My TINE NExT.-An old lady saw a
pair of fine horses canter gracefully
down the street last evening. She didn't
ike the show very well; so she gritted
her teeth and exclaimed "Ahl ye can
canter about in great style, can ye?
Darn We, it may be my time next% If
the old woman had looked over her
specks she would have seen that the pair
of fine horses were attached TO our friend
Flaherty's hearse. We recommend all
short-sighted danes not to be in the least
envious, but to step into Wetters, on
Monroe street, asid bpy a Monitor cook
ing stove. HfH
