"Now," said the old fogy bachelor
'that the war is over, it would be just
my luck to have those laundry people
put about 164 new pins in each of my
shirts each week. Darn the pins,
anyhow"
They say that ex-Emperor Charles
of Austria has no food or clothes. He
evidently forgot to lay aside some
thing for the unreigny day.
Samuel Butler says that the style

: face of some old woman who has been
to Madame Rachels, and had herself
enameled The bloom is nothing but

Silver Springs threatens to be very
popular place next Thursday after
noon, since it is the talk of the city
that the thinnest girl in town is 60
