A Jack-o'-Lantern Joke.

The six boys. who lived at Whitmorc
farm. were greatly interested in the com
Ing of their city cousin. Irwin Hunt, for 4
months visit at the farm. As general
thing it did not take these lads long to
form an opinion upon any subject. AMI
before twenty -four hours had passed they
had reached the conclusion that Irwin
was a pretty good fellow, but a little iu-
clined to be conceited over the fact that
he was city born and bred.
Yes, sir. boys he had said, on the
morning of his arrival. when you have.
lived in the city all your life you are hut
very likely to be startled or put out By
any little thing that comes along" and he
thrust his hands in his trousers pOcke Is
and glanced around ON his less favored
cousins. with an air that, in their heart
of hearts. these manly, stOut-heartei!
country lads resented just a little.
However, Irwin was their guest and so
they said nothing in reply, and as the
cook just then called from the kitchen
door to remind them that she was wait

they Scurricd away 10 the barn with 4
whoop and a shout.
