TRIBULATIONS OF A LOCAL

Once upon q time o local editor
dreamed that he was dead and in the
other world. He approached the
gate Of . city before him and knocked
for admittanee, but no one answered
his summons. The gate remained
closed against him. Then hs cried
aloud for an entrance, but the only
response were scoreso Of heads appear.

the gate. At the sight of him the
owners Of the heads set up o dismal
howl and one Of them said:

At this horried and unexpected in
terrogxtion the local editor turned Ia
the direction of the voice to learn its
owner, when another voice shrieked

And close upon this came the awful
demand:

A BOY.

One Of the best things in the world
to I've, is a boy.
Boys have always been so plenty
that they are not half appreciated.
A boy is willing to do any amount
of work it II Is called play.
The feeling of a boy toward pump,
kin pie has w been properly con-
sidered.
A boy furnishes half the entertain
ment and takes two-thirds of the
scolding of the family circle.
II is impossible to say at what age
. boy becomes conscious that his
t~rouser-legs are too short, and is
anxious about the part of his hair.
In fact, a boy is a hard subject to
get a moral from. 6

HE PREFERRED TO WALK.

"She's pretty hot, amt she?'' said
a backwoods passenger on a Missis-
sippi steamer that was racing with an
other boat.

rs he hung an additional wrench OH
the safety valve cord to prevent the
steam from escaping.
'I reckon we'll overtake that craft
soon,'' pursued the passenger.
"That's about it," returned the en-
gineer, giving the cords another
witch and hallooing through the
trumpet to the fireman to ''shove her
up"
some hundred and ninety-five,''
hummed the passenger, looking first
at the gauge and then at the boilers.
"That's about where she's rustica-

Then the passenger ran his fingers
through his hair nervously, and
walked about for q few minutes, when
he came back to the engineer and Oh
served. "Hadn't you better let that
boat CO."
"Can't do it; must pass her."
"But 'sposen we should blow up?''
"Well," said the engineer, as he
peeped owe the guard to e how fast
he was gaining, ''if it's the will oil
Providence for this boat to blow up,
we'll have to stand it."
Then he halloed to the fireman to
roll up another cask of bacon and
mix plenty of rosin with the coal and
give her q little more turpentine and
