In culinary parlance the social simmer
during the past week has been at dou-
BILE discount as compared with the mas

matters connected with the melted moon
shine business. To the precious young
fellow il may be be said that the way to
pop is to pop Of course there are
good many ways of putting it; this is a
matter of taste The safest way is to pro-
vide yourself with liberal vest roll, to act
as soothing syrup, square up to the
languishing beauty and, take your
chances on getting left.

and good man, evidently penned by his
friends. 1t is to be regretted that Alex
ander was no friend of ours, still they

If the party who wrote the lines had an
eye to the main chance and wants to be
his successor, it will be seen TO that he
