Too Good to be Lost.


The following good one from the Memphis
Bulletin is too good to be lost !:
vIseT US.-we have friend-or, with the
emphasis of the inimitable Toodles, we hare
friend who for the nonce,I we shall call " the
Major though his right tothe prefix is some
what questionable Now tho Major has had.
through life, one besetting sin, and that is an
unconquerable love of certaiu game of cards
known'as ringt an, which is the French for
twenty-one. This well known game, fat wife
that can be laid to the Majors charge
How often he has been married the record
sayeth not, nor is it important. Suffice it that
during over thirty odd years of the Majors we'd
ded life, as his wealth increased and his hairs
become gray one after another, in regular sue
cession, his board was honored with the pres
ence of miniature editions of himself until the
number had reached twenty, when the Major
concluded things had gone far enough, and
should be stopped. Bur they didn't, as the Ma
jor in due time found out, for he had calculated
without consulting his wife. There were indi-
cations of another bond of union and we'll
spring ofhappiness. The Major became nervous,
for his nomenclature was exhausted. In his
dsperation, he finally declared that the coming
heir to his name and fortunes, whether boy or|
girl, should be named ruagt an.
In vain the old woman demonstrated. The
Major was inexorable The new conner, beirg'
the twenty-frst, should wag his way through
life with that apprepriate title. In an ANTERIOR
the Major awaited the announcement of the
tie strangers SEX The nurse appeared, and TO
the Majors horror, whispered the terrible word

jor, mhy didn't stand on twenty2"

The Go-ette has expressed an opin-
