Mallen and the Mexican authorities in
Juarez have been badly imposed on by

duties and are trying hard to break up
the band of renegade MeXicans who
take delight in robbing custom
houses and calling themselves revolu-

Mexicans in catching and convicting
all of these pests of the frontier and

The time is now coming when the
summer girl must choose between the
bicycle and the waltz. 1t is certain
she cannot have both, for long practice
on the wheel so hardens the muscles of
the legs that the lissOm yielding move

but she cannot walz, so, which shall it
be?

Talk about irish bulls, Here is what
the Lord mayor of London said to Am

distilled from the bosom of the English
public that torrent Of fraternal love
which wilt cement the love and atfec-
ton which we, the English and Amer

glish bosom into a distillery is bad
enough, but to extract a torrent of
cement beats Boyle Roche, who smell

the ordinance.
