They are the sour-faced women you meet on the street. At a dance the other night a young lady called her beau an Indian be cause he was on her trail a good deal of the time. Be careful what you advertise. A Lexington merchant advertised Free Stone Peaches for sale. A lady came In a few days later and Inquired for some of the peaches he had advertis ed free of stones.

Here Is a new Swede story; The doctor had been called to take charge of a new Infant. Looking scrutinizing ly at the infant, the doctor said;"Hans what s the matter with the child, it's a skinny little thing, ?nd you are a big, stout man, and your wife a large healthy woman?"
