An Embarrassed Suitor.—Johnny (during the temporary absence of his sister from the parlor): " Going to stay here very late this evening, Mr Hankinson?" Mr Hankinson (somewhat embarrassed): " H'm, why do yon ask me that question, Johnny?" Johnny: "'Cause Mr Ferguson, he's Irene's other fellar, you know, is goin' to give me half a dollar if I stay In here to-night aa late as you do. (Yawning.) I'm getting mighty tired." Little Bessie: " Fred, what do yon think ? Mr Stokes had a perplexity fit yesterday." Master Fred: "Perplexity fit? Oh, dear, what a girl. You mean a parallel stroke."
