and, what does he do, but takes a
couple of them, wraps them up
nicely in tissue paper, boxes and
stamps them and addresses Mon
sieur Cucumbers to the aforesaid
guard. When relieved from duty,
he hands the express package to

very philosophical manner; but
since he has changed his boiled
shirt and stand up collar for a
flannel shirt, he must be doing
considerable thinking and sweat
ing under the collar.

Upon Being Released From His Sixth
Term In Prison.

To go, and where to go, that is
the question. Whether it is better
to take the twenty-five plunks and
HE me to St. Paul, and reaching
there, plunge at once into the
midst of the gay and giddy throng
that congregates nightly around
the throne of Old Gam brinus? Or,
perhaps, I'd better take this
dough" and wander down the
pike and rustic me a job.
But there's the rub; for labor
with my constitution did never
agree, nor set we'll on my digestive
apparatus. So. on second thought,
methinks I'll not do either, but
catch the RATHER and hurry toward
Chicago. There, [ will meande1
down South Clark Street and after
the shades Of night have fallen,
I'll make Rome howl.

A practice fire alarm was rung
into the officers quarters, from the
prison yard fire station, a few
nights since. AS the officers we're
rushing out to the shops, the gate
bell from the dollhouse sounded.
Hearing this the turnkey threw
up his hands and exclaimed
"Mine Colt, vat will I do? Two
fires und der dollhouse vas not in
sured."
