that n man who was constantly naEged
by his wife had u right to so and get
drunk. This may be all right in n legal
sense, but the man with n nagging
wife will do well to foreKo this one of
his legal privileges. II may be legal to
get drunk under .4oh circumstances
but 1T isn't safe.

Professor--Marriage is very close
relation.
Miss Oldie--Indeed! I have always
found IL to be quite a distant one.
That a negro woman has been adj
mitted to practice law in Kentucky
seems peculiarly appropriate. The
laws in the south appear to be made
particularly for negroes.
Democrats who are calling the re-
publican candidate for vice president
a ''forkea icicle" should notice the
change I'm November when he becomes
part OF big beat.
Sharpe--The major says he lost n
limb during the late war.
Whealton-Yes, he was up tree
and the enemy shot away the limb he
was sitting on.--Chicago News.
Judge Parker is much exercised over
the increased cost of living, q grievous
Increase he calls 1t. The laboring man
who remembers their condition under
when the almost total stagnation of
every industry brought prices to the
lowest ebb and wages to nothing at
all, will prefer work at high wages
with the attendant increase in the cost
of living to no work, no wages and no
money to buy with. Like the Irishman
who could buy much with shilling
they were unable to get the shilling.
Low prices and high wages never
mix.
Fifter--Thats a nice umbrella you've
got.
Lifter--Yes. 1t was a present.
Kifter--Indeed? Who gave it to you?
Lifter--Nobody gave it to me, but it
has an inscription on it showing that It
was "presented to John r. Jones" who
ever that is.--Philadelphia Press,
'Tis not we'll to always linger
Over times now gone forever
Lest we miss the living present.
And the future with it's promise,
We must drop again the curtain,
And once more the old time bury;
We must leave the old time people;
Till we enter life's grand Portal
Where we'll see them, smiling at us,
Reaching out the hand of welcome.

following;

dom from another people, and them
selves remain free."-A1ton B. Par

himself be free" Henry rBooke.
WHO drives fat oxen should him
self be fat."--Samuel Johnson.
Mr.. Askit--I see you wear a yachting
cap. Perhaps you can tell me what

Mr.. "Starboard?" Why
that's what the star boarder gets, of
course.
