Stories the World
Meets With Smiles
JOHN, whose father was a baker,
was in the habit of bringing his
teacher a fresh pretzel each day.
"I wish you would tell your father
not to make them quite so salty,"
she once said, laughingly.
Thereafter, the shiny, brown deli
cacy always minus the salt was
found frequently on her desk. "It is
very kind of your father to make one
on purpose for me," she told him.
"Oh!" was the startling reply. "He
don't make them this way. I lick
the salt off!''
The Way She Would Learn.
Willie and Tommy are two Michi
gan youngsters who are pugilistic
ally inclined. The other day the fol
lowing conversation took place be
tween them:
"Aw," said Willie, tauntingly,
"you're afraid f fight that's wat it
is."
"Naw, I ain't," protested Tommy,
stoutly, "but if I fight my ma'll find
It out and lick me."
"How'll she find it out, eh?"
"She'll see the doctor goin' t' your
house."
Susie's Latin.
"fv Hnnirhtor Snslfi la eettlne
quite an excellent Latin scholar,"
said the proud father to a visitor.
"Here is one of her exercise books,
and you can look for yourself."
Susie blushed scarlet and made a
wild grab at the book. She was too
late, and ihe delighted visitor read
aloud to the company:
"Boyibus kissibus
Sweet girliorumj
GIrllbus liklbus,
Want! somorum."
The Point of View.
In the Great Western Railway car
riage, on the way up to London, a
youth had disturbed and annoyed the
other passengers by loud and foolish
remarks during a great part of the
Journey. As the train passed Howell
Lunatic Asylum he remarked:
"I often think how nice the asylum
looks from the railway."
"Some day," growled an old gen
tleman, "you will probably have oc
casion to remark now nice we rail
way looks from the asylum."
Wanted to Know.
The editor of the Evening Star was
deeply engrossed in his work when
he was suddenly interrupted by the
office boy, who remarked:
"There's a tramp at the door, Mr.
Hyde, and he says he ain't had
nothin' to eat for six days."
"Fetch him in," said the editor.
"If we can find out how he does it,
we can run the paper for another
week."
Domestic Economy.
Somebody said to Jamie MacJames
one day:
"I trust you don't spend all your
wages?"
"That I don't," Jamie replied. "I
only spend two-thirds. Two-thirds ,is
all."
"And the other third you bank
that, I suppose?"
"No, I do better than that with it.
I give it to the wife to run the house."
All Foreigners.
Two natives of the Emerald Isle
were discussing, with evident irrita
tion, the immigration problem.
"Thlm furriners Is gettln' an awful
hold in this counthry," said Tim.
"Thru for yez," answered the
other, as he transferred his corncob
pipe to the other side of his mouth.
"I wuz readln' over last evenln' the
list av mln naturalized, an' ivery wan
av them was furrln!"
