"And what did you do, Johnny?"
"I didn't do nothin'--I was the boy!"--_Cleveland Plain Dealer_.

"I ain't a-runnin' fo'," shouted back Mose. "I'se a-runnin' from!"
COWS
Little Willie, being a city boy, had never seen a cow. While on a visit to his grandmother he walked out across the fields with his cousin John.
A cow was grazing there, and Willie's curiosity was greatly excited.
"Oh, Cousin John, what is that?" he asked.
"Why, that is only a cow," John replied.
"And what are those things on her head?"
"Horns," answered John.
Before they had gone far the cow mooed long and loud.
Willie was astounded. Looking back, he demanded, in a very fever of interest:
"Which horn did she blow?"
There was an old man who said, "How Shall I flee from this horrible cow?
I will sit on this stile And continue to smile, Which may soften the heart of that cow."

It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.--_Disraeli_.

"I understand they have a curfew law out there now," he said.
"No," his informant answered, "they did have one, but they abandoned it."
"What was the matter?"
