AN ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHER.

Mr.. Wydpants was very anxious to Sc
cure one of Miss Fussanfeather's photo
graphs; so one evening, while calling, he
took..one off elfand slid it in his pocket
while she appeared not to observe the act.
She saw him, however, and as he was
about to go she observed:
"Do you know, I think you are born
photographer, Mr.. Wydpahts."
"Wealy, Miss Fussanfeather, I must
disagwee with you. 1 cwouldn't mahn-
age cahmera pwoperly at all-weally."
"Oh, OIL" laughing heartily. "Why,
sir, how can you deny it-you, who took
my picture so skilfully only little while
ago!"
Wydpants shelled out the portrait, and
he went home muttering "cwushed again,
b'jinks. ."-.Statesman

Mr.. Nuwed (tenderly, but infexibly)
-"It seems to me that 'Lovey' and

to be called Darling at every other
word, particularly in the presence of

A middle aged man with a satchel be-

pedestrian turned aside and accosted HIM
with:
"Well, are you off,"
"Beg pardon, sir, but you have the
advantage of me-" replied the first.

"Back to Toronto. I'm tired of this

questions. Fellers come in every day
and want to see my scars. I've got Da-

blocks are more economical than granite,
