Teacher (in mental arithmetic)?If there were three peaches on the table, Johnny, and your little sister should eat one of them, how many would be left? Johnn\ -How many sisters would be left? Teacher?Now listen, Johnny. If there were three peaches on the table, and your little sister should eat one, how many would be left? Johnny?We ain't had a peach in the house this year, let alone three. Teacher?We are only supposing the peaches to be on the table, Johnny. Johnny?Then they wouldn't be real peaches? Teacher?No. Johnny?Would they be preserved peaches? Teacher?Certainly not. Johnny?Picked peaches ? Teacher?No, no. There wouldn't be any preaches at all, as I told you, Johnny; we only suppose the three peaches to be there. Johnny?Then there wouldn't be any peaches, of course. Teacher?Now, Johnny, put that knife in your pocket or I will take it away, and pay attention to what I am saying. We imagine three peaches to be on the table. Johnny?Yes. Teacher?And your little sister eats one of them and then goes away. Johnny?Yes, but she wouldn't go away until she had finished the three. You don't know my little sister. Teacher?But suppose your mother was there, and wouldn't let her eat but one ? Johnny?Mother's out of town, and won't be back till next next week. Teacher (sternly)?Now, Johnny, I will put the question once more, and if you do not answer it correctly I shall keep you after school. If three peaches were on the table and your little sister were to eat one of them, how many would be left? Johnny (straightening up)?There wouldn't be any peaches left. I'd grab the other two. Teacher (touching the bell)?The scholars are now dismissed. .Tohnnv White will re main where he is. Why They Joined the Church.? "How does it happen that you joined the Methodist Church?" asked a man of a dealer in ready-made clothing. "Veil, pecause mine prudder choined der Bresbyterians.

"But don't you have to donate considerable to the support of the church?" "Yah; I puts much money in dot shurch basket, but efery time I donates to dot shurch I marks pritches oop den per cent, unt gits more as often." |?-Moseby, who has been away from town some time, returned the other day. Shortly afterward, a friend met him, and noticing his seedy and low-spirited appearance, asked: "Moseby, what's the matter, old fellow?" "Ruined." "What?" "A financial wreck." "How did it occur?" "Well, you see, I had charge of a bridge j not far from here. The owners of the bridge are very particular about receiving every cent that is due them, so they put in one of those registers. It is a sort of fool arrangement, sunk in the foot-passage-way of the bridge and makes a mark with a clicking punch every time anybody steps on it. Well, everything was all right until the other day, when a big Newfoundland dog got on the blamed thing, and began to scratch himself, and, sir, before I noticed him he had charged me up with $275. Yes, I am a ruined man."?Arkansaic Traveler. rvn A PAOmTTX'T TXT mur WPCT ?
