a paound. My son Si» tuk his ducksy-daddle to the band concert in town yistiday an’ there wa’n’t a quarter left of a dollar bill he struck me fer time he got home. Beats all the way young foiks throw the money away nowadays. I tell ye times is changed mightily since we were boys, an’ Lawd only knows what the end will he with a feller layin’ out seventy-five cents on a gaj In one day!”

Family Discords.

A New York scientist, the father of a large and growing family,' has his troubles. One evening hie ’’youngest was holding forth in her best style. The mother could do nothing with the child, so the man of science went to the rescue. “I think I can quiet little Flora/ he said. ‘There’s no use humming to her in that silly way. What she wants is real music. The fact that I used to sing in the glee club at Yale and sin£ well, too, may make a difference.” Accordingly, the professor took the child, and striding up and down the room, sang in his best manner. He had not finished the second verse of h% song when a ring was heard. The door was opened, and there stood a girl of fourteen, who said: “I’m one of the family that’s just moved into the flat next to yours. There’s a sick person with us, and he says, if it’s all the same to you, would you mind letting the baby cry Instead of singing to it?”

Four Hours of Sleep Not Enough.

Mr. Thomas Edison says that four hours of sleep is enough for any one, and that it is a waste of time to take any more. So long, Thomas; talk about something you are better qualified to discuss. Is your own health so wonderfully steady as to entitle your rules for living to be generally accepted? Wasn’t it you who had a mastoid abscess the other day? You are olily sixty-one years old. Any one with decent luck can live that, long, notwithstanding some abuse of natural strength. When you are ninety and still hale your habits of life will become interesting. Do you want people to sit up half the night to use your patent lamps and increase your royalties ? Tut, tut Thomas don’t be so greedy.

The Retort Courteous.

The fresh-complexioned, merryeyed maid of the farm was showing the town visitor over the pretty or- “ Tills tree, now,” he said, stopping before a fine specimen, “seems to be fairly loaded with apples.” “Yes, sir,” assented the maid. “This is a good year for apples.” “I am glad to hear that,” said the visitor. “And are all your trees as full of apples as this one?” "Oh, no, sir!” explained the girl. “Only the apple trees!”

IN THE FAR WEST.

Tuff —New Sheriff got three horse thieves last night. Dull —Yas, he’ll son be getting the hang o’ the business.

A Mean Retort.

“Tes.” said the eminent physician, “we are doing much to prolong human life.” “I am glad to hear It,” answered Mr. Sirius'Barker. “By prolonging life you give a man more time and opportunity to get together the amount of your bill.”

Deceitful.

“I admire patience an’ self-con-trol,” said Uncle Eben, ‘‘but I see a man dat kin keep on amilin* after he done bruise his thumb with a hammer. I can’t help bein’ s’picious of his capacity fob deceit.”

A Foolish Question.

spectator—-Bub, which one <A those men working on that excavation is-the boss? ’ Water Boy—Aw, can’t youse see they’re all Irishmen?

A Delight.

She (indignantly)—You had BS business to kiss me! He —But II wasn’t business, it was pleasure.

CHURCH BUREAU A MARRIAGE ADJUNCT

Kansas City Catholic Church Has Brought 400 Couples Together Since Plan Was Adopted. A year ago Father W. J. Dalton, of the Church of the Annunciation of Kansas City, decided that there were many worthy people who would like to be married if they could he agreeably mated. He decided to establish a matrimonial bureau and did so at once. During the year 17,000 letters were received from persons willing to be mated. Four hundred weddings resulted. Eighty-five per cent of the letters were from women. Many of them were in quest of wealthy husbands. The men wanted good housekeepers. Letters were received from Jerusalem, Constantinople, Africa and South America and from nearly every state in the union. Father Dalton kept two stenographers busy answering letters. He undertook to put the writer into communication with some persons in his or her section of the country. The plan grew out of a gathering of unmarried people in the priestTs parlor. Father Dalton decided 1 that there were too many unmarried people in his parlor and that the same condition existed all over the country. He believes that all marriages that have occurred are to be happy ones.

The Canny Scot. For once the American had discovered something British that was better than anything they could produce “across the pond." His discovery was a fine ccilie dog, and he at once tried to induce its owner, an old shepherd, to sell it, “Wad ye be takin* him to America?” inquired the old Scot. “Yes, I guess so," said the Yankee. “I thocht as muckie,” Bald the shepherd. “I couldna pairt wi’ Jock.” But, while they sat and chatted, an English tourist came up, and to him the shepherd sold the rollie for much less than the American had offered. “You told me you wouldnt sell him,” said the Yankee, when the purchaser had departed. “Na,” replied the Scot; “I said I couldna’ pairt wi’ him. Jock’ll be back in a day or so, but he couldna’ swim the Atlantic.”

All He Left.

A man from Kansas City recently wrote to a lawyer in another town of the state asking for information touching the 'standing of a person there, who had owed the Kansas City individual a considerable sum of money for a long time, “What property has he that I can attach?” was one of the questions asked. The lawyer’s reply was one to the point. “The person to whom you refer,” he wrote, “died a year ago. He has left nothing subject to attachment except a widow.”

What Central Heard.

“Hello!” “Hello!” “Is that you, Henry?” "Yes.” * “Will It he possible, do you think, for you to come home a little earlier than usual this afternoon? I wish to ” “Say, is Mrs. Highmore callin'! ■m you?” - “Yes. How do you know?” “You’re using your company dialect and articulation on me.”

Business!

A Paris shopkeeper wrote to one of his customers as follows: “I am able to offer you cloth like the enclosed sample at nine francs the meter. In case I do not hear from you I shall conclude that you wish to pay only eight francs. In order to lose no time, I accept the last mentioned price.”

The Unexpected.

Infant Terrible (watching Uncle Jack’s fiancee dossing her hair) — How qreerly you do your hair? "How so?” “Why, Aunt Jane pins hers to her lap, mummie hol-’s hers in her tees, but you leave yours sticking to yoai head.”

Memorized.

Instructor —-Mr. Smith, kindly name the bones of the skull. Student Smith—Well, sir, I*WB got then all in my head, but I can’t think o' the)r names just now.
