Good road resolutions are not un-
like other varieties-they may pave
the way to perdition if not directed

OF brains.-Cambridge North Star.

Stuff Attracts Suffers.
We wonder how much the fellows
get who are running the different
straw votes, now all the rage, for
stuffing the ballot box? The Teddy
