Did you ever see q canary fghtg No?
Well, 10 Is q great wonder that such
diversion does not come in vogue among
women who regret that they are women
because their sex excludes them from see
ing prize fights, cock fights, dog fights and
kindred amusements sought by men of a
Sporty" turn OF mind And 10
could be had without the pub
LEFTY which usually attends the sports
referred to. A woman could keen
several birds without arousing the least
suspicion and they would furnish en-
chanting music or a first class fight, as
best suited her callers
Will canaries fghtl Yes TO the death.
The best man who ever leapsd within
the ropes the best game-oock or dog
ever dropped into a pit, could do no
more
Some time ago an EVENING JOURNAL
reporter saw a canary fight IL was not

death of either bird but the timely in
tervention Of their owner was all tha'

The Meaning Is Simple.

A correspondent asks, What is the ORR
gin and meaning of the expression, His
name is DennisP"
The meaning is simple enough. 1t is
that ones name is Mud; or that he himself
is in the soup; or that he isn't In it; or
that he's gone up the spout; or that he's a
dead duck; or that he's gone up Salt river;
or that he's back number; or that he's
played out; or that he's used up; or that
he's no good; or that he's ausgespielt; or
that he's gone to protest. But as to the
origin we are inclined to think that, like
80 many Of our slang expressions, It comes
from the English music halls. Who de
vised It, however, we do not know-New

THE OLD LIBERTY POLE.

The liberty pole from the village square
Points its hammered top to the sky;
For nearly century 1t has stood there
And watched the years go by.
Many gathering of friendly ones
Has assembled around its base,
And many volley OF patriot guns
Has echoed about the place.
Many procession has passed it by
On the nations natal day,
And cheered that banner in the sky
In a heartlike, jubilant way.
Tales of the old time days could be told
BY this sentinel standing there
Legends Of love and legends of gold,
Of.hope and of despair.
But about its brow the wind may sing,
And the snow may fall, and the rain,
Yet this veteran, like a voiceless thing,
Is mute through pleasure or pain.
II has seen the young grow old and white,
And watched life's expiring flame,
But still, with its brow in the bright sun
light,
The liberty pole stands the same.
