_A Case of Mutual Application_
MR. WOOD, a man very fond of playing jokes, met his friend, Mr.
Stone, and at once inquired jocosely:

_She Didn't Sleep Well_
A woman who lives in an inland town, while going to a convention in a
distant city spent one night of the journey on board a steamboat. It
was the first time she had ever traveled by water. She reached her
journey's end extremely fatigued. To a friend who remarked it she
replied:
"Yes, I'm tired to death. I don't know as I care to travel by water
again. I read the card in my stateroom about how to put the
life-preserver on, and I thought I understood it; but I guess I
didn't.
