the break Of his back2" asks a philoso-

bear by the hind legs and held him I'M
Ill her father arrived" And then he was

Young bucks should not make geese of |
themselves by going 10 see Miss Swan |
without having an invitation from the |
lady herself Ii lowers a gentleman's |
dignity to be seized by the hind legs by
a girl and held until her old man arrives |

phone that has not come TO be fully ap- /
preciated yet. You can carry on con-

Southern poets are writing poetry about |
the yellow fever plague. Now that yel-
low fever has got into poetry, editors
cannot be too careful, and this office will
maintain quarantine against poetry un-
til the weather gets colder. The cases
are only sporadic thus far, but we can't
tell how soon such poetry may become
epidemic.
