HOBSON is MUCH ADMIRED.

Among the animals of education,
Lieut.. Hobson classes himself in the
lead. The JOhnsons had been caring
for the bathers at Chicago's Mannat-
tan Beach during the last three sum-
mers, and frequenters of the resort
know HObson. He sits on the dock
and watches for careless bathers"
Thus far read as slowly a thrill of
horror crept up my spine; and furtively
glanced to see if anyone had heard
me think it. looked at the top of the
column, and was somewhat relieved to
see this heading:
CHILDREN TO SEE THE DOGS.
LAST DAY OF THE BENCH SHOW
SET APART FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS.
Then 1 read on:
"About his neck is life preserver,
which is fastened to the collar by
rope, and bears this inscription: "Take
this and hang on. I'll do the rest"
When bather's head goes under the
water and fails to appear again Hob
son knows. He can tell a drowning
man as far as he can see him, and he is
off the pier before anyone else could
have known. Straight out to the help
less one he swimS and back again,
bearing the victim either in his mouth
or in tow. For seven years Hobson
has been doing this ard many name
is on his honor roll. His name before
HObsOn became celebrated was Jack,
plain and simple, now he wears all the
laurels of fame of Richmond P.
HObsOn."

From the chapel we now retreat to
our cells and resume delving in our
choice works which with the pipe
keeps us fully engaged. Since the dim
light that pervades the closely
partitioned apartments brings reading
under difficulties and soon turns into
monotony, ofttimes, one is very desir-
Gus to change the course, and get a
little action to our blood; but hereto
we are hampered, since regulations
forbid any disturbance and require the
utmost quietude. Thus we are always
doubly anxious to avail ourselves of
any opportunity to get out of our den,
be the extra labor what it may.
From this condition, we reach the
dinner table tagged and fatigued, with
but little appetite.
The balance of the day is spent ex.
clusively in coop, and is long siege
when you consider the close quarters,
and that it is, and even would be under
particular effort next to impossible to
ventilate the closely partitioned quar-,
ters with any degree of satisfaction
and if feasible, the requisite draft
would become hazardous.

proceeded to address the leg of the

THE WORLD THROUGH
BLUE GLASSES.
BY DANIEL O'CONNELL.

Daniel O'Connell, our local Cyrano
De 3ergerac, having some trouble with
his eyes, decided to try the local rest
cure for their benefit.
For some time Dan has been gazing
on the world through blue glasses, with
result that many of his thoughts are
tinged with the same color.
After his first days rest Dan took
Nurse Gallagher into his confidence
and regaled him with gems of Jasmar-
ian philosophy, from which the fol-
lowing are culled:
If George Washington never told a
lie, he must have endured many pain
full intervals of silence.
~
God never made man to have him
trussed up to door in this fashion.
s..
The man who tells you that nobody
cares if he lives or dies, is bum boost
er, and the "COntinuous Performance
he is giving the world must be pretty
rotten.
This misfortune teaches me that
am not the only bucket on the gallery.
x*4
No! No! Nurse, you misunderstood
mel don't object to the ladies wear
ing mems hats, cuffs, collars, shoes and
vests, on the ground that it makes
them look mannish. My objectiOnns
are based on the grounds that it makes
a great many of our young men look
so girIish.
**x
AS rule the homeIy girls are smart
er than the pretty ones: but few men
have nerve enough to tell the pretty
ones, so.
The man who is always striving for
things that are beyond his reach, fire.
quently gets others equally as good.
In the dining room, you reach for the
vinegar and draw the mustard.
~
The reason that none of the female
prisoners are poets, is, that poets are
born, not maid.
***
The man who says he is cOntented
may be all right; but in the procession
of life, he is sure to carry the water
bucket, instead of riding on the band
wagon.
***
If you say wise thing, let it be fol.
lowed by foolish thing, or no one will
associate with you.
