T MAY be said that mum's the word, meaning, of course, chrys= anthemum. eee TO JOHN BULL—Don't you see, dear sir, that our Grover is un- der the mistletoe? rice THE STOCKING of Mr. Cleve- land will have a good deal of Christmas gout in it. AFTER ALL, there are enough unburt Yale and Harvard men to keep the two colleges going. N THE VIEW of the college student. no man can enjoy the holiday season who hasn’t a broken leg. APAN is a modern nation. It may even be great enough to whip some other powers with the utmost Japanese. THE CZAR is the head of Rus- sia. Nevertheless the old ques- tion is being agitated in the czar’s household, which is the ruler? Par— Mickry—" Do yez think so? Par —" Built fer it? phwat's got as big a mout' as yures.” [F LI HUNG CHANG is to suffer disgrace and death the emperor, to be logically just, must decapitate his entire army. OME BANK-OFFIC itis a fact as old RS have just learned that a thief is a fool: but as the universe and as plain as the sun and stars DOCTRINE FOR THE NEW YEAR—That England must keep her hands off Nicaragua, and if we don’t complete that canal no other power shall. HE EDITOR of the Evening Post weeps copiously over the decline of our public men. That kind of sob comes around at regular inter- s. It is a luxury, but we must have it. see HCEBE COUZINS says there should be only greenback money, be- cause it is shocking for men to waste their lives digging for gold and silver under ground, Dear girl! What a heart she has! ASTOR AND THE TRAMP. THE TRAMP who slept in an Astor bed has won fame. The name of John Garvey may draw crowds to the dime-muscums and dimes from curiosity-seekers. But, as the man who went over Niagara in a barrel “was wont to remark when on exhibition, “What's fame? Fame ain't face, Where every form of vice has left its trace, Wide, slavering jaws to seize and hold its prey, _ Flat, domeless head, where evil held-{ull sway, se Taxer of brothels, sore-eyed with the steams Of drunken revels where the wine-cup gleams; Sleepless with watching at the doors of stews, Snatching the offal that the bawds re- fuse; HIC JACET TAMMANY, A TIGER. Died November 6th, 1894. ERE, children, view in this lugubrious Smirching the ermine on the judge's seat, Trailing in blood the robe o'er Justice's feet ; Peddling the city's honor to the mob, Selling her warrants to the vile to rob ; Making the vicious smile, the virtuous fear, And cheap the way to shame, to honor dear; Leprous as mildewed walls, and in his death Not half so nauseous as his former breath, Keep him in sight, a trophy of the past, All future plans of sin with fear to blast. nothin'.” The severe young Mr. Astor may think otherwise; but his persistence in following the poor wretch may result in the discovery that, so far as he is concerned, it is very much worse than nothing. NEW AND OLD RULERS. THE JUDGE congratulates Nich- olas and Alix; though “the funeral baked meats did coldly fur- nish forth the marriage tables.” Governments go right on, though their chief representatives die like very ordinary persons—a little les- son which new kings and old should consider early and often. Two cor- onations followed the death of the elder William of Germany in quick succession; and it is a good Christ- mas wish that Russia will see no new one in many years. 2 HAS THE QUALIFICATIONS OF A PUGILI * Oi tell yez. phwat, Mickey; yez ought t’ train fer a proize-foighter.” Do yez think Or'm built fer it Oi should shmoile. THAT UNHAPPY RE- PUBLIC. RAZIL as a republic is more unhappy than she ever was as akingdom This isa sorry confession; but you must first get your repub- lic and then your people who are fit to live in it. Spain failed to establish a republican system, and it has taken France a good many years to shake off the perils the experiment involves. But Brazil will settle herself to the new dispensation after a while; and meanwhile every foreign government must keep her hands off of that republic as hard as she can. THE CHALKED HAT. THE PUBLIC OFFICERS of this state are not happy. There is not much of a Christmas for them, and what little there is has a look of decrepitude as if it had been carried over from last year. Free speech and free press are all right, but free pass goes down among the law-breaking which is punished with much severity. And the railroads are not alto- gether ecstatic. They are relieved of a great burden; but those passes were not given for nothing, and some of them brought large returns. THE JUDGE'S BLESSING. THE FE ARE MANY to whom this Christma They are going out of office to earn their living, and they will prob- ably get back to office never again They can remember the prosperity and the good times they have had. however, and if they are fair men they will be generous with their congratulations to the men who take their official places. It was a fair fight, and to the victors belong the brown bird and the smoking pudding. A merry Christmas to the outs and the ins alike, and to everybody else. ‘They are all friends of the JUDGE, and the JUDGE is a friend to all of them. Whoy, dere ain't anny ay thim will not be very merry. comicbooks.com
