fall on him, while they started for the
city TO seek their fortune There are
more farmers in our cities who never be-
come anything more than you would
imagine. When we hear so much about
strikes ana labor troubles We can't help
thinking how the tendency is to live in or
near city for small pay rather than to
"farm it,"
But l guess no argument OF mine will
make any difference, so IL some one will
kindly pass the faded -four, otherwise the
bread, we will talk of something else.
One night in the old Theater Comique,
10 or 20 years ago, a man, pugillst OF
some note in those days, / think his
name was Sheridsn-sat right behind
Professor Willis Work. He evidently
didn't know who he was. At
any rate he made insulting re-
marks for the professor to hear. The
professor heard them. lie turned sud
denly IN his seat, and bis right went out
and Sheridan went down and his eye
went in mourning. The next day Sheri-
dan apologized and five new pupils were
added to Professor Works list. Next
Monday night at Infantry Hall an ath-
letic exhibition will take place in which
Professor Work will take part. Six and
10 round set-to's are down on the card be-
tween aspirants for pugilistic fame.
/ noticed in one of the papers that the
veteran firemen Of the city were TO enter
tain their friends from Johnston with a
chowder and fiashlight picture. Captain
Baker may have something to do with
the chowder, but IL is safe to say that
Artist Morton used his apparatus for the
fiashlight. Mr.. Morton il prepared to
do this particular kind of work. he is
still having run on those s1.50 dozen
cabinets. You know the place, 81 West
minister street.
While driving about the city yesterday
afternoon noticed many improvements
on building and street rsnoyating. A
visit TO Roger Williams Park revealed that
retreat in all its glory of trees and sloping
hills in their beautiful new spring suits OF
green. Later in the afternoon / drove
into the yard of the Dexter Asylum where
found Superintendent Brown superin'
tending new roadway about the
spacious grounds.
Rugs, rugs, rugs, on the walls, on the
door and on the easel. AS fine as human
skill can weave, and interviewer colors
aud designs suggestive OF the tropic
skies OF the Orient. Except when s. Il.
Donchian of Hartford visits this city are
such rugs offered to the public. As Cap
tain Draper, the auctioneer, remarks alt is
seldom the people OF Providence have
such an opportunity to purchase such ex-
traordinary bargains" Today and to-
morrow concludes the sale-110 West
minister street.
They are having cat show in New
York, and the star cat OF the 200 on ex-
hibition is valued at $1,000. Just think OF
II! $1,000 for a cat, and he wouldn't catch
a mouse in a month. IL is said that the
ladies have gone into ecstatic Mysteries
over this latest fad.
A large party at the Aboru street bowl
ing alleys, or the Crescent, as the sign
reads, passed an enjoyable time last even
ing, and all agreed there were no better
alleys in the State.
man is willing a woman should have
way, speaking about man, poor man, do
you know he is just about as
bad If not a little more so than
q woman when he tries to look his pret-
tiest? His moustache is curled and per-
fumed, he has his hair banged or curled |
on the forehead at either side OF the part |
in the middle, and after his finger nails |
are manicured and his boots polished he |
is at peace with the world-which is him |
self. Ladies, do you follow the above PEN
cilings?
There is wax figure with suit of |
clothes on standing beside the mirror in |
The Misfit Clothing Parlors, 1893 Westmin- |
ster street, that might as well say as look |
it: "Ssy, Mr.. Man, I got this suit OF |
clothes here and it's right. II you're taking |
advice get into suit just like it. You |
pay for the making, the cloth is thrown
in."
Because a man "gives everything away"
il is no sign he is charitable.
II doesn't pay to be too particular
about counting q chickens teeth IL the
meat is tender.
The best way to get along is to ride.
