THE NEW BONNET.
Mr. Jones Will Not Buy Any More Toy
Mice

.I,ve quit smoking until I have paid
for my wife's Easter bonnet" said Jones
sadly; as he looked Ion gsns!y at the choice
cigars in the showcase. Several weeks
before Easter Mrs. Jones began limiting
about new bonnet, and I sat down on
it from the start, as, the way things are
with me, simply could not afford it..
She shed tears and made scene, but I
held my ground and wouldn't hear to it.
Finally the argument ended in q COM
promise, agreeing to stand for the
trimming overzof one of her old bonnets.
.sWelI, a few days before Easter
CHANGED to pass a street fakir who was
selling toy mice which. when wound up,
ran around as natural as life. Thinking
TO have little fun with my wife, 7
bought one and took it home. Just before
we retired for the evening wound it up,
and, watching my chance. when she was
not looking, placed 1t on the floor.
