A BOAR's head is usually sent to
Queen Victoria from Germany each
Christmas. For IA Christmases from
1887 it was the custom of King Ernest
of Hanover to send one to each of his
political friends in England. His list

A "BEAUTIFUL BLONDE" was the oc-

in Philadelphia on the day of the Grant
procession. A gentleman with his UNI
brella on his shoulder came in contact

expected to see the air filed with
wagon grease and spare-ribs, they

AN impecunious young man started
.afoot from San Luis Obispo to Soledad,
in California. Getting fatigued and
desperate, he resolved to become high
wayman. He had no weapon, and was
physically insignificant; but strategy

built fire in the woods near the road,
to give the impression that party was

THE fower-girls on the boulevards OF
