spectacle Knickerbocker, on the shady side
OF fifty, widower with five children; full of
fun and froc, ever ready for joke, to give
or take, was bantered one evening BY a miss
OF five and twenty for not taking wife. She
urged That he was hale and hearty, and de-
served, a matrimonial messmate He ack
nowledged the fact admitted that he was
convinced by the eloquence of his fair friend
that he had been thus far remiss, and ex-
pressed contriiion for the fault confessed;
ended with offering himself to the lady, tell.
ing her she could not certainly reject him
after pointing out his heinous offense.
The lady replied that she would be most
happy to take the situation advertised and
become bone of his bone and flesh of bis

stacle.
"Well," said the Judge, name it. My pro
fession is to surmount Obstacles"
"Ah, Judge, this is beyond your powers

must have ten children"
Ten children! Oh, that's nothing" said

sons losing themselves IN the forest, or

this Is found probably 10 the fact that
the limbs aud muscles of the right side

Of the left side. Shoemakers say that,
as a general thing, the right foot is
somewhat larger than the left, aud that
