w reference-book--"Who's Whose." SOLICITOR (whose client is thinking of getting a divorce)--"Well, you can get it for about twenty pounds; everything done quietly and no publicity." CLIENT--"And how much will the real thing cost, with lots of publicity and everything?" WIFE (trying to think of The Hague)--"Let's see, what is the name of the place where so much was done toward promoting peace in the world?" HUB--"Reno, my dear." "And are the divorce laws so very liberal in your section?" "Liberal? Say! They are so liberal that nobody ever heard of a woman crying at a wedding out there." A divorce suit would not appeal so much to a jury if it was cleaned before it was pressed. "What are you cutting out of the paper?" "An item about a California man securing a divorce because his wife went through his pockets." "What are you going to do with it?" "Put it in my pocket."--_Everybody's_.

Dr. Johnson used to be our family doctor but nowadays mother goes to an eye specialist; father to a stomach specialist; my sister goes to a throat specialist; my brother is in the care of a lung specialist, and I'm taking treatments from an osteopath." A young suburban doctor whose practice was not very great sat in his study reading away a lazy afternoon in early summer. His man servant appeared at the door. "Doctor, them boys is stealin' your green peaches again. Shall I chase them away?" The doctor looked thoughtful for a moment, then leveled his eyes at the servant. "No," he said. Once an old darky visited a doctor and was given definite instructions as to what he should do. Shaking his head he started to leave the office, when the doctor said: "Here, Rastus, you forgot to pay me." "Pay yo for what, boss?" "For my advice," replied the doctor. "Naw, suh; naw, suh; I ain't gwine take it," and Rastus shuffled out. M.D.--"Would you have the price if I said you needed an operati
