A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Hit First Attempt at Marketing Proves
a Lamentable Failure.
A well known officer has an idea
that he can manure the affairs of
the pantry better than his wife.
"Xly dear." said he one day, "that
baker of yours is cheating you. He
ought to jpve you seven of these
buns for sixj>ence. I can get seven
for that price."
So the major set off for the ba
ker's shop.
On arriving he pointed to a pile
1 of buns on the counter and said in
his severest way:
"I want seven of those buns for
sixpence."
'"But"? said the girl in attend
ance.
"Xo 'buts' in the matter," roared
the major. "If you don't give me i
seven I'll go elsewhere and get
them."
"Well, sir, if you insist," said the
girl, "I'll"?
"I do insist," said the major.
So the girl counted seven buns in
to a paper bag and gave them to the
major, who went off home greatly
elated with his success.
"Look what firmness can do," he
said to his wife. "I got seven for
sixpence."
"Yes," said his wife, "but you
have been cheated. These buns are
halfpenny buns."?Spare Moments.
?
An Infallible Wife.
He?The trouble with you, dear,
is that you never will admit it when
you are in the wrong.
She?That's not so. I'd admit it
in a moment if I were wrong, but
the fact of the matter is I never am
wrong, and you know it, Harry.
A Wise Girl.
"What," he asked, "is your opin
ion of the matter? Do you think a
genius should marry ?"
"Oh, Mr. Bardsley," she replied,
blushing most beautifully. "I?1
really?we have known each other
for so short a time that?that?
don't you think you ought to wait
until you are better acquainted with
me ?"
Inasmuch as she had put it that
way, he insisted on having her name
the happy day. ? Chicago Record
Herald. '
Probable Cause of Failure.
Mrs. Newly wed?I was going to
have some sponge cake as a surprise
for you, dear, but I confess it was a
failure.
Mr. Xewlywed?What was the
matter?
Mrs. Xewlywed?I don't know for
sure, but 1 think the druggist sent
me the wrong kind of sponges.?

Sure Bet.
"I wonder how old the saying is,
'A man has to go away from home
to get the news?' " remarked Smith -
ers.
"It must be very old," said Mrs.
Smithers.
"It must be," said Smithers.
"And I'll bet it doesn't refer to a
married man."?Milwaukee Journal.
