The Boomer Girl.

dedicated TO the bloOmer girls of Plymouth and
vicinity.
OF all the pretty things of life,
In the social swim and Whirl:
There's nothing, Charlie, half so sweet,
AS the blooming bloomer girl.
My eye she catches as she goes,
This creature fair and sweet;
There's music in her merry laugh,
Sculptors models are her feet
AS she wheels by, can but sigh,
For she steals my heart as she rides
away;
I'm caught by fad and left quite sad
In the sweltering heat of summers
day.

Compartment Stock.

The broker was trying to sell the rich old chap block of a certain stock which was being manipulated by men whom the rich old man had reason 10 suspect.
 How many shares do you want me to take:" asked the old fellow softly.
 "A thousand, '" said the broker.
 How much are they?n
 Hundred dollars, par, and we'll let you have them at 10 per cent discount !"
 "Um-um, hesitated the old chap rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "I'n take them if you will guarantee to have compartments in each share ''
 Compartments" inquired the pug zled broker What do mean by that? What kind of compartments? l don't understand ?
 The old fellow winked slyly
 Water tight compartments, my boy, of course. " he replied. Do you under stand that2" And it was evident that the broker did, for he made no further effort to sell-Detroit Free Press.

WaGE-EAPNERS AND
SOUND MONET.


 The New Orleans F;cogme calls attenton to the fact that there are 20. 900, GOO people in the United States who get their living by some sort of work. Says the Pic1yn4.c
 These 2o,o0o,0o people earn wages at an average of S2 day, their earnings amounting to s4O,- GOO. 900 daily and for year of 300 working days s12, GOO 000, 000 But #sunnose that 1t be contended that the average wage is onlySl day even then these 20, coo, GOO workers will have coming to them at the end of each day the sum of S20 000, 000. or.at the end Of the year, S6. GOO GOO, r GOO. Whether the earning of the working people be $40, 000, 00o or S20. GOO, 900 day the fact remains that these wage earnerS make up the greatest creditor class in the c0uu- try. All the bankers and capitalists together dc not make anything like $20 900, GOO much less S40, 900, 000 a day out of the interest on their money, or from any other use of it.
 If. then, there is any class CT peo- pie in the country yitally interested in insisting on and demanding the best money that is to be made it is this creditor mass comf foSed of the wage-earners. They have no debts which they would desire to pay with depreeiated money. They have never had credit enough to get into debt very seriously. They have some credit with the grocer, the baker and the butcher, but they pay up as fast as they can, because t Is necessary to maintain this credit, which can only be done by honesty and fair dealing.
 It is plain then that the wage. earners need to have their wages paid with money of the highest pur- chasing power, so that they eau get as much out of 1t as possible and just such money as they get they pay out. Not only are the wage earners profoundly interested in having the best money, but the ra tail dealers in all necessaries. who supply the working people have pre- cisely the same interest in good money.

The Human Puzzle.

The human puzzle struck Washington the other day His name Is Nixbeno, or Harry Beno, of Port of Spain, Trinidad, and he is en route to New York, where, he declares, he has been offered $25, 900 and ticket back to Cuba for letting the doctors anputate his left arm in the in- terest of science. The human puzzle is a short, stocky looking knight of the road, and his great speciality is self torture and mutilatien He sticks pins and needles into any part of him he can reach. and he is decorated all over with scars inflicted by obliging individuals who at his request have experimented on him.
 The puzz1e says he has no physical sensibihties and no blood in his body This last Is very thoroughly disproved by a strong, healthy pulse at the wrist, but the former one might believe from the fact that he sticks alarming needles through his tongue and hatpins through both sides of his jaws, while he invites any one who is interested and skeptical to run a long bonnet pin through his biceps or his leg or any other part of his body they choose.
 He has q hypodermic syringe needle that he has fixed up for cigarette hold CT, and this he thrusts through his windpipe and smokes cigarette with his mouth shut He declares that he does not mind being burned and shows a number of sears which he says are from recent electrical experiments
 The puzzle is shy third finger on his left hand. This, he says, was amputated in New Orleans just to show that he would not bleed, and the proposed am putation which he says is 10 take place at Bellevue hospital in New York will be the consnmmation of long and in teresting public career. After that the pnzzle says he will walk back to New Orleans en stilts for a wager and sail for Cuba to enjoy in an affluent old age the fruits of his youthful travel and adventure
 Beno says that he is d half caste Span iard, his mother being "an English man, " but he looks the pure article Bowery Americauism and bears on his arm a number of patriotic emblems in tattooing Washington Post
