Some Terrible Puns.

Punning, says the New Orleans
Picayune, would not be 30 bad were il
not so infectious. Puns leave germs
which lie i'm idle minds until they
fructifv and bear a baleful crop of
more puns. The other day some of
us got to talking about that witty old
cynic, Dean Swift, when one Of the
company took advantage Of the open
ing and gave us this jeu de mot of
his:
why, asked the dean. 'is it right.
by the lex talionis, to pick an artists
pocket
1t was given up, Of course, and the
answer was, Because he has pic
lures"
A silence fell round about the table
until, one by one, We all saw it.
Then one thoughtful man observed:
1T was impossible to give the
answer-because the dean had con-
rived to reserve the answer to him
self. | could not, for instance, say
that it is right for me to pick an
artists pocket because he had picked
yours"
Here is another conundrum founded
upon a pun, which only the PROFOUND
er can solve. An old man and.
young one were standing by a
meadow.
"Why." asked the young man, sis
this clover older than you?"
1T is not, replied the other.
ut is, thoush." returned the young
man, because it is pasturage.
Thereupon an distracted looking
person, who had not followed the line
of remark, and who had not under
stood the illustration, startled US all
with this irrelevent inquiry:
"Why can not pantOmimist tickle
nine Esquimaux? Give it up? Why,
its because he can gesticulate.

Williams knew that an immediate Eyes
would make him sure of stab.
"let me get my spectacles SO that ] can

He went behind the counter and came
back, not with his glasses, but with an AK
across his shoulder
"Ies," he said, IL have sued you."
