Herbert. The Greatl

Our Governor, Herbert Hadley,
has called around him his news
bureau agents and told them of
his great achievements, and they
have heralded over the country
By all the known methods of
communicating with the outside
world. He tells us he has strip
ped the stripes from convictS, re
duced railroad rates, reduced the
cost of fire insurance, raised the
price OF convict labor, is going to
canal from the lakes to the gulf,
is going to tunnel to the north
pole for ice water, and viii in
augurate many other reforms.
Great Herbert,
AS he looks upon the spread
ing fields about him he says,
my earth.' He gazcs at the
vaulted dome above him and he
says, my sky!'' The fragrant
treezcs blow in gentlest defer
ence by him and he says, 'my
air. Beyond in the clear dis
tance shimmerS a line of silver
that tells of the restless old Mis-
souri, and he says, my river!''
Behind the purple hills stretch
with familiar nod of possession
he murmurs, my mountains!
The earth, the sky, the air, the
rivers and ocean and hills are
his-h thienks. Why doth this
great round globe revolver Be
cause the most high Hadley hath
so ordered it. Who is it that
supports the mighty sky? Hadley,
who set the sun in its midst and
babe it burn there, and stuck
stars about it. Whence comes
the air? IIadley commanded il
to be and it was. Who set the
= tides in motion and babe the o.

Fleshy women are caricatures. But
then thin ones are, too. The new
dyes seem to take better in home
spuns, serges, etc. The brighter dyes
are seen in cashmere de sole, satin

The latter stuffs are much prettier,
because more vivid, yet by the side of
the rusty shades they appear abso-
lutely loud.
There is no doubt that an epoch of
dark or dull colors is upon us, to re-
main perhaps some years. 1t began
early in the autumn, when black and
black trimmings were all the rage,
This spring it has been continued,
though in duller results.
There is no life whatever about the
dark tones, and the lighter ones are
faded aud hard, yet quite attractive.

WORDS OF WISDOM,

1t doesn't make a man smaller to
have shrinking disposition.
Why does the actor always feel
tina. it is necessary to make a show
OF himself?
No man can invent an excuse orig
inal enough to be patented.
The man who can make a dollar
go furthest can't always make 1t
come quickest.
The trouble about looking up to
people is that it encourages them to
look down on us.
Don't kick. Even the butchers are
not all beefers.
The father of twins can't be
blamed II he has deuce of a time

Many a fellow gets a skate on who
was never in a rink in his life.
The average clerk has his hopes
raised more frequently than his sal
ary.
A clock has more sense than a
man. When it's all run down 1t stops
working.
Riches take unto themselves wings.
A fiier in the stock market often
proves 1t.
Don't drink beer in hot weather,
especially in dog days. 1t will make
you froth at the mouth.
