The young lady who acknowl-
edged that she was compelled to
kiss fellow in self defence was, no
doubt on one side of defence and
the fellow on the other.-Breeze.
How long were they on opposite
sides of defense. Tribune.
Boys, this smacks of railery on a
tickelish subject. -Huronite.
1t was ten railery, and they both
had to hand onto the top of defence
to get in their work in that extatic
yum yum style, that never fails to
produce a 40 acre oasis in the des-
ert of life.
The Webster FARMER reports
sea serpent seen in Waubay, aud
claims that it looks like the cut of
the great sea serpant seen on Lake
Kampeska, and claims there must
be an underground passage between
the two places. Mr.. FARMER you
can not have our snake.-Water-
town Democrat.
Don't be too sure of that, my boy
Waubay has a shore line Of about Is
miles and is as handsome body OF
water as Kampeska, and has the
advantage of your lake in that
Waubay is crescent shaped and the
shore lined with forests, affording
constantly shifting panorama OF
the most charming scenery. DO
you suppose any well regulated
marine monster, with good, horse
sense, would desert our lake for
yours? Not much. Since he so
EeRjoys soaring people he is likely
to frequent Wauhay more than
would be really fair to Kampeska-
/ considering tour right Of discovery.
