A publisher once gave the follow
ing: Woman, the fairest work in all
creation. The edition is large, and no
man should be without a copy"
This is fairly seconded by a youth
who, giving his distant sweetheart
said, "Delectable dear, So sweet that

Further, in regard to the fair SEX, we
have: "Woman-She needs no eulogy
She speaks for herself" Woman, the

it occurred to me that l had better
take another look at it by gaslight.

of inspection and went into the dining
room. 1t was a baImy summer night,
and as 1 threw open the window I
heard a peculiar tapping sound.

There was silence for a moment, and

the caretaker and laughingly said:
See here, my friend, know why
this house is cheap. There's a ghost

of reassuring me. That's only the
noise from the coffin factory across the
way, sir. They hoften works there
