Wouldn't Make Mincemeat.
Kensington Keystone,
Alexander Cook was the old-time
village shoemaker in Parnassus “and
William Logue worked for him. The
gang was telling hog stories in the shoe
shop one day when Alexander said:
“Huh! Seven hundred and fifty. Why,
my father in Ireland killed wan once
an’ it dressed 2,600.” The crowd looked
at him in astonishment. “Yes sir,” he
added defiantly, “an’ it wuz 18 feet
long. Why, whin they int to hang it
up they hed to take it up on the roof
an’ hang it over the side av the house.’
The gang looked at him silently and
sorrowfully and finally went out. Cook
hummed a tune and pegged away at;
his shoe. Logue did the same. Their
backs were toward each other, Finally
Logue stopped and looked around.
“What’s the matter, Logue?’ asked
Cook. “I was thinkin’ about that hog.”
said Logue. “Well, I'll cut it in two,”
said Cook obligingly. “Nine feet long
and’ 1,860 pounds,”’ssaid Logue. They
resumed work. [n'a few minutes Logue
stopped and looked around again.
“What's the matter, Logue?” repeated
Cook. “I was thinkin’, abou: that hog,”
said Logue. “Well, PII’ cut it in two
again,” said Cook'as he pegged away.
“Four and a half feet long and 650
pounds,” said Logue as he turned a sec-
ond time to his work. Several minutes of
silence intervened and finally Logue
turned a third time.. “Now what’s the
matter, Logue?”. “I’m still thinkin’ -
‘about that hog,” said Loguc% “Well,
now luk ye here, Billy Logue,” replied
Cook. “I’ve cut that baste in two twice
fur ye an’ ll be d— it ’ll make
mincemeat av it to accommydate ye or
any other man.”
Tommy’s Grammar Rules Work
Badly.
Tommy was told that “couple” was
Singular, and, to make him remember
it, he had to write an essay about “A
couple.” Tommy went into his study
cofner, was quiet a half hour, except
once, when he demanded the proper
orthography of one or two big words, |
and this is what he handed his mother
when it was all done:
A COUPLE. :
There was a couple that went fishing.
One half of it was a man; the second
half wasa woman. It wentin a row-
boat with a pair of oars, which was alza
a couple: Bo that there was a couple
of couples. The woman half of the first
couple caught a couple of fish. Then
there was three couples. Said the man
part of the first couple:
“We has caught enough fish.”
Then it sat down together, and it put
its:arms around it and it said:
“Oh, my, don’t.”
But it didn’t act as if it cared much.
Just then the boat ran intoa stump and
stopped. This couple was very singular
for a while, but finally she said to it:
“George, my dear, doesn’t it think it
is time to go home?”
It looked at its watch and said:
“Yes, dearie! It is!”
Then this couple was plural, while
one of it rowed home. "
So a couple is both singular and plural
‘ed to him:
just the same.
Se ne
Tommy was a Strategist.
A little boy dropped his drumstick
into a well. In vain he entreated his
parents, the footman, the gardner, the
coachmun, the cook, the housemaid to
go down into the well to recover Lis
drumstick. In his distress a brilliant
expedient occurred to Master Tommy
—he secretly carried off all the plate
from the sidebbvard and threw it into
the well, Great wasthe consternation
when the plate was missed. and an ac-
tive search for the robbers took place.
In the midst of the alarm and the con-
fusion Master Tommy ran with the
news that he had found the plate.
“Where?” was the ery. “Down the
well,” replied Tommy. “I saw it quite
plain shining at the bettom— spoortis,
Indles, bread baskets, salvers and all.”
The housemaid hurried to the well, at
the bottom of which, sure enough, the
plate was seen. A ladder was procured,
a servant deseended, and the plate was
.
| brought up. Just before the last article
was fished up Master Tommy whisper-
“John, please bring:up my
drumstick when you go down for the
soup ladle.”

Cartridges in a Turkey’s Gizzard.
Imagine the disappointment of our
better half, when, on Saturday last, in
dressing a turkey for -the {amily board
she discovered something yellow in the
gizzard. - She thought she had struck a
pile of Klondyke gold nuggets, but on a
closer examination found 37 empty
shells of a 22-caliber target gun imbed-
ded safely in his turkeyship’s gizzard:
We have heard it said.that a billy goat
would eat hoop skirts and tin cans, but
never heard of a turkgy trying to make
an arsenal of himself before. Did you?
—DBedford Inquirer. 3
No, we never did. Nor we never be-
fore heard of an editor who could afford
to dine on turkey. Some careless mor-
tal in the vicinity of Bedford evidently
neglected to lock. his pouitry.coop.
