- LY AT SEGORS AT WWLLA “HER PLATFORM.” 46] DO not wish to vote,” she said ; " Thate this suffrage rant ; But I don’t want a horrid man ‘To tell me that I shan'n’t."—Exchange. A city broker, whose home is in New Jersey, was obliged by illness to lose a day from his business, so he sent word to his clerk at the office to let him know by telegram: something of the day's transactions. ‘The firm's private code was to be used. . The hours wore on, but no telegram appeared, and the broker began to be mystified, not to say provoked, at the unaccountable negligence of his faithful clerk. The telegraph office was a mile from his home, and there was nothing to be done but to wait for the messenger, who didn’t come. ; Next morning the unhappy suburbanite stopped on his way to the station to make inquiries at the telegraph office for his missing telegram. The operator was an old town gossip, with an interest in everybody's affairs, and he greeted his visitor in neighbor} fashion. “Good morning, sir! All well, I hope ?”” “Yes, all right. I say, didn’t you get a telegram for me, yesterday ?” “Telegram for you? Well, let me'see. Why, yes; I believe I did. But I couldn't make nothing out of it, so I didn’t think ‘twas worth while to send it up !"—W. ¥, Tribune. PERSONS who believe in luck and signs will doubtless agree that it is unlucky to be | struck by lightning on Monday, or to take hold of a circular saw in motion on Tues: | or to tumble down stairs with a coal scuttle on Wednesday, or to be hit with a cable car on Thursday, or fall overboard on Friday, or marry on a Saturday a girl who swings ten © pound dumb bells, or to be one of thirteen at dinner on Sunday when there is only food for ten.—Exchange. A WELLESLEY college girl tells of a bright saying of one of their number. The class was selecting a motto, and " To thy own self be true,” was suggested, after a number of others had been disapproved of, and met with quite a favorable reception till a young lady arose, and said she hardly ‘thought that appropriate for a young ladies’ semi Port shall follow, as the ight the day, thou wilt not then be false to any m Amidst great applause they discarded that motto.— Housekeeper. WHEN the society editress of a newspaper is sick it would be just as well to put a veal * on that department pending her recovery. A Montana paper thought otherwise, and the “general pury reporter was sent to report a swell function, He described the costume of the belle of the evening as ‘a vision of moire antique, cut bias at the neck and fes tooned with blue silk and Jack roses. Miss M—— had the smallest feet and the biggest sleeves in the ballroom."—Rochester Herald. One of the worst cases of a literal mind is reported by the Chicago Afar? : A guest hurried up to the hotel clerk's counter, He had just ten minutes in which to pay his bill, reach the station and board his train. “Whew 1" he exclaimed. ‘I've forgotten something. Here, boy, run up to my room, B 48, and see if I have left my tooth-brush and sponge. Hurry; I've only five minutes now.” The boy hurried. {In four minutes he returned, out of breath. “Yes, sir," he panted. You left them,” For sale by all Newsdealers in Great Britain.
