What is Man?

Man that la born of woman is
OF few days and full of microbes.
Sorrow and headache follow
him all the days of his life.
He hoppeth from his bed in the
morning aud his foot is pierced
by the tack of disappointment.
He sitteth himself down to rest
at noonday, and is lacerated in
his neither anatomy by the tack of
disaster.
He walketh through the streets
of the city in the pride and glory
of his manhood, and slippeth on
the banana peel OF misfortune and
unjointeth his neck.
He is stupg by the mosquitoes
of annoyance by day and his frame
is gnawed by the bedbugs of
afiiiction at night.
What is man but the blindworm
OF fate?-seeing that his days are
numbered by cycles of pain and
his years by seasons oe mournih g.
In his infancy he runneth,Jover
with worms and collie, and in
his old age he groaneth with
rheumatism and lngrowing toe
naile.
He marrieth a cross-eyed wo-
man because her father hath a bank
account, and fndeth she is rid
den with hysteria and believeth
in witches.
He exalteth himself among the
people and swelleth with pride,
but when the votes are counted he
finds that he was not in it.
He trusteth in a man who
claimeth to be filled with right
eousness and standeth high in the
synagogue, and gets done up.
For behold his pious friend is
full of guile and runneth over with
deception.
From the cradle so the grave
man giveth his aims to him that
smiteth him.
His seed multiplieth around
him and crieth for bread, and if
his sons come to honor he know
eth it not.
What is man but painful wart
on the heel of me.-Ex.

A Western editor, who believed

so common among all newspaper
men, of slobbering over people In
order to curry favor and tickle
their vanity recently wrote up a
wedding in the following manner:
"Willie Shortlike and Annie

bride. The young couple took the
morning train for St. Louis, where
they will spend more money in a
few days than Willie can earn in
three months.
Willie says now that he is mar

Some of our merchants think lt
would have been better If he had

salary of $27 month, which is1
about the allowance Annie mas
