We’ve been in many cities Ami sailed from many docks. But never found a bootblack Who did not daub our socks. Youngstown Telegram. We’ve in many cities And sailed on many ships, But never found a waiter Who would refuse our tips. —Houston Daily Post We've been in many cities And sailed to many lands. But never found a youngster Who liked to wash his hands. —Baltimore News.

"You haven't seen my engagement ring yet, have you?" "I don’t know. dear. Who’s the man?" —St. Louis Globe Democrat. Crowning Insult. Sometimes one can hurt another's feelings worse by a slight action than by any number of words. There is an example of this in the young married woman who went home to her mother and sobbingly declared she just couldn't be happy with her busband again. . ' - "I wouldn't have minded it so much, mother," she sobbed, "if Charlie bad. answered me back when I scolded him. bu—hu—but he did something worse!” Her mother was duly shocked at this. • « ■ “Mercy! My dear child." she ex claimed. "He strtick you, then?" "No; worse than that, mother!" and the young wife sobbed afresh. "Tell me at once!” indignantly de manded her mother. "He just yawned!”—Lippincott’s. Warned. "Here,” said the angry old financier asThe rushed into the room where his beautiful daughter and the young man had been alone together for three hours, "I don't object to your coming to see Clara, and if you want her to be your wife I may give my consent, but I'm not going to permit you to or ganize yourself into a bolding company.”—Chicago Record Herald.

“Pa has a way of ending his arguments with ma.” “That so?" “Yes. Whenever she starts to blame him for something that he has done he comes right back by reminding her of the $2 slip lost out of her pocketbook six years ago.”— Detroit Free Press.

By Way of Demonstration.

“So you are going to adopt the fashion of wearing colored wigs?” “No," replied Mrs Leedwcll. "I shall -give a party at which they are worn, merely for the sake of demon strating that they are too absurd to be come fashionable.”-Washington Star

THE FINISHING TOUCH.

In Which the Schoolroom Romancer Takes the Count. Every schoolroom has its romancer. The other day the teacher in a primary grade noticed one of her small boys sifting at his desk holding one hand tightly over his left eye. "Why, Eddie,” she said, “what is the matter?” He disclosed a badly swollen eye. “A horse kicked me,” be replied. “No. no. Eddie,” the teacher objected, “a horse didn't kick you.” “He was a wild horse.” the boy stolidly persisted. “Wlftn he kicked me he jumped over a house and ran away.” “Eddie, if a horse had kicked you in the head he would have knocked out your brains.” “Sure he would, teacher; but I was walking by th’ time mit a man. And when that horse kicked me th’ man put out his band—so—and pushed his foots back—so—and else be would have kicked my brains out, like you said, teacher.” • The teacher shook her bead. The romancer was prepared at all points. It remained for the practical boy of the class to relieve the situation. “I guess it was maybe th’ horse kicked Eddie mit his tail, teacher,” he confidently suggested. Whereupon the romancer, his castle of imagination overwhelmed by Jeering doubt, collapsed and then owned up that he had bumped his eye by a fall on the sidewalk.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Obeying Instructions.

Mrs. Archer had a new maid from Sweden, willing and vigorous, but extremely ignorant in many ways. She had never seen a refrigerator before, and her mistress, after initiating her into the mysteries, instructed her never to leave anything old or left over in the icebox, but to keep the refrig erator perfectly clean and fresh by throwing away the old things every morning. On the following morning Mrs. Archer. looking out of the- window, noticed something peculiar in the yard. Calling the maid, she said: “Hilda, what is that out in the yard, and how did it get there?" With her face beaming with pride, the Swede replied: "That bane old ice, ma’am, left over from yesterday. I t’rew it away lak you tol’ me.”—Boston Herald.

No Go.

Molly—So you really want to marry me? Cholly— I certainly do. “But what are we to live on, dear?” "Why, bread and cheese and kisses." "It won f t do, my boy. I can’t make bread, cheese gives me indigestion, and kisses make me hungry." Yonkers Statesman.

Challenged.

"Indeed,” the speaker went on, “I believe that nine women out of ten propose. As a test, I would ask all married men in the audience whose wives virtually popped the question to them to rise.” There was a subdued rustle in the auditorium, and In the dense silence that ensued could be heard sibilant feminine whispers in concert, “Justi you dare stand up!”-Philadelphla Press.

A Mean Hint.

My theory is that men are what they eat. so we should be carefql to select appropriate diet” “I’m so glad to hear that Mr. Softly. We have calf’s brains for dinner.”— Baltimore American.
