DURHAI, out, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1903. DR. GED. S. BURT. EXCLUSIVELY A couple of weeks ago the Herald had an item about a young child of Joe. Demmans’ being nearly poison- ed by eating colored crayons. The Toronto Star saw the funny side of the incident and worked 06 the fol- lowing :â€" A farmer came to town with his wife to do some shopping the other day. On his way back the thought came to him that he had forgotten something. He took out his note book and went over each item, checking it 03, and saw he had made all the purchases he intended. As he drove on he could not put aside the feeling that there was something missing. He again took out his note book and rechecked every item. but still found no mi.~take. He did this several times but could not get rid of the idea that he had forgotten some- thing. When ne reached home and drove up to the house his daughter came out to meet him and with a look of surprise asked. ”\Vhy papa, where is mother?” Sheâ€"Of course he bored me awful- ly, but I don't think I showed it.

When e chep hoofe it home at night witha girl, the least recom- pense he should expect in the privi- lege of hanging on the gate for a little while. The Durhemites do this all right. If a. fellow has a mind to trundle a baby round a block for pay whose business is it. we’d like to know ? If the fellows building the bridge bad the job of building the ark, they’d never be ready for the flood. A chicken flew into a coal yard the other day and laid an egg in one of the bins of soft coal. The people around there are positive that chic- kens can read. because in front of the ofliee there is a large street sign hearing this device: “Now is the time to lay in coal.” The Mail and Empire stated that the comet would appear Thursday night alongside of the cluster of Stars known as the dipper and that it would be seen near the handle. As a consequence many were stur- gazing, while many more who heard the rumbling sound on Main street on the evening, thought the comet had fallen to earth and taken its place at the handles of,n preamu- lator. After investigation it was found to he Joe Burnett making a circuit around the block propelling a baby carriage at break-neck Speed. The cause Joe says was a bet. and he won. Perfection can be gained by practice. Smart Passonger~-~Here, conduc- tor. is my fare.
