SHARKEY, pugilist, proposes a ladies’ day, when ladies will be permitted to see him punch the bag. Let him adopt the programme of Mrs. Langtry and get a few bar-maids to pass around the refreshments. eee AN ABSENCE of news from South Africa would seem to indicate that General Buller contemplates taking up the shores of the Tugela with the purpose of using the intervening waters for the replenishment of the Thames, eee RS. DE BATHE says that though she is here her heart is on the road to South Africa. The lady should get control of that organ some- how. It has had its own way a good many times and has got her into a good many scrapes. «¢6(7OMMERCIAL TRAVELERS,” says Colonel Bryan, “don’t want to sell goods acquired by conquest.” Very sensitive men, those commercial travelers. Feelings easily hurt, and no plaster of dollars can heal the injuries. T IS WRONG, think the Atkinsons, to go to the other side of the world and fight to keep our own property, but it is right to go there for the purpose of expressing sympathy for a foe with which our best friend among foreign powers is at war. eee PETTIGREW says that if he were a Filipino he would fight tll he was gray, unless sooner killed, And he wouldn't be killed. He would immediately adopt the Filipino war-cry: ™ He who fights and runs away Will live to fight another day.” { wh NN Nas \ NOTHING TO FEAR FROM HIM. Fisit—"* That's all right, mister. Don't be so scared ; I won't hurt you.” FORCIBLE FEEBLENESS. T A MEETING of anti-expansionists in Philadelphia B. K. Stevens several times mentioned the president as “that murderer.” What these people lack in common sense is supplied in falsehood and attempted severity; and that is a common weakness of weak minds. They want to be heard and they want to be noticed. BICYCLING REVIVES. LL OVER THE LAND JuDGE notes a general revival of bicy- cling. For a year or two wheeling has seemed to go backward, due perhaps to a lack of unity among manufacturers and harmful cutting of prices. There is no sight prettier than a party of bicyclers on a day's pleasuring, and it is gratifying to note the revival of the sport. INDEED! ANSAS CITY isa good-cnough place to hold the Democratic national convention, but why did the national committee select the fourth of July? There is nothing patriotic in that party. Its chief idea is opposi- tion to national progress, and its chief talk is abuse of the patriotism which advocates and fights for the prosperity of the nation and the glory of the flag. It would make the results of the existing war barren and void, and it openly gives aid and comfort to the enemy. The fourth of July indeed! BLOOMER. WE ARE REMINDED of Mr. Bloomer of Iowa by the fact that he has just died. Other- wise he would never have been recalled by the world which had forgotten him. Yet his name was at one time in everybody's mouth and the garment having his name clothed the nether continuations of many women. The garment was invented by his wife, but she died and he sank to his original obscurity. The bloomer trousers were convenient and healthy and relieved their wearers of great weight and some awkward re- sponsibility ; but they looked like thunder and the boys made fun of them. Mrs. Stanton indorsed them and wore them on one occa- sion. She went out with a brave front, but she went home through the back street, followed by many hoodiums; and when she got there the trousers were kicked in- to a far corner with the remark, “Darn the things !"— the only NO USE TO HIM, B'GOSH ! ** Hey, pap! what d'ye do with them rubber life-preservers what belong to your new wheel?” L tuck the pesky things off—they made me bounce too gol-durn much.” ** D'ye mean them wind-bag tires ? time she ever used that naughty word. But Bloomer had made his fame just the same. comicbooks.com
