.sWhat is so rare as a day in
June." A fire, the middle Of June,

There is some inducement now for
a man to get a good frescoing with
antique eggs, provided he will choose
the location for the artists to decorate
him, with proper precaution as to
liability for damages. This does not
come under the head of a "Mental
Anguish Suit" but rather, "Demor-
alizing a Sunday Suit" At $500 a
piece for Is stale products of an old
dunghin hen, that were not fit for
anything else, is rapid transit money
making. There are plenty of folks
that would not mind as small a thing
as a decayed egg, if there was $500
in it.

fashioned type, which caught a fellow
by the nape of the neck and seat Q
his waistcoat and gave him a goo
shaking, leaving him with the dam
per turned up, to be soon followe'
nv the opening up of the numerou
little hydrants all over the system
and flooding him with profuse pei
~spiration, causing the fever to sui

three chills of the modern, up-to-dat
variety, with ball bearings, an
nnenmatic tires, whose method of a
tack was characterized by a well de
v"loned "vis a tergo," which PEI
sisted in creeping up and down on

and other attending symptoms, sue

and caused us much concern. Their
