HE RIDER who tumbles is the man who is broken at the wheel too. PANISH HONOR is an irritant. It would be better if it would make the Spanish fly. ON'T ARGUE with the editor who continually remarks ‘keep He's so excited that he’s half cool. crazy. THE TEXAS is the black sheep of our navy ; but we trust the other vessels are not as black as they have been painted. 'O DR. SCHENK—In case of twins, boy and girl, what might be said of the diet of the lady assuming their responsibility? VASSAR GIRLS are now permitted to remain up after ten o'clock; “but,” say they, " with only one kind of company what's the use ?” PUGILIST SULLIVAN says Ed- ward Everett Hale is a greater man than himself. This is graceful and generous, but we had suspect- ed it. | NDEMNITY TO SPAIN for getting out of Cuba is reasonable enough. It ought to be about the amount of indemnity we might reasonably ask of Spain for the destruction of the Maine. GOVERNOR LEEDY is said by the Kansas city Star to have greatly damaged his reputation for common sense. So he had something of that kind about him, did he? IF THE WOMEN must fight let us suggest a few bicycle regi- ments; every wheel to belong to a tandem with a man at the rear to do the propelling, while the women operate the destruction, eee [IF WE HAD had war with Spain over the Virginius affair how many lives, how much treasure and how much suffering at this late day would have been saved! The time to fight is the first time that national honor calls for it. THE SPIRIT of George M. Pullman promulgates through a it receptacle that it is not happy because (George te- fused during life to divide with his workers, share and share alike. Let us therefore look upon death in his case as not only a change but a miracle, . A SAD: DISAPPOINTMENT. Major BLupGup—"*So you were disappointed in Bar Harbor, sub?” Major THREEFINGERS—*Vawstly. majah. you believe it, it derives its name from a bar that is actually situated undah watah, sub.” A WAR ON WOMEN. HAs IT OCCURRED to the peace people that the women of the reconcentrados are subjected to the insolence and insult of Spanish soldiers and that neither they nor their husbands and fathers and brothers have the right of defense, to say nothing of retaliation? That is a situation as horrible as the awful fact of wholesale starvation. * ALL FOR THAT BOY. THE QUEEN REGENT says the surrender of Cuba would in- jure the dynasty of which she is the guardian for the king. That is very sad; but does it not occur to her that four hundred thousand innocent men, women and children have been made to surrender their lives in behalf of his little majesty? Not to men- tion some hundreds of thousands of Spanish soldiers and some millions of money lost by the business interests of this country and some others, AOS 4 THE WORLD: AWHEEL. THE JUDGE celebrates the bicycle. . It has gone into all lands and conquered all peoples. Of the builders of it their name is legion ; and of the riders behold they. are an innumerable host. It brings health. It gives women and children a freedom of action and an independence they never had before. All the roads that know it afe roads to happiness. And is,there a pret- tier sight than a graceful, pretty girl - on the-bicycle? Not any that these eyes have beheld? WHY? CCAROLUS DORAN says the peo- ple of this country are “elegant types,” ‘ brave and kind,” and artist- ic as well; but we have no doubt that some of the smart reporters will presently announce that he has been abusing them as badly as if they were a nation of pickpockets. Why this should be it is difficult to tell; but the experience of Anthony Hope and a good many other forcigners who have been with us shows that that kind of malice and falsehood is al- ways with us. FAIR PLAY FOR THE YELLOWS. ROVER CLEVELAND wrote Mr. Hearst's paper, declining to serve on a committee, that he didn’t want to turn his sorrow over the Maine into a means to advertise the paper in question. Whatever the advertising motive of Mr. Hearst in organizing the committee, the enter- prise itself was commendable, and a great many good men were very willing to act on the committee. Does it do any good to treat a courtesy in that brusque, discourteous way? While the Journal is jocund, jubilant and exceedingly loud, there is not a more generous soul than its proprietor, and his money has relieved a little world of misery and pain. Why, would WEEPING. BABES. MBS. STANTON’'S APPEAL to the board of health of. this. town for relief from the crying of three children living in a flat adjoining her own is very pathetic. The mother of the chil- dren, so far from sympathizing with her, says she hopes to have twelve children altogether, and that she will keep the flat during the time necessary to their production. Undoubtedly the annoy- ance is great, and the consequerit insomnia may destroy health ; but if all the annoyances of .this world might be removed we should be so happy as not to yearn for heaven. , And does Mrs. Stanton recall the remark made by Mrs. Partingston in response to the words of a spinster that she couldn't bear children? ‘‘Per- haps,” said the old lady gently, “ perhaps if you could you would like them better.” comicbooks.com
