ARE AROUND.
Ed. Howe, the famous Kansas funny

the December American Magazine in
which he says:

man, she feels as important as the mar
shall of the day at a country Fourth Of
July celebration and however amiable
she may be at other times, she is very
'bossy when she has medicine to give a
man, or lotions to put on him; if he wants
drink of water, she expresses the opin-
ion that he is drinking too much, and re-
members that her aunt Harriet's hus-
band once drank great deal when he
was sick, and had commissions. If the
sick man becomes impatient, and says
the medicine is doing no good, she re-
minds him CURLY that time is neces-

They nail the Colosseum down.
A great Collector! Once his Fad
Was Coins, but when in time he had
Collected all the coin in sight,
To Europe's Art his thoughts took flight
But let not Europe palpitate
For fear of Art Syndicate.
There are more Rembrandts, strange to say,
Than ever were in Rembrandt's day;
And statues planted in the sand
Will always equal the demand"
MR.. GEORGE AIDE.
Somehow always like to think
OF Georgeade as a Summer Drink
Sparkling and cool, with just Tang
Of Pleasant Effervescent Slang;
great Collector! Once his Fad
And Cure for Moral Indigestion.
In Summertime, beneath the shade,
We find Retire. shment in Georgeade
And mid the Searching City's roar
We drink him up and call for more
often wonder what the Trade
Buys half SO precious as Georgeade.'
