Finely Sarcastic.
Some time ago a lady went into
the library of her home, where a
servant girl was dusting an orna
mental bookcase. For awhile she
watched the maid and then crossed
the room to examine the work.
“I want to tell you, Jane,” said
the mistress, “that we are going to
have company. Mr. and Mrs. Smith
are going to call and stay for din
ner.”
“Yes, ma’am,” quietly responded
the servant girl, continuing her
work.
“And since Mr. Smith is a trifle
over six feet tall, Jane,” resumed
the mistress, “I think you had bet
ter dust the ornaments on the top
shelf.”—Philadelphia Telegraph.

A bachelor who lives in a hotel
decided to clean out his wardrobe,
the result being that the maid on
the floor got among other things a
suit of clothes which, she was sure,
her brother would be glad to wear.
A week later the bachelor asked the
maid if her brother could wear the
suit.
“Oh, 1 was just going to speak to
you about that,” said the maid. “It
had to be fixed over, and it cost me
$2.50, which I think you should pay
me.”
“No,” said the bachelor in telling
the hotel manager, “1 did not give
her the $2.50, and hereafter I shall
sell my discarded clothes to the ole
do’ man."—New York Sun.
Replied to the Thunder In Kind.
A jolly group of traveling men

the hotel lobby when another knight
of the grip arrived.
“Mighty glad to see you fellows,”
he exclaimed enthusiastically, shak

“Sorry we can’t say as much for
von,” was handed him by one of
the group. .
“Oh, you could, all right, if you’d
lie as I do,” replied the newcomer.
