MUTUAL CONGRATULATIONS.

The farmer had brought in butter and
eggs to sell, and after the grocer had
weighed the butter the farmer said:
mo use counting over the eggs. There's
just Ave dozen"
"All right" replied the grocer. "It looks
now as II we were about to return to
honest days"
ut does that. see that n congress
man has been sent to prison for land
grabbing"
Yes, and those life Insurance fellows
have got some hard knocks"
You bet and they are still after the

And / notice that two or three legls-

the grocer.
And aldermen In three or four cities

Yes 1t really looks as II we might return
to the good old days and be done with
graft forever"
Then they smiled ct each other, agreed
that this world was getting to be better

The Fable for the Week

One day when number of birds had
collected together In a grove to talk over
matters of the day, a Jackdaw made his
appearance among them and said:

whole flock and thereupon each and

been made up the Heron arose and OBJ

We Apologize.

A month ago we gently criticised an
autoist for running down and killing
woman In st. Louis, and two weeks since
we hurt the feelings of another by saying
that he oughtn't to have run over n man
In Brooklyn. Our remarks we're based
on the supposition that the autoists were
having little fun, but 1t now appears
that there is disease of the eye among
them known as "aloyasls," and TINT
chauffeurs and owners cannot be he'd
responsible. In n recent suit 1t Pitts
long a chauffeur testified:
Your Honor. when a woman appears
on the street just ahead OF me. take her
for COW, and thinking a cow able to
take care of herself, | do not slaeken

the judge.

We apologize TO "Aloyasis" We won't

ference between a barber-pole and an
alderman should be trea ted soothingly and
