care II she did" They got on a and got out
near Rock creek, and he started to take her up a
dark street. and she got frightened and refused to
go any further. He caught hold OF her and tried
when he caught both of her lips in his mouth and

the stand and stated that the girl took a 81 note
from his vest pocket, and refused to return it to
him. He was tusseing with her for the note, when

District Government Affairs.

FCBLIC PRINTER 5. z. ROUNDS
to-day sent a note to the District Commissioners
calling their attention to necessary improve
ments which he thinks are badly needed about
the vicinity OF the printing Office on which he asks
favorable action by the District authorities. First
the alley running alongside the printing Office
from North Capitol street has no water nor gas
pipes, and Is dark at night and dirty in the day
time. There are great many frame buildings in
office, and in case of fire occurring in either OF
them would cause much destruction of property.
He suggests that If plug was placed about mid
way or near the stables 1t might prevent diSas-
trous coDflag grafton. He also suggests that the
alley should be kept in clearly condition. Other
improvements are also asked for

HUMOROUS WIRING.

Almost every one privately INDUCES in
the idea that he would become celebrated
humorist writer if he were only to try.
He takes up a magazine or newspaper
and reads humorous article, and says to
himself "If / only had time l could do
vastly better than that"
Now, friend, suppose you take time and
try.
If you can produce frst-class sketch
your fortune is made. You need not plod
along in counting. houses or vegetate be-
hind the counter of dry goods stores selling
calico at profit Of two cents yard. You
can Just go on with your first-class humor,
and Tx your own valuation upon it, never
fearing but it will be paid.
But the fact OF it is you are little mis-.
taken. This humorous business is much
easier in theory than in practice. Anybody
can criticise and find fault with our funny
writer's. but the question is can that came
anybody DO any betterl II SO, let him
try it.
You think it very simple and easy
thing to sit down with pen in your fin
gers and sheet of paper before you and
indite thoughts which shall convulse the
world with laughter, and sayings which
shall be repeated for years to come.
Well, we are willing you should try, and
when you achieve success we will langt
at your witty sayings and sun ourselves il
the fash OF your diamonds and not feel any
envy. We are apt to look upon humorous
writings as pastime, as requiring les'
thought and intellectual mower than the
heavier essays which crowd reviews but
in this we are mistaken. Your true humor
ist must have wonderful imagination, {
keen sense of the ridiculous. q thorough
understanding of language, delicacy, sensi
bility, tenderness and strong love oi

All was darkness, and again the earth was
without form and void. Nothing was left
of the globe which only little while ago
was the seat of so much human power of
mechanical appliances which seemed to
defy nature; of SO much wealth, learning
and art; of so grand and so small pas

above the Tower Of Babel: OF May
music festivals, opera festivals and dra-
matte festivals of beer and daily news

privilege of voting early and often, and the
best government the sun ever shone on.
OF all this no trace was left, and now
chaotic matter awaited the time when some
accident, perhaps of that universal scientific
solvent, electricity, should again tumble it
together; when the atomic friction of its
embrace should fill all space with gaseous
matter at white heat when its rushing
together should set all to whirling, and to
reeling off fiery werlds to take up their
orbits around the central fire, to repeat the
same cycles, and to cool down to the final
chill, and expire as before. But all this
proceeding had ceased to inter.

A SUCKER FROM os7ARIo.

Angus Macdonald was q farmer from

rived in Winnipeg few days ago. Angus.
in his own estimation and in the estimation
-of his friends was a shrewd man. He
was hardly in the place before an old &C.
quaintanoe of his ran up against hin,

and said
I'm glad you've come up. 1 was jnit

"Yes."
"How much will you take for it,"
al don't know" said Angus. "I
thought of settling on it myself."
" Wen, III tell you what I'll give you
Sc, 600 for it."
Angus thought before leaving Glenaarry
that If be got 81, 900 for it be would be
doing well, but he was now in the land of
booms aud 80 he asked for it So 500.
g Well, here's $50 on the bargain and
we'll sign the papers tomorrow" And
the purchaser rushed off.
Before two hours bad passed Angus ran
against another old acquaintance.
Ct@u " seS you angus, glAQ you

owning a farm near Minnedosa. How
much do you want for that farm ?"
I've just sold it. said Angus.
"How much did be give you!"
" SIX thousand five hundred dollsrs."
"The dickens he did. Why, I'll give
you SIS coo for it. You 20 10 the pur.
chaser and get him TO release you, and III
give you the Sl5, 900"
Angus wished that he was back in 81,
Raphaels or anywhere else, since he had
made such a fool OF himself. However,
all he could do was to try and get the farm
back. So who does he run across within
fifteen minutes but purchaser No. /.
Says Angus I'm sorry sold you my
farm. I'd like TO get it back. Here's
your $50, and we'll be where we were"
"Oh, can't do that. bought farm,
and will have the papers ready TO. morrow"
After further haggling. Angus offered
him $500 TO break the bargain.
With great reiuet@,. &c the first purchaser
took the $500 l3J rev SIS bills Of the
Bank of Mon ~ r. and gave back to Angus
the Temporary a4ecment of sale.
