Judge's Suggestion for City Seals. PITTSBURG. A Few Murmurs. HE QUESTION that is now seriously agitating certain philosophers is as to whether the aeroplane is not going to be hostile to republican in- stitutions in establishing an order of upper classes who will instinctively look down on their fellow-men. We have no fear in respect to this ourselves. The best of the aeroplanists have to come down to earth occasionally. We hope it is not too late to say that Wellman ought to have known that that equilibrator of his would not work. Darwin teaches us that it was not until he lost his that the monkey became a rational and progressive being. The long and short of it seems to be that the man with a long head seldom suffers from a short pocket. There is one thing about the aeroplane as an auxiliary in warfare that every- body so far seems to have overlooked, and that is that in an engagement an aeroplane corps can take to flight with- out running away. When two extravagant people get married they constitute the match that starts the conflagration that burns up their money, which is a sufficient indica- tion that we should handle the hymeneal torch with unusual care. We don’t know how King George likes the name of that new Canadian warship, which has been christened the Rainbow. We always had a notion that the rain- bow was a sort of promise that the reign was over. From the Pomes of a Punster. T IS arule that men may break, But little birdies keep And never, never do forsake, That talk is ever cheep. Notes from the Basswood Bugle. By ROY K. MOULTON, FELLER was through here the other day sellin’ a patent hair restorer. Hod Perkins bought a bottle and acci- dentally spilled it on the horsehair sofy in the parlor. He has had to go over it with the lawn-mower three times. It is gettin’ so nowadays that a feller can’t get a reputation for bein’ intellec- tual unless he wears eyeglasses. Ren- frew Stebbins wears his all the time, exceptin’ when he reads, Grandpa Skibbs says he sees by the paper the doctors down to New York are tryin’ to cure a feller by auto-sugges- tion. Grandpop says the only auto-sug- gestion he can think of is to dodge, and dodge quick. A MAN OF Algernon Tubbs writes home from New York that, since he bought a three- cornered piano and put it in his flat, he and his wife have to board and room out- side. Miss Pansy Hilliker lost her switch just outside the door of the Golden Nug- get saloon the other day, and when Hank Frisby came out he tried to kill it with aclub, Grandma Perkins says she is just crazy to git to New York to see them lagoons in Central Park. She says a lagoon is a wild animal from South Ameriky, but Grandpa Perkins says ‘she is wrong and that a lagoon is a man-shaped animal, half monkey, that comes from Afriky.
