Cutting Things Down..


"Maria," said Mr.. Jones, upon one
OF his worrying days, "it seems to me
you might be more economical. Now,
there's my old clothes; why can'tyou
cut them down for the children?"
Because they are worn out when
you r done with them" answered
Mrs. Jones. otis no use making over
things for the children that won't
hold together, smart as you are"
"Well, | wouldn't have %cupboards
full ofthings mildewing for want of
YEAR If | was a woman, that's ALL"
5rumbled Jones. "a penny saved is
a penny earned"
That was in March. One warm dav
in June Mr.. Jones went peering about
the cupboards looking for something
he couldn't find, and turning things
generally inside out.
"Maria, where is my light dust
coat?" he beloved.
"Cut it down for Johnny"
"Ahem! Well, where's the brown one
l bought last SUMMER"
"Clothes-bag!" mumbled Mrs. Jones,
who seemed to have a difficulty in her
speech at that moment, "Just made
it into a nice. one"
"Where are my shepherds plaid
trousers?" screamed Mr.. Jones.
"Cut them down for Willie"
"Heavens!" groaned her husband;
then a voice of thunder, "where have
my blue and white braces got to?"
"Made a beautiful cricket belt for
Harry" said Mrs. Jones.
"Maria," asked the astonished man,
in a subdued voice, "would you mind
telling me what you have done with
my silk hat-you have not cut that
down for the baby, have your"
"Oh, no, my DEAR" answered his
wife, %cheerfully, GIVE used it for q
hanging basket. 1t is full OF nice
plants and looks lovely"
"Great Scot!''
Mr.. Jones never mentions economy
or suggests cutting things down-he
has had enough OF it-quite cured, in
fact.

He Was a Brute.

He wasup stairs rummagingaround
looking for a clean shirt when he
heard his wife scream.
"Come down stairs quick" she yell
ed. .-
"Well, wait till I get a shirt" he yell
ed back. II can't find one high orlow.
Where in thunder are they?"
"Oh, John, john" she walled. stlet
the shirt 60 and come down here
quick, the baby's swallowed a collar
button"
"Confound that baby" he growled,
throwing a coat aroundhis shoulders.
II wonder if the shirts gone with the
collar button" .-
The baby was all right when he got
down stairs and his wife nearly had @
fit when he asked her if the shirt had
gone with the collar button.

Down the Tree.

There were eight or ten OF us on the
platform Of a railroad station in Ten
nessee waiting for the train, and by
and by some one called attention to a
woman seated on a barrel and smok-
ing a pipe with great vigor.
"What big feet" said one.
GLOW stupid she looks!" added a
second.
"Bet a dollar she doesn't know A
from Fl" put in a third.
Half a dozen people had had their
say, when a "native," who had been
whiting away at a shingle and sit
ting with his feet dangling off the plat
form, turned about and called to the
woman:
MARY; is the shotgun in the cart?"
"Yep."
"You'un tote it along yere!!"
"What fur?"
"Got to shute some ofthese 'uns fur
talking bout you! Drap some extra
buchshot in the bar'ls!"
Mary didn't 20, however! Six
apologies wererendered in six seconds,
and the husband accepted each and
every one and said:
"You'un needn't tote that ar gun
yer yere! These 'uns hev cum dowr
| the tree!"
Giving Him a Lesson.
B-,whoh has been confined to his bed

How TIC Stop an Express.
Suburban Resident-"See here, sirl
You told me that that country place
I bought OF you was only t~hirty-fve
minutes from the city"
City Agent-''Yes, sir, t~hirty-fve
minutes by express. You remember,
when we went out to look at it, the
time was t~hirty-fve minutes exactly.'
"But, confound it, sir, the express
trains don't stop there, not one of
them, and the accommodation takes
about an hour and a half!!"'
"You and I went by express, and it
stopped for us, you know"
eyes, I know; but it hasn't stopped
since"
"It will stop if you hire a man at
your station to buy a through ticket
for somewhere. That's the way I did
the day we went out."-Good News.

of SIC, 900 from Joshua w. Waterman,

that q like amount shall be raised by

thusiastic over the prospects. A meet
ing Of the faculty was held today, and

ed: President Angel, chairman; Profs-
Reighard, de Pout and Mclaughlin,
literary department; Prof. Knowlton.

mittce will appoint subcommittee

Gus large cities, and il is thought that

He shot in from the street ~ il

that II was safe TO tackle the landlord,
be nervously arranged the skirts of ms

He was c1rious-looklng little wasp of
