A man who had imbibed rather freely

pasture, when fellow came along and
extolled the COW. eyes, SIR" said the
owner, "everybody is praising that
cow" at wish / owned her." said No.
2. Just then q couple of toads jumped
in front of the COW, "Look here" ex-
claimed the owner, EFF yoti eat those two
toads I'll give you the cow" "Will
you ?" said the man. He seized toad
and soon ate him up. 1t was too much
for his stomach and he stopped to con-
slider, while the owner OF the cow began
to fear that he had lost her. There was
a pause, when happy thought hit the
toad eater. "Ill tell you what I'll do,
said the toad eater, "if you'll eat the
other toad I'll let you up on your offer. :"
"Done," said the owner; and he gobbled
the second toad in a iiffy. They were
both somewhat the worse for their meal,
and 1t is still disputed point which
came out ahead.

The Latesti
From the Boston Courant.l


A Hartford young man boarded a
horse car the other day with bunch of
three roses. One was white, one was
green, and one was of delicate flesh
colored tint. These flowers attracted the
attention of the passengers, both ladies
and gentleman. One lady remarked
that she had seen the buds of the green
rose, and another that she had seen the
rose itself, but had never seen any SO
perfect and lovely rs this one. The
flesh colored one was also commented
upon and praised. Finally the young
man volunteered the information that all
were white in the morning, and that the
coloring was done by putting the stem
of one into green ink and the other into
red ink. Although the leaves were
beautifully colored the coloring would
not rub off, but it seemed as if nature
had done the work. 1t only required
ten minutes to change the color.

 Notwithstanding the snow and the cold nearly five thousand spectators assembled at the polo grounds, New York, Thursday after noon, to witness the champion football game between Princeton and Yale. The game was advertised to begin at 2 o'clock, but as the men engaged in sweeping of the snow from the limits of the ground assigned to the play CTS had not finished their work at that hour, play was not called until half hour later. The Yale men were so confident of winning that they offered Princeton two to one on the result, but even then the latter were timid in taking the offers. The game was unsatisfac- tory in its results and was decided ''crawl' on the part of Princeton, who, by slow play ing and long delays. killed time and thereby prevented Yale from scoring. The actions of the Princeton men were disgusting and are worthy of the severest censure. They were greeted with misses several times, and choruses of spectators rang out, Baby play l'' and 'sWhy don't you play football ?n Some twenty stages and hotel coaches were present,
