Putting Him Wise.

A small boy was seated in the parlor with his sister’s young man. - Being of an Inquiring mind, he asked Mr. Gaysmith, "Do you weigh very much?" “About 150 pounds, my little man," the hopeful lover responded. “Do you think sister could lift you?" the boy continued. “Oh. goodness, no,” said the young man, blushing at the mere thought, “but why do you ask?” “I don't believe she can, either, but I heard her tell ma this morning that she was going to throw you over as soon as she could.” —Weekly Telegraph.
