A Counter Irritant. — An inattentive saleswoman. A Bare Foot.— Naturally, one that is only twelve inches. It is easier to live within your income than to live without one. There is considerable " go " in the man who is running to catch the last train. " The only way to prevent what's past," said Mrs Muldoon, "is to put a stop to ife before it happens." She : " Did you notice what a magnificent pair of shoulders Mr Youngfellow has ?" He : " Yes ; I wish I knew hiß tailor." THOROUGHLY/ SUBDUED. Her charms subdued him era they wad, .but now her tougue does it inateud. First Schoolboy : "My mamma is at home every Thursday." Second Suhoolboy : " Lor' ! what days does she go out to work ?" " Lite the fat or lean end, Joseph ?" " Well — hum. I've a leaning to tat, I think." " Oh; that's all right, I've an infatuation for lean."
