782 WITH THE JOKER. SURE HE WAS IRISH. "Why do you think this man who almost drove over you was Irish?" "Because I threatened to lick him."

I fear lie was badly hurt.” “He was.” "Well, I suppose he carried some ac cident insurance?” “Not a bit of it. lie wanted to take out policy, but in view of ids busi ness the companies declined on the ground that he was an extra hazard ous risk.” “What was his business?” "He was a canvasser for an acci dent insurance company.”— Chicago Post. DEATH AND THE* DOCTOR. Death and the doctor met at the door. “Well, I’ve got him!” exclaimed Death banteringly. The doctor was furious, of course. “Oh, yes.” he cried with much heart “but you didn’t dare make a square issue of it and get him with the dis ease I was treating him for!” Hereupon Death laughed affectedly, saying nothing.—Detroit Journal.

THE MISTAKE OF IIIS LIFE. Bliffers —Wat’s wrong to-day? You look blue. Bluffers —I’ll never forgive myself. I kicked a caller out of my house last night. “Huh! I kicked many a one. Young fellow, I suppose?” “No; past middle age.” “Well, these old codgers have no business coining around sparking young girls. I kicked out one of that sort last week. “Yes. but I’ve found out that this man wasn’t after my daughter; he was after my mother-in-law.” —New York Press. A PROPER QUESTION. “And clothes,” argued the mission ary further, “are as cheap as dirt!” The tropic heathen did not conceal her misgivings. “Yes; but are they as hygienic?” fal tered this simple child of the forest. Her health was quite perfect now. and there was no telling what might not be the effect of corsets and skirls which do not hang from the shoulders, to say nothing of the veils with dots in them.—Detroit Journal. HIS EXPERIENCE. “Woman’s work is never done.” quoted the sympathetic citizen. “That’s right.” answered Mr. Meek ton earnestly. “I have observed it in Henrietta’s case. Woman’s work is never done. There is always enough of it left over to keep her husband busy from the time he gets through his dinner till lie’s so tired he has to go to bed.” —Washington Star. PROG RESSION. “Mary Prim doesn’t distribute tracts any more.” “No; I met her the other day and she smelled dreadfully of pepper mint.” “From tracts or extracts, eli?”— Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Dr. Poundtext —That was a terrible deed. sir. i hope you are sorry for it. Moonshine dim—Sorry! You bet your life I’m sorry, parson. If 1 hadn’t killed him, mebbe he’d a married the ole 'ooman. —Kansas City Independ ent. Emma—Charley asked me to many him last evening, and I had to refuse him, the dear fellow. Ella —llow did it happen? Emma —Of course I like Charley, but as to marrying him — Ella—l mean how did it happen that ho asked you? -Boston Transcript. NO ALTERNATIVE. Prison Visitor —Wasn't it rather a cold blooded tiling to and the man down while he was praying? Mountaineer—l had to do it. podner.
