Witt SOMEBODY kindly send us some brief humor with regard to the alleged choice of a certain Mr. Hobson? eee THE FIGHTING at home is not serious; but men who want Uncle Sam’‘s bonds elbow one another rather roughly. ARE MEN who muti- late the dead too good to blow up ships in time of peace? Let us not forget to remember the Maine. NDOUBTEDLY A. H, Love, who apolo- gizes to the Spanish gov- ernment, will cry out for the goats at the day of judgment. THE LUXURY OF GRIEF. WRITER says, “The dreariness of most modern dreary novels is gratuitous.” Well, now! how should we get along without the ar- tistic? It is true that it makes us unhappy, but is it not aht? Let us con- sider that gratification is vulgar and go on shedding our prolific tears. DURING THIS CENTURY! HE SAVAGERY that mutilates the dead is the ecstasy of cowardice, ttie childishness of “inreasoning hate, the barbarism that clothes itself in nakedness and beats its breast in rage after the manner of the baboon.” That kind of savage laughs at the sufferings of the starving and finds means for humor in the self-respect of helpless women. A VASSAR VICTORY. THE GIRLS OF VASSAR wanted to raise the flag in honor of the Manila victory; but the president of the college was absent and the other authorities wouldn't give their consent. Did they sit down and weep? Notonce. They climbed to the roof, tore the azure robe of night, and set the stars in glory on the flag-staff. And when the president re- turned he swung his hat for them and ran up two flags more. SONS OF THEIR FATHERS. THE NUMBER of dead heroes’ sons is not so large that everybody must needs make a fuss when one of them gets a slight mili- tary or naval honor. We notice that the “gilded gang” in Roosevelt's regiment—that is, the sons of rich. men —are taking their share of the roughing business with the utmost cheerfulness; and the names Logan, Blaine and Grant are carried by very prom- ising men. Besides, if they make mistakes, with the eyes of the country on them, won't they catch it? WHILE THE’ GUNS GO OFF. oe E LISTEN,” says Ww the Springfield Republican, ‘to the de cious glee of the bobolink over the meadows, to the swift, bright cry or the tender sibilation of red- SPAN ISH TALK of winged blackbirds in the marching on Wash- ington may amount to something.

It had previ- ously been assumed that they had gone to Texas. WILLIAM C. WHITNEY is marked for praise by the Philadelphia Times, and naturally by the Democratic press, because he laid the foundation and started the construction of our existing navy. Perhaps we had better call him the commodore, but he must do some fighting first. THE COLORED EDITOR of the Florida Evangelist says the white people of Tallahassee can raise a company of men in a few hours to lynch a negro at night, but they can’t raise a company of volunteers to fight for their country, It seems to us that that man takes a mean advan- tage of a complicated situation. ~ PATRIOTISM, Ther boys strung up Spanish Joe last night.” bein’ a Spaniard.

It is music from the long- ago. It had been quite forgotten. There has been no spring, and there is no summer, The croaking fe frog, the cawing crow, the droning bee, the humming bird, the bubbling lark had passed out but for this reminder—for which our thanks, thou babbling troubadour. THE ORIGINAL EXPERIMENT. HE MOUNTAIN HOWITZER on a living gun-carriage was an orig- inal idea with John Phoenix a good many years ago. According to that gentleman it was put in practical operation and didn’t work well. The mules had the usual characteristics of their kind and proved unmanageable. They insisted on revolving rapidly, so that the contents of the guns on their backs were distributed pretty evenly between friend and foe; and several of them were kicked by their pieces over as many precipices, and when found were available for no purpose whatever. ILL-GOTTEN GAINS. T IS TOO MUCH to expect that Joseph Leiter's reverses will bring him to poverty and want; but he ought to see the time when a penny additional on a loaf of bread means suffering for himself if for no member of his family. His enterprise is cruel, and it ought to be illegal. Happily, there are a few good lessons in the experiences of men who corner grain and who have come to grief; but it is impossible to present them satis- factorily in view of the successes of some even larger dealers whose mill- ions have descended to their posterity through several generations. comicbooks.com
