AS the young people continue to
marry off and settle down to raising
chickens aud household rows, it makes
the editor somewhat lemoncholy to
think that he has hardly any one left to
console him except his old-time friend,
Tom Davis, whom he knew way back
in the forties, and with whom he
served out many q sentence on the chain
gang years ago. when this country WAS
IN its glory in 1.-THE good old days"
gone by. Single blessedness is very
nice thing of IFS kind, but they say
there is nothing like being married
man and waking up about o'clock on
freezing winter morning. with little
brat punching your left eye out with
his heel and raising the roof with a
squall that indicates something radi-
cally wrong with the front part OF the
brat's back. We imagine that there is
nothing half so sweet in life. especially
when accompanied with paregorie, asa

Whenever leap-year comes the editor

ing pestered by these matrimonial in
sects that buzz around his mustache
and almost run him crazy; however,
there is something attractive about
their gauzy wings and crinoline para
phernala, and the next time leap-year
rolls around. the editor has a strong
notion to hang shingle out in front
of his office with this placard on it /:
"Barkis is within" AS precaution-
