WHEN THE BLIZZARD BLOWS.

Where it's ninety in the shaded
When the icicles, low-hangin',

Jest dream they're in the Julep-
In the green an glimmerin' mint!

Such fellows are kikes, and have
long ached to turn the calcium on
them. A kike is one degree below
the piker in general picayune propo-
sitiOns, such as skinnIng a gnat for
its hide and tallow. The like is
not what might be called close; he
is inside of himself and has the lid
guis1ed from the real tourist by
batch of tangled wn1skers and the
strip Of celluloid he wears around
his neck. There is deep and thought
full method in that combination. The
camphOr in the collar keeps the
moths out Of the whisKers, and the
whiskers in turn omit the cost of
neckties, shirts, diamond studs, soap,
shaves, nankins, and mufiier. The
only change the naked eye can de-

is when the wind shifts and the
whiskers trail off at a different angle.
