The Speaker: Marriage, mey dar sisters, is a huge mistake! Believe me, I would not marry the best man in the world— Sweet Voice (from audience): You couldn’t, for I’ve got him. A Yorkshire M.P., noted for love of punctuality and lack of humour, is Superintendent of a local Sunday School. A few Sundays back he had the pleasure of making the following announcement: Dear fellow-workers and children, out of the entire school only one person is absent to-day, little Maggie. Let us hope that she is ill.” A man accused in Court of being drunk, bade the constable call his fellow’-polieeman. “There’s only one constable in the village,” lie w r as told. “But I saw* two last night.” the prisoner said, and the policeman replied, “Yes, that’s the charge against you.” Mrs A.: “Well, how did you enjoy your first experience as a juror?” Mrs B.: “I didn’t enjoy it at all. It was simply agony to have to sit there dumb and not be able to show’ the pro scenting attorney a few tricks in crossquestioning a fool man.”—“Pittsburgh Christian Advocate.”
