One afternoon lately, New York
policeman observed an individual ap-
preaching him in a most besotted and

If it is decided that we are not to
drink cider, l shall eat apples, and get
some young man to squeeze me-for l

Two cent stamps are still required
on bank checks, under the new reve-

on receipts for money or the payment

A woman is either worth nothing
or great deal. If good for nothing.
she is not worth getting jealous for if
she be true woman, she will give no
cause for jealousy. A man is brute
to be jealous of such a woman-a fool
