Mrs Hodge: "Harold writes f*om college that he's larnin' to fence." Farmer Hodge: "Good! I'll let him string more'n half a mile o' barb-wire as soon as he gits home!" Two children were engaged in an absorbing conversation. 'What are Anarchists?' asked one. "Oh, they are people who want everything anyone else has, and they never wash themselves," answered the other. "Oh, I see. They are just little boys growed up." Burglar (sternly): "Where's your husband?" Woman (trembling): "Under the bed !" "Then I won't take anything. It's bad enough to havo such a husband without being robbed." "So this-fine little baby is a girl?" beamed the rector, as ho walked round the baby show. The proud father asjsented. " "And this other one—is it of the contrary sex?" His wife's, eyes were upon him, but with no thought of the wrath to come he replied blithely: "Yes, sir; she is a girl, too."
