SO without further hesitation Rapidly up the stairs they made ascension, At the door received a warm reception By the father of the girls in question. After receiving many an introduction And enjoying the pleasures of an hour's duration, They were amazed to find Miss E. failed to grace the occasion. They straightway went to the host for an explanation. Imagine their feeling of humiliation, Queer sensation, and utter consternation When they were granted the information That they were in the wrong habitation! Impossible. Boldemann-Say, Fred, lend me a dollar. Honest, I'll give it back. If I live until Saturday I'll pay you then. Gibbons-Nix, couldn't do it. You couldn't live until Saturday on a dollar. There are some tides in the affairs of men which taken at the flood lead on to destruction.-EX. E, L.-You know May Brown has a glorious lot of silver. Did you notice it at the party last night? R. M.-Yes, I found a lot of forks left over when I got through. She certainly likes to let one know she has abundance. E. L.-Nonsense. You ate your fish, meat and salad with one fork. First Convict-They say it took Milton fifteen days to write one page of a book. Second Convict-That's nothing! I've been on one sentence six years, and I'm not through yet. ' Peterson-Do you know that Mr. Bliss can play music on the tuning board. New Scrub-Is he the music teacher? , Shy on Both. The golden eagle is very rare, isn't it ? But I don't find it any more so than the ten-dollar bill.
