A SLIM CIANCE.-"Don't you
believe that marriages are made in
Heaven," asked Mr. Yeast of Miss
Prim the other day.
"I most certainly do," replied
the lady of uncertain age, bright
ening up iat the Very suggestion of
a proposal, and throwing her head
on one side in her endeavor to look
coquettish;I "but why do you ask
me?''
''well, I thought you did,'' was
the young man's satisfied reply.
''But why did you think I did?'
persisted the antiquated maiden,
almost swallowing her overskirt in
her attempts to appear captivating.
'Well,' responded the heartless
young man, lighting a cigarette,
and getting at a respectable dis
tance from his antagonist: 'it does
not look as though there was much
chance of your being married be
fore you reached there!'
ON Ti LOOKOUT.-A young
man was standing on Chester street
smoking a cigarette and blowing
the smoke proudly from his nose
when a gentleman stopped and said
to him:
'Will you be kind enough to fa
vor me with your name and ad
( ress ?'
'And why should I give you my
name and address? You are a
stranger to me,' replied the young
man, lighting a fresh cigarette.
'You will please padon the re
quest,' contiiued the gentleman ;
'but it is a matter of business. I
have watched the expert manner in
which you handle ciga;ettes, and,
being an undertaker, I would sort
o' like to get on speaking terms
with your imnediate family.'
PnoUD OF IT.--Sone of the rich
est men in Austin started in life in
a modest wvay, andl are still plain,
unpretentious people, but tiheir sons
put on a great deal of style. One
of the latter, who was better post
ed about other people's affairs than
about his own family's, remarked,
sneringly, to an acquaintance:
'Your father was nothing but a
simple stone mason.'
'I know where you got that in
(frmaton,' (qui(etly remnarkedl the
'From whom did I get it!'
'From your father.'
'Hlow do you know that ?'
'Because your father used to be
my father's hod carrier.'
--With a smnall pieceC of zine and
a bit of silver (any silver coin will
dlo), thie zineC placed on one side of
the afilicted gum and the silver on
thme other, by bringing the edges
together, the small current of de
t ricity genera'ed immediately and

met a friend who clerks in a cigai
store on Austin avenue, and aske
him for a cigar.
'Ain't got any,' said his friend
'Ain't got any?' said Kosciusko
*Why, when I used to work in I
cigar store, I always had my pock
ets stuffed with cigars.'
'Yes; probably that's the reasor
you ain't in a cigar store now,' wa
the crushing reply.
-The girls have already foi me<
their plans for leap-year. To th,
bashful lover they will say, 'Do yoi
like home-made bread?' Ithe says
'Yes,' the reply will be, 'Well,
can bake,' Then if he doesn't tak<
the hint they are to seize both hi
hands, fall on their knees an( pu
the question direct.
Although women have the righ
to propose in leap year, there is n<
law that compels man to say yes
This fact ought to encourage th<
young men to stand firm.
