"How can I go anywhere for the summer? I have no clothes." "That’s just the point. Tou can wear old clothes at Chigger farm. Old clothes are the thing." "Old clothes are the thins, eh? Then for once In my life I can make a splurge. If old clothes are the thing I’ll take along seven trunks of the oldest duds In the state." Another Hope Blasted. "Life la Juat one blamed disappoint ment after another." "What’a the matter now?" "I had all arrangements made for a trip through the Yellowatone Park.* "Can’t you go?” **Yee, but my wife's finally made up her mind that she will go along. She thought at first It would be too hard A trip for her." Well, Hardly. Bill—l aee New Jersey’s legislature recently provided for the appointment Of three experts in each of the state’s tl counties, to exterminate mob qultoe.

Can't Get Away. *1 aee that Holder isn’t one of your bank’s most reliable and entirely trusted. "Why ior "He’i been at his desk thirty years. I notice that It’s always the trusted and reliable that go away to Canada." —Browning’s Magazine. Deliberately Avoided. “Why didn’t you have more bar* mony In your convention?’’ "We were afraid,’’ replied Senator Sorghum, "that we might be consid ered capable of entering into one o! these ‘gentlemen’s agreements’ that have fallen under so much popular suspicion." Out of Sight. v« vJT oiyni. "How do you like that lot you bought In Blnglehurat?" “I haven’t seen it yet." “Why, I thought you had been out there several times?" “So I have, but the blamed thing li •till under water."
