round, saw rat run for large dog

kept quiet, and presently saw we'll
grown specimen of the common brown
rat (Mus decumanus) come cautiously
forward, and after niDbling for short
time at the biscuit, drag it toward the
bars, which are only two inches apart,
and would not allow the biscuit to
pass. After several unsuccessful at
tempts, he left it, and in about five
minutes returned with another rat,
rather smaller than himself. He then
came through the bars, and, pushing
his nose under the biscuit, gradually
tipped it on edge, rat number two pull

this means they finally succeeded in
getting q four inch biscuit through q

that my dogs biscuit should be used
as food for rats, threw hammer at
them and picked up the biscuit. "

English Humor as a Heart-Breaker

The average English joke has its
poculiarities. A sort of mellow dis
lance; a kind of chastened reluctance.
A coy and timid, yet trusting through
evanescent intangibility, which softly
fingers in the troubled air, and lulls
the tired senses to dreary rest, like
the subdued murmur of hoarse jackass
about nine miles up the gulch. When
the London funny man grapples with
a particularly skittish and evasive joke,
with its weeping-willow attachment,
and hurls it at giddy and reckless
humanity, prolonged wall of anguish
goes up from broken hearts and SOM
Der pail hangs in the gladstone sky like
pair of soldier pants with only one
suspender The mission of the English
humorist is to darken the horiZOn-to
shut out the beauty of the landscape
and scatter a two-dollar gloom over
the glad green earth. English humor
is like a carbuncle. 1t makes you glad
when you get over it. 1t is like small
pox, because if you live through it you
are not likely to have it again. When
we pass from earth and our place is
filed by another sad-eyed genius whose
pants are too short, and who manifests
other signs of greatness, let no stored
urn or animated bust be placed above
our lowry resting place, but stuff an
English conundrum SO that it will look
as it did in life, and let it stand above
our silent dust, to shed its damp and
bilious influence through the cemetery
as a monument of desolation and
fountain of unshed tears. Bill Nye.
