The Woods Are Full of Them.

Claude Yerdi Leslye (the family spelled it Leslie when the old man ran a meat-market) was calling on a young lady one evening, and the conversation turned to the heroic action of Charley Philbrick in rescuing Lulu Jarby from drowning while boating at Greenwood Lake. “If you and I were out sailing, and I should fall overboard, what would you do ?” asked the young lady. “Aw, now, weally! Mygiacious! I weally think I should faint, don cher know. ” Then he was told that his mamma wanted him, and the silly thing went right home.— Brooklyn Times.
