Unmnnly Jokes nj the Expense OF the
Gentle Sex.
down-east paragrapher saws: whenever Q
milliner shall design bonnet which shall need
the direction, The mouth must be worn shut
with this. alLmarrisd men will rush In and buy
of it and he happy"
Whereon the Indianapolis Ne,os thus fitly
comments:
There is swarm Of Jokes Of this humanity
type always buzzing about In the press. and we
should like to see some y-killer or foO-killer at
work On them. Half OF the jokes on wives that
are deemed suitable for public delectation be-
little or maiign them. One is O witty hint that
wives talk their husbands into daily desperation
Another Is neat epigram on q wife's DISPOSE
ton to waste money on dress. A third win
slyly insinuate that q wife Is more given to
gossip than house work. There Is hardly any
phase Of wifely duty that is not the subject of
continued satire in the shape of illusions to
wifely indifference. We believe 1t is all wrong
Worse than that, 1t Ii often brutal as well as
false.
True 1t Is all joke None Of the wits mean
anything by it. But Is the hottest relation this
side OF heaven to be made the subject Of ever
lasting ridicule or disparagement without Q
It's sanctity and suitability to the
necessities Of the race? What better Is It, except
that 1t asserts or insinuates less offensive ind
deity to duty than the abOminable perversions
Of the wifely character In Congreves Mrs Fore
sight" or Wickerly's Mrs. Pinchwife?" Is every
wife an unsparing "gabble-gut?" Are all wives
wasteful or mad for dress or gossip? The Jokes
Of the press say SO In one form Of innuendo or
another.

'cm the Baltimore American.
Now the country legislator
Il .keth out his little satchel
From the closet In his bedroom.
Roileth W his extra dickey,
Extra collar, extra necktfe,
Extra cuffs, and extra slockinga
Packs them in hts little satchel,
HES him from the ancient city.
When upon his native heather
In the county where he came from,
Where the brooks go ripping Seaward,
Where the peach crop can't De trusted;
Where the SOU lSh and yellow pumpkin,
G mt lloupe and watermelon,
Grow to siZ IS SO enormous
Find their WHY into the SanctundS
Or the editors OF papers,
And are duly noticed therein
He Is everything to all men.
Here the country Legislator
Is at home among his fellows,
TO the country store he hastenS,
Sits him down upon barrel,
Where the clerk has hung the sign out:
"Cheap for cash" upon paStebOard.
Gather round him then the voters
Or the town and OF the county,
And he tells them all the story
or the session that has ended;
Tells them OF the great men gathered
In the House and In the Senate;
Tells them how he passed the dog law
And the fence law, and the gate law,
TIL they think him, too. great man,
And make up their minds that they will
Send him back to the next session.
But there Is another chapter
TO the Tale of the Adjournment:
For the country legislator,
Does not dare to tell the voters
or the county that he came from
All the story OF the session,
He Will never dare to tell them
HOW he played the game OF poker
In the hotel near the st tie House;
He will never dare to tell them
HOW he played It oil the session,
pilyed It week days, played 1t Sundays,
Played 1t with the playful members
o. the City Delegation.
He could never tell the voters
o. the county that he came from
How the lucky poker players
OF the City Delegation
Skinned him OF his scant per diem,
Won the watch he used to carry,
Then the chain and seal attachment:
Won the studs upon his ShirtfrOnt,
An nn the he ring IN, upon his finger; hin,
Sixty dollars in the city.
Would not even let him have 1t
For the Governors reception.
He could never tell the voters
OF the county that he came from
How the lucky poker players
or the City Delegation
Won mortgage on his farm lands
On his sheep and on his horses.
On his cows and on the peach crop
Oh, ye country legislators,
Take warning from this StOry.
Never try the game OF poker
With the lucky poker players
or the City Delegation.

The Legal Length Of a Lecture.

Archibald Forbes describes in the May Century,
how he came to be sued by q Welsh local agent for
breaking an engagement to lecture. The lecturer
had only an hour and half to devote to the audi
ence. owing to the necessity OF catching train for
London. As the agent insisted on a preliminary
speech Of Introduction, ETC.. Mr. Forbes refused to
lecture. and was nearly mobbed at the depot The
cas-, was tried with the following result:
His contention was that he was acting In the
interests Of the Newport people in prohibiting
the. curtailment Of the lecture. Mine was that
the lecture hour was eight, and that my lecture
was only an hour and half long; when the pro-
ceedings were protracted, 1t was because Of un-
punctualIty and other peoples oratory Inproof
Of my assertion / offered to read my lecture to
the court, but the jury yisibly shuddered, and
the judge said life was too short for this kind of
evidence. However, he summed up in my favor,
and the jury followed his lead so that won my
only lawsuit. The plaintiff appealed to higher
court In London, and the case came on before
Lord Coleridse, who made very short work OF
the matter.
''It is acknowledged. said he 'sby the defend
ant that his lecture Is an hour and a half long,
and 1t seems the plaintiff wanted it longer. Now
hold" he continued, "that any lecture Is q
common nuisance that lasts longer than an hour,
SO dismiss the appeal"
