At the examination of pupils in a school a. short time ago, the inspector put questions at random to t>K) scholars. Among the latter was a red-headed lad, >vho, on being asked how many da\s there are in a year, answered "Seven." When the tittering of the rest of the class subsided, the inspector remarked: "I said a year, not a week. Now try again. How many days are there in a year?" The lad appeared nonplussed and vexed for a moment, and then ejaculated: "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, just seven. If there's others I have never heard of 'em."
Wife: "Here's a-.story of a man in Arabia who sold his wife for a horse. You wouldn't sell me for a horsq, wourd you, darling?" Hubby: "Of course not, 'dear! But I'd hate to have anyone tempt me with a. really good car."
New Pastor: "I'm very glad to have your husband's good opinion." Sister Hardshell: "Oh, he's quite satisfied. He says, 'What can we expect at such a salary?'
