Oh, dear sir, we are—we are. Heov MANY woman Hoppers have sued to keep de Wolf from the door? T IS URG women ug handsome doesn’t. T SEEMS ODD that because Dr. Funk's Voice hates liquor-sellers it wants to destroy the colleges. THE DEATH of Admiral Popoff, aide-de-camp to the czar, shows that he was capable of dying up to his name. that century runs make so that handsome is as MARRIAG are advised by a re- former on the “seven-years" lease system.” Is there an actor who wants to marry for so long a time as that? Tus EASTER proclaims war on earth, bad willto men. Even the hen cackles for war, and the illuminat- ed egg shows battle and destruction. THE EXPLOSIONS of John Wana- maker have lifted M. S. Quay sev- eral times, but he always remains in- tact and settles back in the same spot. HE WAR APPROPRIATION again reminds Spain that we are a nation of shop-keepers and argues that we are doing a first-rate business. WILL THE LADY who proposes a regiment of cavalry made up of women kindly tell us whether the regiment is to be provided with side-saddles ? der past. had noddings to live for now.’ Wittiam L. WILSON regrets that so much power has been put in the president's hands. Too much power is just enough power on these occasions, professor. ANY BOSTON LADIES have petitioned for a modification of the theatre-hat enactment. We suppose this means that they want to wear their hats through half the performance. THE DEMAND of Charlotte Smith that the secretary of war enlist thirty thousand women to fight Spain is not entirely wise. Doesn't history show that married women are the best fighters? +e] F ALL the daily newspapers had been stopped six months ago,” says Mr. Platt’s Quigg, “the country would be better off.” The man appreciates himself, It was about six months ago, we believe, that he left the press to go into practical politics. LIFE'S BRIGHTNESS GONE. Vell, Repecca, our di’munt vedding is now a t'ing ohf Ms Cone (mournfulh))—"* Ves; 1 vas shoost tiinking dot ve THE RIGHT MAN. ‘THEODORE ROOSEVELT as the acting head of the navy department gives great satisfaction just at this time. He is not always wise; but he is at least patriotic, wide-awake and thoroughly alive. There is energy enough in him to get up a war and fight it out all alone by himself. THAT HONEST MAN. ARK TWAIN has made the fortune needed to pay off his debts, and has still time to make others to put in his pocket. He is more read than any other writer, and a fortune comes to him yearly now. And he writes more and better at sixty than he ever did before. If he might live ten years more he would be a millionaire several times over. A FAR-OFF QUESTION. RE THE CUBANS capable of self-government? Well, anyhow, they are capable of better government than the Spaniards give them. Let us not bother about that part of the business till we get to it. There was talk a hundred years ago to the effect that we were not capable of self- government, but the British were sent home just the same. CANDIDATES TO DATE. UDGE PARKER thinks he will run for president, and the silver men of this town prefer him to Mr. Bryan because the latter encouraged George instead of van Wyck. J. R. Sovereign proposes also to run for president, and Seth Low's friends are * hinting darkly that he will be their can- didate. Mrs. Lease has not yet an- nounced herself, and Mr. Coxey is con- sidering the situation. THE NEW SERVANT. THE SERVANT-GIRLS of Topeka, Kansas, have organized and de- clare that their visitors shall be allowed to enter the front door and be enter- tained by them in the dining-room instead of the kitchen, Why not the parlor? And when the visitors are numerous why shall not the family occupy the kitchen and give up the rest of the house to them? For fami- lies live to serve servants, and not serv- ants to serve the family. HONOR, IS IT? PANISH NEWSPAPERS declare that American efforts to relieve the starving people of Cuba are attacks on Spanish honor, What kind of honor is that which deliberately murders by starvation and forbids relief at the hands of a Christian nation? What kind of hearts must men have who look indifferently upon the dying of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children? If that is Spanish honor it ought to be an- nihilated. THIS UNHAPPY WORLD. A CLERGYMAN of this town says the earth will pass avway before the year two thousand. “It was two thousand years,” he says, “from the creation to the flood, two thousand years from the flood to the birth of Christ, and I think it will be two thousand more years, or within that time, that the end of the world will come.” If this doesn’t prove to be correct we shall pay no more attention to these world’s-end prophets. They have cruelly deceived us quite often enough. MR. MOODY’S GLOOM. MB: MOODY thinks if Christ offered to rule here as he does in heaven he would be adopted by neither political party and the majority would vote him down, Evidently Mr. Moody believes that the popocrats are growing in strength and number; but he ought to give the majority some little credit for intelligence. While ignorance and egotism go to- gether and are powerful, there is such a thing as common sense, And besides Mr. Platt is not going to live always. comicbooks.com
