Jack tells the boys some plain
truths relative to their presence in the
Tribune Office. Sound. We hope the
boys will bear in mind the fact that
Jack speaks for as too. We don't
want to be bothered. It takes time
and attention to make up paper, so,
! Just steer clear of the door unless you
have business, then do itlike little men
and 90 home and make your wood pile
sick, or help the "old folks" as you
can in score of ways. When we
want you well let you know.
1t has been a question whether or
no, man could talk after his tongue
has been cut out. The Lancet an en-
glish journal gives an account of man
who had an ulcer removed from his
tongue, necessitating the removal of
nearly all the tongue leaving the floor
of the mouth bare, and after a week
he was heard to say, 81 should like
some more beef tea" We would
sooner believe that that interrogatory
was put to him, and that he answered
"Nothimg" If he had been woman
we might believe the yarn.
-"How vain are,all things here be,
low" A good looking young man in
neighboring town recently became
enamored of fair miss, and in conse-
quence the beautiful snow" suffered
fearfully, and the naturalization of the
sleighbells made merry all the day.
He was chief steward in a dry goods
store and she was Queen Of the May
and so needs must have fine purple and
choice sppsrel -and then she was no
more, for the cars took her, and row
he sings mournfully."
Ny Dearest May,
You're lovely as tn. day,
Your eyes SO bright they shine by night,
Since you are gone away.
The boys say he endures his grief
with Spartan heroism.
They have new way of measur-
ing carpets down at Dubuque. A
large dry goods house has adopted the
style, and it works like a charm. A
lady goes in to the carpet-room looks
over the stock gets the figures and
the figure, End says she will take so
many yards. The salesman sings it
the length of the ssfpet itell, gives
shrill whistle, aud as if out Of the at
mosphere comes a spindling urchin
who, quick as flash goes keel-a tee,
keel-a-tee, over and over, the salesman
counting the keels-over with all the
precision of lightning calculator. Ev-
cry keel is yard, for a good 3 feet
and 9 inch boy As tHe boy grows,
he must learn to keel shorter. When
he grows out Of the business, he may
become counter for keller yet unborn
should the fashion continue. Other
stores are becoming jealous and in Chi
cago, Field Letter & Co. it is rumored
are training sprightly young men in the
measuring worm attitude with good
success. Good active young men can
make nine dollars week, buckskin
foretops, and lubrioating oil for hinge
work furnished gratis. This is great
world and an age of wonders.
Times are improving. Our streets
are full of teams, and the former activ-
ity in all kinds Of business has taken
the place of the lethargy so manifest
during the panic. Confidence in men
and business institutions is being re-
stored, and as consequence, the mon
ey that has been boarded up for rainy
day has been brought to the light and
is circulating in the great arteries
of commerce. The press imparts the
cheerful intelligence, that those manu-
facturies that only a few weeks ago
were forced to close under the fearful
presence of the stringency of the mon
ey market, are being started up, some
on curtaiIed time, others, happily on
full hours, giving employment to labor
ing thousands dependant thereon for
the support of themselves and families
