When the service was over the minister had an announcement of his own. He said: “All those having children and wishing to have them baptized, will bring them in the afternoon between three and four o’clock.” The superintendent, who was hard of hearing, thinking the minister was talking about the books, rose and said, “All those having none and desiring some can be supplied by me. The ordinary ones at fifteen cents, and the special ones with the red backs at twenty-five cents.” * * * * * _He gorged himself with sausages,_ _Until he almost burst,_ _Then said, they hurt my stomach some_ _But hurt my liver worst._ * * * * * Kisses a la Carte “I saw you kiss sister last night!” “Did you, Bobby?
