NEW LIGHT ON SOCRATES.
The misunderstanding of words
frequently causes strange answers.
A child who had been taught that
Socrates had a wife who was un
pleasant to him and that the great
philosopher drank hemlock, when
asked the cause of his death, re
plied: "Socrates died from an overdose
of wedlock." Strand Magazine.

UPPERS ALL TAKEN-
As you journey along on life's railway train
In sunshine and shadow, in frost and in rain,
Try hard as you like you can't cut a dash
For the man at the wicket who pockets your cash
Says, "If I'm not mistaken;
The lowers are all taken;
Uppers are all today."
When you go to a church where millionaires are
And ask for a seat not back very far,
The man in frock coat who stands at the door;
His face is familiar; you've seen him before;
Says, "If I'm not mistaken
The lowers are all taken;
Uppers are all today."
When the work you have done is deserving of praise
And you go down to your boss expecting a raise
He sizes you up while he light his cigar
And pointing the way to an up-going car
Says, "If I'm not mistaken
The lowers are all taken;
Uppers are all today."
When you break all the strings of your old violin
And go to Saint Peter and ask to get in
He thinks of your sins with regret in his eye
And closing the door of the sweet by and by
Says, "If I'm not mistaken
All the uppers are taken;
Lowers are all today."
1 R1PHINO A LAWYER.
In some cases counsel receives
answers to questions that they had
no business to put, which, if not
quite to their liking, are what they
justly deserve. The following
story of George Clarke, a cele
brated negro minstrel, is a case in
point. On one occasion, when
being examined as a witness, he
was severely interrogated by a
lawyer,
"You are in the minstrel busi
ness, I believe?" inquired ihe law
yer. "Yes, sir," was the reply.
"Is not that rather a low call
ing?"
"I don't know but what it is,
sir," replied the minstrel, "but it
is so much better than my father's
that I am rather proud of it."
The lawyer fell into the trap.
"What was your father's call
ing?" he inquired.
"He was a lawyer," replied
Clarke, in a tone that sent the
! whole court into a roar of laugh
i ter as the discomfited lawyer sal
down. Weekly Telegraph.
THE SWEET THINO.
ANOTHER PATIENT
When little Bob bumped his head,
Uncle Jim gathered ihe young
ster in his arms and said:
"There! I'll kiss it. and die pain
will all be gone. "
Cheerfully smiling, ihe young
ster exclaimed:
"Come down into the kitchen;
the cook has the toothache."
Judge.
EASY EMPLOYMENT.
"The easy man in this establish
ment, 1 am sure, envy guns."
"Why should they envy guns?'
"Because guns find constant em
ployment only in being fired."
