JUST A GENTLE HINT.
One Remedy Appearances Indicated

The earl of Surrey, afterward elev-

stripped him as they would corpse

every possible remedy without sue

The last stage coach in New York
has passed away with the sale of
the Fifth Avenue Coach company's
horses, omnibuses, stages and har
nesses. Fifth avenue was the last
stronghold of the old-fashioned stage
coach, and its passing will doubtless
make many an old-time New Yorker
feel a touch of melancholia, for there
is an element of conservatism in us
all which dislikes a rude break with
the past.

A Eoine Bird.

An Irishman who wasn't much of a
hunter went out to hunt one day, and
the first thing he saw to shoot at was
a blue jay sitting saucily on the top
Of a fence. He blazed away at the
bird and then walked over to pick it
up. What he happened to find there
was dead frog, which he raised care
fully at arms length, looking at it with
a puzzled air. Finally he remarked:
"Well, begobs, but We was devil of
