LITTLE LAUGHS.

SAUCING THE GOOSE. Important Young Man (indignantly): "How long will the next train be, portah?" Porter (who had had enough of it when the last train was missed) : "How long? Can't say, I'm sure to a foot or two. Four or five coaches and an engine or so." A DOUBLE DOSE. An ostrich who'd swallowed a key Declared he felt right as could be. Said Hie doctor, "Indeed? Then it's iron you need — We must give you the lock for your tea." NOT PROVEN. "Don't you know it's wicked to catch fish on a Sunday?" "Who's catching fish? Haven't caught a fish all day." FROM SUBLIME TO RIDICULOUS. Sublime: "The fashions of our own day." Ridiculous: "The fashions of any other day, especially those of our grandfathers." SLOW TRAVELLING. Schoolmaster: "Why are you late, Patrick?" Patrick: " Tis me new boots, sorr." Schoolmaster: "New boots don't necessarily make one late." Patrick: "Well, you see, sorr, mother forged to cut the string." Little Tommy: "Dad, what doe£ money say when it talks?" Father: "Good-bye.''' Ma: "No, Willie, no more cakes tonight. Don't you know you can't sleep on a full stomach?" Willie: "Well, I can sleep on my back." (Sent by Evelyn Scott, Frankton.)
