The Paper Hanger

From the Chicago Post.
A paper hanger is a man who promises
by all that he holds sacred to be at your
house on Monday morning at s o'clock,
and sends word on Wednesday afternoon
that he cannot come until Friday.
He brings a bucket of paste and some
shears with him and as soon as he sees
the paper you have bought he says it will
not do. He criticises your taste and judg-
ment and shows you why the pattern is
utterly unsuited to the room, until he
convinces you that you must send the
pa per back and purchase the proper sup
ply from him. although you know very
we'll that he gets a commission. Then he
goes away TO order the paper and you
continue to sleep on the davenport until
the following Tuesday.
You discover ere long that the laws of
paper hanging are as immutable as the
laws of the Modes and Persians, and that
no matter how you want the room
papered you are absolutely mistaken.
If he weren't a paper hanger he would
be a plumber But after this you will
welcome the snail-like plumber gladly.
Gabriel will have to blow several en-
cores before he gets the paper-hanging
brigade to resurrect

lassoing the animal, but every time the
rope was thrown over bruin he would al

Wilson finally succeeded in catching the
animal by one of the hind legs and in
short time the two plucky cowboys had
bruin hog-tied and a piece of wire placed
around his mouth to prevent him from
doing any harm. They brought the bear
to town and will later send him to an

such line the eastern rail wears out
the faster. Both of these points can be
explained by the motion of the earth as
