The other day, a young lady in
the Navy Yard was terribly; shock?
ed by her own foolish mistake.
Being sent for some flour to Harry
Comb*?* store in a hurrv. she took
what she supposed to be a clean
pillow-slip from the bureau-drawer.
When she bounced into the store,
smiling like a basket of chips, she
handed the thing to Harry to fill
with flour. He didn't notice what
"they" were till a scoop of flour
had gone, through them. "When he
raised them up and exposed the
two outlets at the bottom, nicely
fringed, etc., the young lady ran
down toward the tunnel, without
saying a word, and poor Harry,
covered with flour, laid the gar?
ment in the money-drawer, to
await her return. At a late hour
last evening nobody had called for
the flouiv ^and Harry engaged a
seamtress to sew up tho bottoms |
and make a salt-sack out of 'cm.
[Washington Chronicle.
Bald-headed men are only living |
a little in advance of their time.
According to Darwin, we are in?
debted to our frisky ancestor, the
ape, for pur hair, and men with'
beards and prolific scalps have no
reason to feel that they are parti?
cularly superior to their less lovely
fellow-men. It may be extinction
to the barber business, and a blow
to human vanity, but the coming
man is to be bald-headed.
An Irishman with a heavy bun?
dle on his shoulders riding on the
front of a horse-car, was asked why
lie did not set his bundle on the
platform. He replied: "Bo jabbers,
the horse hove enough to drag me.
I'll carry the bundle.
A printer out West, whose office
is two miles from any other build?
ing, and who hangs Iiis sign on the
limb of a tree, advertises for a boy.
He says, "a boy from the countoy j
preferred."
,A newspaper biographer, trying
to say his subject "was hardly able
to bear the demise of his wife,"
was made by the inexorable printer
to say, "wear the chemise of his
wife."
A Green Bay mother won't leave j
the room when Sarah's beau calls,
and Sarah's beau makes a remark
or two about navigation, slides
along to his hat, says it's nice wea?
ther and creeps out.
A pious man who can drive a
balky horse ten miles, without be?
ing set back ten years in his re?
ligion, is ripe enough for a better |
world. f
A man in Lancaster, N. H., has
a trout in his cistern that is so
tame that it wilt eat from a per?
son's hand.
The more a man's purse weighs,
the more persuasive is his- elo?
quence.
Long-haired men are no longer
trustworthy?so says.Brooklyn. -.
The contented man is never poor,
the discontented never rich.
