DANBURY Ne,rs: Judging from nu-
merous samples of his work, Cupid must
be drunk about two-thirds of the. time.
DEXTER Smiths: An exchange says,
Emperor William suffers from the ear
ache" Most persons do, when they
have it.
ST. LOUIS Journal: When fond
mother goes on a whaling expedition,
she never fails to get all the b1ubber
she wants.
PHILADELPHIA Bulletin: A New York
dramatist is writing play to be called
the "Savings Bank We predict for
it tremendous run.
T Boston Post: Talmage has been more
highly complinented than he deserves,
by being styled the John Morrissey of
the American pulpit"
ROME Sentinel: Several exchanges are
giving directions How to Dress" The
most sensible way is to stay in bed till
the fire is started, and then take your
clothes under your arm and trot out to
the dining-room stove.
BRIDGEPORT Standard: The cold world
little realizes the sense of desolation that
shuts down on man who thinks he has
been handed too much change by his

IT is said that the age of superstition
is passed, but there are yet great many
women who wouldn't have a dress cut
on Friday for the world.-Er. What
the dear creatures most banker after is
a "Wednesday dress.-Phil. Bulletin.
THE MEERscHAUM.
Scorn not the meerschaum. Housewives, you have
croaked
In ignorance of its charms Through this small
Did Milton, now and then, consume the weed;
The poet Tennyson hath oft invoked
The Muse with glowing pipe and Thackeray joked
And wrote and sang in Nicotinian mood
Hawthorne with this hath cheered his solitude;
Full oft have Aldrich Stoddard, Taylor, Cranch,
And many more whose verses float about,
Pulled the yirginian, or Havana leaf;
Drops no sustaining fruit, how sweet to pour .
Consolatory whif-alasi too brief!
-"One Who Rnotrs Whereof He Writes" in Harper.
STRAY ,Squib: One of the old blue

WORCESTER Press: They don't have

BURLINGTON Hawkeye: Every young
man who is so fat he can't tie his own
necktie, and whose face is as round and

The spectacle of fat man in helmet
hat is what makes murderers.
