An exchange admonishes woman to

vented the tissue paper dress pattern.
He is dead; yet will his work live
after him. Several hundred years

basque pattern. To this very day, in
the rural districts, may be seen it's

The young woman who bet 1000
kisses on election and lost to young
man grasping enough to claim the en-
tire 1000, is no longer the limit. In
an Illinois town an editor ran for
mayor. How he secured the nomina-
ton is not known, but it is presumed
nobody was looking at the time.
There lived In the place an amorous
young woman who bet that an editor
couldn't be elected to so important a
civic position. SO positive was she
in her horoscope analysis that she
wagered a wheel-barrow ride with a
young man of the town. The loser
was to wheel the winner through the
main street in mud cart. The
woman's foresight was not as good as
her hindsight, and she lost, making
good her bet after the horrid winner
had insisted. A great crowd gathered
to see the sight. Fancy a woman
pushing man-laden wheelbarrow the
length of the business street, Those
who saw The fiasco say she squared
away nobly in the muddy street, spat
ON her hands, rolled up her-well, this
thing has gone far enough But 1t is
surmised that hereafter she will be
less positive in her powers of
prophecy.
