The hatchet. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1883-19??, 1900-05-06
CHIPS.

There IS gentleman who L often
meet at the midway" and lately we
noticed he seemed to look depressed,
he was so much so, that we told him
his looks would make his best girl
leave him. He said that was just it,
she was to be married the next day
to a mine owner, he was but poor
clerk. And thus the world goes on
in Washington.
1t is very painful to see proud and
naughty people trying to be civil.
Their appearances is just perfectly
awful to see the abject look they have.
The only way to describe prudery
is hypOcracy.
Some coquCts are only mashers in
inauguration, the most they can do
is harmless to anyone.
Some people preach look out for
tomorrow" We believe it better to
enjoy life while you live, tomorrow
you may die, and some other fellows
will enjoy your hard earned ducats.
Happiness and misery are not
evenly divided. The majority of the
world are out for happiness and get
tired feeling seeking for it, and a
swelled head in the morning.
The musquitto season is near at
hand, aud the search for blood will
soon begin. The Jersey musquitt0
is just anxiously looking for Wash
ington suckers to bleed.
The people whose reason is not
stronger than their passions, are to
be pitied, and are led into many bad
places and mountains of trouble.
If'yod wish to be truly happy, do
not envy your neighbOr just let him
paddle his own canoe, and you will
enjoy your slumbers much better.
You have to be tempted to know
just how good or bad you are. The
fellow who has never been tempted
has yet to be born.
A cunning woman, you should
look out for her, she is to be feared,
when she makes up her mind she
wants thing it has got to come or
something awful will surely happen.
Some people loose by the Il can't
do it," Just try and do the thing
and you will be surprised how well
you do it. We have q new business
manager in The HATCHET office,
Harry c. Bonault, he will give cards
to anyone and knock the chips off
of any managers shoulder in the
city and he has only been in the busi>
ness two weeks.
The House of Representatives
fired one of its members for bribery.
The member told them to 90 to hell
and he would go west again and
make harness.
One of the great reasons 80 few of
us are happy is that we do not enjoy
the happiness of others.
IL is funny how the poor fellow is
told the truth, and the rich are told
a whole bunch of lies. 1t is good to
be poor in that case.
There are people who have so much
conCeit in themselves that they i'm
agine that nothing is done we'll un-
less it is done by themselves. And
yet we find them holding down the
street corners, and thowing the
ICONS" into some poor landlady for
board and lodging.
Senator Clark says that when the
United States Senate throws him out
they can go to "hades" and he will
go west and dig gold.'
1t is a waiting game to depend
upon luck to bring you food to eat.
Lots of fellows have starved right
here in Washington depending upon
luck to bring them food.
Money is like a chaste woman, the
more you have of it the more you
want to get.
