A POOR JOKE.
Eddie Johnson, who is well known about town as a practical joker, recently decided to give his best girl a birthday present. ‘Tell me, Maude,' he asked, ‘ what would you like !’ • I don't know, Eddie, darling,’ replied Johnson's best girl at this unexpected generosity. * Ah, I have it,’ he excitedly exclaimed, ‘ I’ll give you—just a year to make up your mind, so that you can count on a lovely present when your next birthday comes around !’
THE HONEYMOON. Young Bride (pouting) : ’ Here we have only been married two days, Clarence ; and you're scolding me already :’ Husband : * I know, my dear ; but just think how long I've been waiting for the chance !’
