The Boomer Blooms.

People may laugh if they want to,
and it is hard to restrain il, but de-
spite all ridicule, the sharpeSt and
deadliest of weapons, the boomers
are doing exceedingly well, In the
east they are everywhere and always
in evidence. The cities are literally
blooming with boomers Only few
months ago in classic Ann Arbor an
elected from her boarding place
simply because she appeared at table
in a bicycle bloomer suit. She lost
her board but stuck to her boomers
and won martyrdOm. She was
thought eccentric but now she is adj
mired as the leader of the latest style.
Then there is Gilmore, Ohio. We
cannot tell where this town may be,
but it must be on the map. Twenty
four of ElmOre'S daughters have
sworn to wear no skirts save of the
bifurcated sort, which, by the un-
initiate may not be distinguished
from knickerbockers Their fathers
and young men are in distress, but
that is only because they know no
better. What insight have they into
the aesthetic value of such things?
There may be blgpmers in Gilmore
when all the younymen are dead or
bald.
These are trifies only-mere breaths
or pantlets of wind, SO TO speak
precursing the cyclone that is to blow
over the land, carrying with it the
last yestiges of the Old-fashiOned skirt.

but il is dOOmed.-State journal.

We nineteenth century people are
fond Of telling the splendid story Of
Civilizations progress in the last hun
dred years, counting the great inven-
tions that have the ends of the earth
near aeignbors and enhanced 50 great
~ oar comfort; and we look back with
a sort of pity on the ancient peoples
of Greece and Rome. Bot, except in
science and invention, we are superior
to those people? In sculpture and in
philosophy we are still initiating them
and have not yet equaled their m odelS.
In physical culture and hygiene we
can show no better results than the
Greeks of two thousand five hundred
years ago, and our strong men are no
stronger than theirs. Winship and
Sandow can be matched dozen times
over by the ancients Milo the Greek
carried four year old OK four times
around the Olympian race course
without resting. Samson made him.
self Immortality famous by his acts,
though he is suspected to have been
an advertiser as on one occasion he
took two solid columns to show his
strength, and at the performance
brought down the house. Our real
strong men of today are men Of strong
| minds, who build up and control the
railroad systems Of our country. No
| columns of reading are needed to
demonstrate this-merely buy your
ticket via the Burlington Route when
| you go to Chicago or st. Louis and you
will be satisfied that those who built
| it and keep it in the front are among
| the ''strong men," Ask your home
agent for tickets over tn Burlington,
or write to w. J. @. Kenyon, Gen. Pass.
