A political orator, evidently better acquainted with western geography than with the language of the Greeks, recently exclaimed with fervor that his principles should prevail "from Alpha to Omaha."
POLITICIAN—"Congratulate me, my dear, I've won the nomination."
HIS WIFE (in surprise)—"Honestly?"
POLITICIAN—"Now what in thunder did you want to bring up that point for?"
"What makes you think the baby is going to be a great politician?" asked the young mother, anxiously.
"I'll tell you," answered the young father, confidently; "he can say more things that sound well and mean nothing at all than any kid I ever saw."
