Then Her Love Grew Cold.

Not long ago a servant living in Derbyshire gave notice to leave her situation. informing her mistress that she was about to be married. As the time drew near for leaving she addressed her mistress thus: *‘ Please, mum, have you got a girl yet?’’ ‘‘No, Bridget. Whi you ask?’ ‘‘Because if vou haven't I should like to stay.’’ “What! Ithought you were going to marry the chimney sweep!’’ ‘Oh, yes, ma’am,”’ replied Bridget hesitatingly, ‘*but when Isaw him after his face was washed I felt I couldn't love him.’’~—Answers

When the Ass Spoke to Him,

A doctor at one of the London hos- pitals was one day lecturing to a class of medical students, when he stopped and asked a question which for some time none of them answered. But one man, who had never answered a ques- tion before and was looked upon as the fool of the class, answered him cor- rectly. The doctor was astonished and stared at the man in amazement.

‘*You look surprised, sir,’’ said the student.

‘So did Balaam,’’ was the doctor’s sharp reply.—Argonaut.

The Mad Moliah.

Todgers (with the evening paper)—I see the mad mollah is at it again.

Mrs. Todgers (who doesn't read the papers)—I should say she was. She broke down the fence this afternoon and chased me half way to the trolley station.

**Wh-what are you talking abont?’’

‘*Why, that mad mooley cow of Hop- wood’s.’’—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

“Jollying” a King.

One day, when George IV was talk- ing about his youthful exploits before the Duke of Wellington, he boasted of having led a charge of cavalry down the Devil's Dyke, near Brighton. Upon which the Duke of Wellington merely observed to him, ‘‘Very steep, sir.’’— Household Wards.

An Angiomaniac Bird.

**Can that parrot talk English?’ ask- ed the shopper.

‘*He just can,”’ said the dealer, with much enthusiasm. ‘‘He won't talk United States atall. When youask him if Polly wants a cracker, he answers, ‘Polly wants a biscuit.’ ’’—Cincinnaii

Enquirer.

Vain Longing.

Ardup looked up bitterly from the book he was reading. The words ‘‘one touch of nature’’ had caught his eye and had started a train of thought.

“I wish it were possible,’’ he solilo- quized. ‘‘I’ve touched everybody else.’’ —Chicago Tribune.

The Temperature Taker and What the Patients Thought of It.

To people who are fortunately unfe- fiiliar with sickness the thermometers nsed in taking the temperature of pa- tients are always a source of consicera- ble interest. A professional] nurse v bose experience has led her to numerots lo- calities and brought her in contact with many phases of life tells two stories which illustrate the foregoing state- ment.

In one of the local hospitals she had a male patient who was threatened with a run of fever. As she approached his bedside one morning he querulously complained of a leck of nourishment.

**I didn’t get enough to eat,’’ he said. **I feel almost starved.’’

‘‘Well, well,’’ she said soothingly, ‘‘we will see about that. ‘‘Here,’’ she added, ‘‘let me put this in your mouth.”’

She inserted the thermometer between his teeth and turned away a moment. When she looked back, he was working the bulb around between his jaws ata great rate.

‘*Hold on!’’ she cried, break the thermometer !’’

He drew in his cheeks and apparent- ly gave a mighty pull on the little in- strument, and then she removed it.

‘*Say,’’ he grumbled, ‘‘there’s no use giving me that. I couldn’t sucka blame thing out of it.’’

Another patient, a woman, begged of the nurse for a drink.

‘*Wait,’’ said the nurse and thrust the thermometer in her mouth.

The patient lay back on her pillow and placidly closed her eyes. A satis- fied expression slowly stole over her face. When the time was up, the nurse withdrew the tube.

‘‘Why,’’ said the patient, with a sigh of gratification, ‘‘what a lot of good a little thing like that will do you. ’’—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

To Save Repairs.

A son of the Emerald Isle who had commenced building a wall round his lot of rather uncommon dimensions— viz, four feet high and six feet thick— was asked the object of it by a friend.

‘*To save repairs, my honey. Don't you see that if it ever falls down it will be higher than it is now?’’—Nugycts.
