ON LIVING IN THE PRESENT Tue preachers of Simple Philosophy say: “Dream not of the Future—live wholly To-day.” But I find it exceedingly pleasant With Winnie for comrade, in fancy to roam To the time when her Pa will present us a home, For then we shall live in the present! —Lippincott’s. WHAT TROUBLED PAT An old Irish laborer walked into the luxurious studio of a New York artist, and asked for money to obtain a meal, as he was too weak to work. The artist gave him a quarter and then, seeing possibilities for a sketch in the queer old fellow, said: “I'll give you a dollar if you'll let me paint you.” “Sure,"" said the man, “it's an easy way to make a dollar, but, but—I'm wonderin’ how I'd get it off."—Ladies’ Home Journal.

GOOD ENGLISH A French lady living in America engaged a car- penter to do some work for her at a stipulated price. She was surprised later to find that he charged more than the price agreed upon. When she attempted to remonstrate with him, however, her English failed her and she said, “You are dearer to me now than when we were first engaged.” —Success, Misrress: “You scemed to be enjoying yourself last evening, Bridget. I heard loud laughter in the kitchen.” Brivcrr: “Yes, mum. Me policeman cousin was after droppin’ in to tell me of me uncle’s death.”— Harper's Bazar.

Far be it from me to condone The Satyr’s sins, yet I must ‘own I like to think there were a few Good Satyrs who to heaven flew, Whom, when St. Peter, stern and proud, Beheld, he cried, “No goats allowed!" And slammed the gate so quickly to, Only their human halves got through; Whereat the kindly saint relented, And that's how cherubs were invented, —Century, NOT DANGEROUS. Par: “I hear yer woife is sick, Moike?” Mie: “She is thot.” Pat: “Ts it dangerous she is?” Mike: “ Divil a bit. She's too weak to be dan gerous any more! "—Sun.
