THE HoNKHT I.AWYKII.
There ia an old story of a lawyer
named Strang and hi wife hav
ing a conference a to the thing
he wished ''one after he had oV
parted thii life.
'I want a headstone put over m.
my dear," said th lawyer, "with
the simple insciiplion "Here lies
an honest lawyer."
The wife exprefH"!! surprise that
he did not wish hi name put on
the headstone.
"It will not be needful," he re
sponded, "for those who pass by
and re.cl that inscription will in
variably remark, "That's Strange."
TIIK T'TAI. AH8TAINEH.
A temperance lecturer waa caught
by a disciple after he retired taking
a hot whiskey punch. Said his
shocked follower:
' I thought you were a total ab
stuiner?" ' So I am," said the lecturery'but
not a bigoted one."
tub iiist mortem.
There is a friend of mine living
in Peekskill who had all the ills
iWh was heir t , and he took pills
and powders and pills without
result. So he called in my old
family doctor, Dr. Bassett. The
doctor looked at his tongue, lifted
up Ills eyelids and looked at his
eyes and shook his head.
"How do you diagnose my case
doctor?" anxiously inquired the
patient
"Well." said the doctor slowly
"I cant tell exactly what's the mat
ter with you. but the post mortem
will show."
TIIK 15H1PK AND THK Bl'TTEB
A friend of mine stopping re
centlv at a Washington hotel sat
by a bride who had been a widow
and on her first wedding journey
had stayed at the same inn.
She said: "John, pass me the
butter."
The bridegroom indignantly re
plied: "My name is not John,, it
is Charles."
She said: "Excuse my mistake,
Charles," and then, tasting the
butter, she said reflectively, "but
the same butter."
DEMAND AND SUPPLY
Demand and supply don't always
govern prices. business tact
s imetimes govern them. The other
lay I stepped up to a German
butcher out of curiosity asked,
"What's the price of sausages?"
"Dwenty ceuts a pount," he said.
"You asked twenty-five this
morning," I reminded him.
"Ya, dot was ven I had some.
Now I ain't got some I sell him for
dwenty cents. Dot makes me rep
utation for selling cheap and I
don't lose noddings."
You see, I didn't want any sau
sages, and the man didn't have any
no demand, no supply yet the
prices of sausages went down.
THE VETERAN OF BULL RUN.
One day not long ago I met a
soldier who had been wounded in
the face. He was a Union man,
and I asked him in which battle he
had bee ii injured.
"In the last battle of Bull Run,
if," he replied.
"But how couldl you get hit in
the face at Bull Run?" I asked.
"Well, sir," said the man half
apolegclically, "after I had run a
mile or two I got careless and look
ed back."
THE WIDOW.
While in Peekskill I went to call
on two old friends, a widow and a
maiden lady.
Said the widow:
"Well, I married when I was
quite young. My husband died
and I had him cremated. In about
two years I married again; he died
and I bad him cremated. I mar
ried a third time and lived to cre
mate him."
"Ah," answered the maiden lady,
"wonderful are the ways of Provi
dence. Here I've lived all these
rears and haye never been able to
get married to one man, and you've
had husbands to burn."
TllJi REMINDER.
They tell the story of a senator
being shaved by an aged colored
barber at the Arlington hotel in
Washington and remarking to him,
"Uncle, you must have bad ainoDg
your customers many of my dis
tinguished predecessors in the sen
ate many of the men now dead
who have occupied the place I now
fill."'
''Yes, sah," said the barber;
"Use known most al of them. By
the way, Senator, you remind me
of Daniel Webster."
The gratified statesman raised
himself in his chair and placed his
hand opon his forhead. "Is it my
brow?"
"N'o, boss," said the barber; ''it
is your breath.'
TH1& AUTOGRAPH.
,1 went to a hotel in Georgia and
said to the clerk:
"Where shall f autograph?"
'Autograph?" said the clerk.
"Yes; sign my name, you know.''
. "Oh, right here." I signed my
name in the register. In a little
while in came some Georgia crack-
era. Une ot them advanced to tne
desk.
"Will you autograph?" asked
the clerk, with a smile.
Crtainly," said the Georgia
cracker beaming. "Mine's rye.
What's yours, fellows?"
THE BOY AND THE WOODCHUCK.
The teacher of the district school
up at Peekskill calbxl up the two
biggest boys in his clar-s one day
and said:
"Tom, you are a Rej ublican?"
"Yes, si ."
And, Sam, you are a Democrat?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, now, the one of you who
can give me the best reason why re
belongs to his party can have this
woodchuck I caught on my way to
school this morning. Now, Tom,
why are you a Republican?"
"I am a Republican," said the
boy, "because the Republican party
saved the country in this war,
abolished slavery and brought
about the resumption of specie pay
ments, and has done everything for
the good of the country."
"That is a good reason," said the
teacher "Now, what is Jhe reason
you are a Democrat, Sam?"
"Well, sir." was the reply, "I
am a Democrat because T want the
woodchuck."
That ice cream soda is ready for
you at Wagoner's.
