The late Senator Platt of Connecticut enjoyed funny storles and could tell a good many himself. Notwithstanding his long public llfe, he always remem- school days. One year when the district schools opened in his town one of the teachers in making & record of the ages of her puplils, as required by law, found that one little- girl, who came from a fami- ly not noted for being espectally bright, was unable to say when her birthday came. So in order to complete her records the teacher walked two miles to see the girl's. mother one afternoon after school. Asked if she could remember just when her daughter was born, the woman thought for some little time and then, with a sort of puzzled look, said: “Well, the gal was born in -tater time, that's sure, but I can’t ‘member whether they was a-plantin’ on ’em or a-diggin’ on ’em.”—Boston Herald. ‘Where S8he Got Them. “But,” sald the inquisitive bachelor after the baby had been carefully placed in his arms, “where does she get her blue eyes? Yours are dark, and so sre her papa's.” “Oh,” the fond young mother ex- plained, “she inherits them from my side of the family.
