A Hard Proposition
"How's the family?" a fond parent
was asked.
"Well, my children are at a diffi
cult ago now."
"Difficult? Why. they've all passed
the measles and teething stage, have
they not?'
"Long ago. But you don't know
a father's troubles. My children are
at the age where if I use slang my
wife says I'm setting a bad example,
and if I speak correctly, the young
sters think I'm a back number.
Which would you do?" New York
Herald.
A Rolling Stono
"They tell me you've lost your
hired man."
"Yep, best farm hand I ever had."
"Sho! What was th' matter?"
"Nothin'. John's a German, you
know, and these here Germans hev
what they call the wanderlust. It's
somethin' thet keeps 'em movin'
from., one place to t'other, an' don't
let 'em stay long anywheres."
"That's queer, ain't it? How long
had John been with you."

came down that decline with greatest
velocity and lost my centre of gravity,
and was precipitated on the hard
macadamized road."
"G'wan, leave him alone," said
one of the men, "he's a foreigner."

nothing, but the man who will stick
to one thing who wins in tbe long
run. London Tatler.
