tired of reading of dandelions bloom.
ing luxuraintly at this season
Any gentleman who has been sunstruck
since Christmas and is willing to make
an affidavit to that effect will get a
hearing. But no more dandelions,
please.
Physicians declare the fur shoulder
capes, now so fashionable among young
ladies, to be a friend of undertakes
and grave diggers. They are positively
unhealthy on account Of their heating
tendencies, making the vital organs
unnecessarily tender, and subject to
serious colds
A fad with fashionable people now
is to fill a brss coal scuttle with flowers
and decorate it with ribbons. If said
fashionable people would fill the scuttle
with coal, down in the cellar, and run
up and down the steps dozen times a
day, they would have more health if a
less pretty bucket.

blizzard season is approaching.

The Black Stocking Base Ball Club
has re-organized for the season. 1t is
composed of a number of young men
of this city who are fond of the manly
sport. They have also secured the ser
vices of George Sisom, Burlington's
promising young pitcher, and with
"victory" for their pennant, they ought
to get there. They propose to give a
fair soon.

The doctors all over the county are
reaping such big harvest from la
grippe patients that by the first Of
April they will all be as wealthy as
the President Of the Standard Oil Com

summer resorts are open every one Of
them will flee thither, so that if fel-
low breaks his leg not one will be
found to set the bone.

and could hardly be given away.

Uncle Sam pays his 100000 en-
ployes, including soldiers and sailors,
an average salary of 1925 piece. The
average earnings of the plain, every
day citizen, who gets pay in proportion
to the work he does, are about halt
that much, probably. This state of at
fairs explains, perhaps, why about 26,-
100000 male American citizens make
dead set for about $4,000 Offices
every four years.
Notwithstanding the dreary reports
about fruit being injured, the probabi-
lities are that not all the trees suffered,
only those most exposed. There have
been predicted fruit crop failures every
season for the last half dozen years
at least, and when the time for supply
ing the market came there was an
abundance and the demand was some.
