HIS FIRST BRIEF.
"Mr. Scrimplo,' said the magnate to
the rising young lawyer, "I want to
make ubo of your valuable Ecrvices."
"Very well, Bir," said Scnmple, as he
gasped as the joyous prospect of a first
brief. "What can I do for you?
"A firm which competes with my
house," replied the magnato firmly, "is
about to bring an action for damages
against me, and I want you to get them
to engage you as their attorney."

FOOLISH BEE.

"How doth the Httlo busy beo
Improve each shining hour.
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower."
And when tlio season's work is done.
The frugal farmer man
Grabs all the honey gathered in
And damps it in his can.
And hence it seems to one who views
How things do come to pass.
That, in a modern business light.
The busy bee's an ass.

"It's rank injustice, so it is,'
said
Nero, mournfully.
"What's the matter?" inquired Fido.
"I've been thinking of the way the
public makes us wear tags."
"They're afraid that if we go around
having ourown way we'll kill somebody.'
"That's just where the unfairness
comes in. Why don't they make the

Petersbe moralizing Do you know,
if you didn't smoke you would save
about $G00 every 10 years?
Smithington (thoughtfully You do
not smoke?
Peterebe-iCertainly not! I haven't
for 20 years.
Smithington Then I suppose you
have got 81.200 to show for it?
The particular moral or joke of this
modern fable is that Petersbe was
forced to admit that he hadn't saved a
cent.
HE KNEW ALL RIGHT.
Teacher Do you know what pedigree
means, Bobby?
Bobby Yes, sir. It means your
father, your grandfather, great grand

And mirror on your brain that deep-blue

I'll open to j ou the beauteous tilings of earth.
And azure deeps of yon tempestuous sea"

"Order! order! The men have cornered

nor a safety nor even an ordinary, just
plain pin can be had for love or money.
It is useless to continue the struggle
any longer. The strike is broken."
Then 5,000,000 desolate homes through
out this broad land were gladdened bv
the return of their mistresses.

Ho never flies into a rage;
In dress he's fashion's pink.
He is, in fact, a model man
Deny it if you can
He stands before a clothing store
A papier mache man.
