COMMON LAW IN THE BLACK
HILLS.

A Correspondent lays down the
code of morals, corresponding to the
Ten Commandments, for the Black
Hills, as follows:
l.. Thieves and robbers will be
driven out of the camp for the first
offense-hurg for the second.
2. The man who picks a quarrel
had better pick up his traps.
3. Men convicted of murder shall
be hung on the same day.
4. Passing bogus money will enti-
tie a chap to pass out of town, every
body taking a kick at him as h
goes.
5. Don't covct your neighbours
wife.
6. Lying should be discouraged.
Z. Whack up even on all ''finds.'
s. No Sinking in an Indian fight,
8. All notes of hand must be
be paid when due, or down goes the
maker.
10. Rebellion against the lega
authority of the town shoves the rebe
out, and confiscates his claim.

WISE AND

Natural slippers: cells.
A matter of courses: a h~orse-race.
A bad policy: one that has run
out.
A Solicitor-G General: q poor beg
gar.
Somebody advertises real estate
dirt cheap.
Array literature: magazines and
reviews.
How to find a girl out: call when
she isn't in.
Maid to order: the waiteress.
A dress parade: woman going &c
church.
If sulphur baths are as salutary as
their advocates claim some sinners viii
have excellent health in the next
world.
Our modern poets may complain
that all the SMILES have been used VI
before their time. ''Whitc as snow
white as a lily" ''white as ivory
are now general property; but the
Welsh poet Davyth at Gwilym has Il
completely new image-he calls th'
maiden of his Owe "white as lime
ut is impossible" remarked
lover to his sweetheart, ''for me t.
spell Cupid"
"Why so?" she %innocently inquir
ed.
because" he answered, "when
come to & IL, l can 90 no further"
A woman's heart is like a litho
grapher's stones, what is once writer
on it cannot be rubbed out.
When a girl can make a match
safe and dust the piano, she thinks /
is about time to look for Il beau.
1t is a horrible thing for a woman
to tipplc, but what man docs not lik
to hold a girl tight" in his arms
Wife: ''Well, Jones, judgin.
from your breath / can't really tel
whether you have been drinking whis
ky, or whether you have been swim
ming i'll it." Husband (~reproaclI
fully): "Hannah, don't you-hic-
love me enough to gimme-hic-th
benefit of the doubt"
A man in Harrisburg has becnma
ried eleven years and has cleve
children. He is so used to it no
that he speaks of the ''grand annu;
bawl'' of the family.
Mothers should be very careful
see that their daughters are well wras
ped up while sitting out on the piazz
to see ''the satellites of Mars" !
coat sleeve, of course, is good as f.
as it goes, and, to tell the truth,
goes as far as it can, but at best
can cover only about so much terri
tory.

"What is your hurry?'' asked the
editor, again shaking their hands
warmly; '.stay a little while longer.
If you can't, come up this afternoon

The catcher of the Silver Stars
blew his nose, wiped it or the cuff Of
his coat, and led the way down stairs
in deep thought.

were my buildings I wouldn't begin
to think of taking the risk"
81 'spose," said Atcherton, s'that
it would be best to have a full number
of rods on the house. The more rods
