The Inevitable.

You don't want to be called old. but
it's coming. 1t has come with every
body else who has lived long enough,
and it's coming with you. So, keep on

Left Much to Imagination.

Charles Lamb, who said that "a
speaker should leave something TO the
imagination Of his audience" relates
how, on being called on once to return
thanks for a toast to his health, he
rose, bowed TO his audience, and said,
Gentlemen" and then sat down,
leaving it to their imaginatiOns to sup

Woman Who Passed for a Man.

An extraordinary woman is "Wil.
liam Edwards whose sex became
known only when she was arrested
at Brisbane, Australia, recently. Those
who knew her in Melbourne, believing
her then to be a man, as she was
always in mems clothes, state that
she was stronger than most men and
that she was a very good pugilist
When she took it into her head
to enter a bar she was very open
handed with her money. She followed
for a time the avocatiOn of horse
trainer, and owned the racing pony
Tasman. It is also stated that about
six years ago she was married to a
widow.
