''Spices," or ''Soured on His Stom-
ach"

Uncle Daniel Richards of Platte
Vile, who, thirty years ago, was
kno wn and loved by nearly all the
boys of Grant County, publishes
the following good take-off in the
Witness.
Being something Of lover of the
ridiculous as well Of the beautiful
and sublime, I have thought best to
lot down few of the ridiculous
things IN woman's dress, past and
present.
The past takes US hack to the air
castle or balloon, when some thought
they would have to take out the
broad eide of the house to give them
ingress and egress with their dresses,
when q modest size door would have
sufficed with becoming dress. The
D ocular benefit was that it was airy,
and then they could spread them
selves in it when they went, like q
quarter horse under the whip on the
race track. Then we had the long
tail. that the little dogs used to jump
on and ride when they slid up and
down The side walk like boys com
ing down bill on their coasters. It's
peculiar benefit was that it kept the
men from approaching 10 near from
behind, while the way was lett clear
before, they having removed their
head gerr entirely to the back or
their heads. Then came the wriggler
or wiggle tail that wrigglei and
danced behind when they went, like
the corona of the eclipse of the sun
Then we had the stern-tuck or PIN
back, for a while, and now, Mr.. Ell
itor. comes the skillet loaf or swellsd
bowel style. But before they dis
card entirely the 5tern-'uck let ne
in the most polite and genteel man
ner possible suggest to the fast ones
that they give the pin-back one
more tuck, put that in the center
and stick in peg, hang on a cows
tail and We Old fogics will clear the
track AMI iust see the thing 60.
