"Thcn if they keep their account and 1

"You don't keep your account, you keep

Joab and the BIoomers.

Joab Huoy, besides having an awful
name, has an awful pr,Erdice against
boomers. Joab lives in .couth Carolina.
When he went to Columbia the other day
he was shocked to sec women riding wheels
and wearing boomers. They didn't do
such things in Tillman county, so Joab
wrote mean letter to a paper, in which
he showed great disrespect for the wheel
women. This incensod the wheclmcn,
and they drew straws to see which should
lick Joab. NJ. L. Spcarman won out and
when Hucy came to town again he was
given the worst licking known in Tillman
county in years 1t must have been a
very thorough one, for it completely
changed Joab's opinion about women and
boomers and bicycles. Buffalo Express.

For Glory md Gold.

Alaska papers tell of a traveller named
Clifton who few weeks ago was making
preparations in Juneau for a journey up
the Yukon river, which he intends shall
extend 1000 miles farther into the mys-
ferrous northern region than any white
man has yet reached. He had hired 20
Indians to accompany him and had
bought several packs of dogs for use in
sleighing. 1t is said his expectations as
to the results of his trip run to great gold
discoveries as much as to geographical
glory.
