FORMERLY: the retired slugger umpired a drinking-place. Now he elevates the stage and manages ball-games, It is prog- ress. SINCE IT WAS announced that the angels of heaven were not women many men have gone to the bad with the utmost ra- pidity. Debs THIS IS ONE of those periods in Spain during which Don Carlos is resurrected for the purpose of putting him under ground again WHAT THE WORKER saves through idleness in the penitentiaries he pays out in taxes for the keeping of convicts in that condition. THE QUESTION whether the Italian off- cers were cowardly in Abyssinia is of course settled in the negative by the wound- ing of Prince Henri, oo? GAM JONES tells just who will go to heav- en and who won't. The less a man knows about the other states of existence the wiser he thinks he is. MR Jacks wren yo' left?” DB: SIMPSON talked seventy thousand dollars out of one meeting at Old Or- chard the other day, and, oddly enough, he folly of wealth. did it by condemning the HALE CAINE gets about twenty-five thousand dollars for his new novel, and half the world is now enjoying itself by suppressing sobs and shedding copious tears. T IS NOT startling to read that Arthur Pue Gorman will retire from politics. The dear man couldn't break into politics again if he were a burglar with all the tools known to the profession. WE CALL the attention of the person who tells how to live on a nickel a day to the astounding fact that a Chicago man had five wives on a salary of sixty dollars a month and that he is still alive. THE CROPS in Kansas this year may be worth a hundred million dol- lars; but the argument in bebalf of the suffering farmer may be kept up because Mrs. Lease can’t or won't pay up a six-hundred-dollars mort- gage. THE MARRIED WOMAN of Altoona, Pennsylvania, who shot a man because he refused to elope with her has thereby indicated the man’s judgment What a time he would have had if he had accepted the invi- tation. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. * Didn't de boss gib yo" a recommend Mr. Jouxson—" Oh, yes. em’s nervine fo’ ‘dat tired feelin’. IMPOSSIBLE, WE CANNOT believe that Mr. Bryan is making twenty-five thousand dollars a year by his talks on hard times, because if that were so the people would be guilty of an extravagance in behalf of a single luxury that would be possible only during a period of great prosperity. THE DUEL IN POLITICS. [7 |S NOT politically safe for a pretender to the French throne to fight a duel unless he kills his man, . Boulanger might have told Henri that. And if he kills his man he will stand about equal chances as between death under the republic and the revolution that might put him on a new and at present totally unexpected throne. A FOOLISH PAIR. A BURGLAR, packing silver, suddenly saw a pretty girl asleep, and immediately stopped his work and kissed her. She awoke and screamed. Of course he ran away, and to her unutterable regret she couldn't catch him. There is a lesson here, Both were too hasty. It will presently turn out that she wanted him to do it again. A HERETIC AGAINST HIS COLLEGE. A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT is created by the discharge of Presi- dent Andrews of Brown university because of his silver proclivities ; but there would have been danger to the university if he had remained. What to do in such cases is a puzzling question; but, happily, men like Andrews rather rejoice in being martyrs, and take resignedly the results of their mental eccentricity. LET THE RULE WORK BOTH WAYS. THE ENGLISH GIRLS who are rebelling against the importation of rich American girls by foreign noblemen have a just cause, but the foolishness of the American heiress is not to be cured. Their better remed import American husbands, with or without wealth, if those desirable gentlemen are not to be caught abroad ; and we do assure them that they will thus get better husbands than if they married a dozen titles at a time. AN EXCEPTIONAL CASE. LICE M. BARNET, the Boston stenog- rapher who committed suicide, was a de- faulter to the extent of three thousand dollars. She speculated in stocks and lost. She tried to burn the books of her employers to hide her guilt, but failed in that. The JUDGE al- ludes to the case as exceptional in the fact that, the guilty person was a woman, and that the amount taken was small. It is lucky for the firm stolen from that the thief was not aman, DEATH AND THE NATIONAL GAME. HE IMPORTANCE of base-ball as it is played in Indian territory may be judged from the fact that the execution of a young Indian for murder was postponed by the gov- ernor of the Choctaw nation from a recent Saturday to the following Monday, to enable the murderer to play with his nine a farewell game. The white man’s respect for the game is not as absurd, but it might occasionally call for the adjournment of congress and that of a few legislatures. BY AUTHORITY? NO American humorists now,” firmly remarks the That was our opinion until we read the quoted words idered the supreme air of authority which attended their utterance. Is it possible, however, for the opinion of one man to be con- clusive in the minds of millions? There are many kinds of humor, and the receptive person may like any kind more than that which the Bookman would select as the only genuine article. GOOD TIMES AT THE NEW DIGGINGS. HE KLONDIKE has no terrors for the new woman. Inside of thirty working hours a dressmaker in Dawson City made ninety dollars, and she naturally says she likes the climate. Women newspaper writers are going from everywhere, and the diggings will presently have as many women as men. This is a great improvement on the experience of the ‘forty-niners. Perhaps the reader will recall a picture in one of Mark Ty books of a long line of gold-diggers taking turns at a knot-hole which reveals to their enraptured sight a thin, small, consumptive woman, a new arrival and the first person of that sex they had seen in years.
