Small Boy — Yes, miss; the station-house. Dedicated to Mr. Will Henderson A Western chain store advertised as follows: "Apples, oranges, imported nuts, fruit-cake. Come in now and avoid the rush. The early bird gets the worm." Little Jane was severely reprimanded by her mother for saying "Devil." The following Sunday, when the little miss returned from Sunday school, her mother said: "What was the lesson about to-day?" "Why, mother," said Jane, "it was about our Lord being tempted by — by — by — the gentleman that keeps hell."

She Waxed Petulant. — A young lady entered the stationery store and asked for a pound tin of floor-wax. "I'm sorry, miss," said the clerk; "all we carry is sealing-wax." "Don Y be silly," she snapped. "Who'd want to wax a ceiling?" — Boston Transcript. The Translation. — "Brederen, we must do something to remedy de status quo," said a negro preacher to his congregation. "Brudder, what am de status quo?" asked a member. "Dat, my brudder," replied the preacher, "am de Latin for de mess we'se in." Not That Kind. — Johnnie — I got Greece on the radio last night! Mother — Well, wipe it off before your father sees it! Not for Him. — Growler — I didn't sleep a wink all night. I had an awful toothache. James — Ah! you should try repeating to yourself fifty times every day, "Get behind me, pain!" Growler — Not much! Do you think I want lumbago?— Answers (London). True to Form. — The tired radio announcer came home after a long day in the studio. The family gathered for dinner. The tired radio announcer bowed his head to ask the blessing and all was quiet. "This is Mr. Jones speaking," he began. Corn-fed. — Billy — What did you do with the blonde you had'out last night?
