A little nonsense now and than* Is relished by the widest men. "There's a queer roomer afloat," remarked the hotel porter as be fished an insane suicide out of the bath-tub. A dying humorist requested that no one should bo invited to his funeral as it was a civility he could never rbpay. After all that we huve suffered fiotn the birds, it is no wonder that English spnrrers are unpopular in this country. " What i* always a woman's resort when sad aud troubled ?" " She takes to tears." " And a man ?" "He takes to beers." Youth is the timo of hope. When a man gets a little older he stops hoping, and begins reaching out for whatever hd can get. "Those enmine in after the speaker has commeaosd," said an Irish minister, after introducing a lecturer, "are requested to do so as quietly as possible."

A man with n hea\y bundle on his shoulder was riding on a car. He refused to put it down, saying. " Tbn horses have enough to uo to draj; me, I'll carry the bundle." It id averted that Solomon never laughed. That's not remarkable. A man who had 700 wives and a few hun-TH mothers-in-law was not likely to be in v very merry humour.
