LI PEAT SeGORS A NLL INDISPUTABLE. IS said Love's blind, and cannot see Just where his darts to aim— 'Tis noticed, though, that spite of this Love gets there just the same. —Harper's Bazar. NarieR’s famous despatch from India announced his victory in, one word, ** Peccavi"—which is, by interpretation, ** I have Scinde.” Very much of the same kind was General de Bourmont’s message to the French War Minister in 1830, when the Dey of Algiers escaped him after being taken. ‘‘ Perdidi” Diem—''I have lost a Dey.” It is said that Drake, when the ships of the Armada turned their sails, sent to Elizabeth the word ‘Cantharides”—that is, ‘The Spanish Fly.” This last is probably a fable.— 7emple Bar. Nor long ago, Sarah Brown, the Parisian model whom “ Paris- ina” told us of last week, wanted one hundred dollars very badly. A painter lent her the sum, but reluctantly, and after making obser- vations and reserves. Sarah felt hurt, and immediately borrowed the same sum of another painter, in order to pay back the money to the first. Accompanying the return of the loan was a note with these words: “‘Je te remercie. J'ai trouve un autre imbecile."—San Fran- cisco Argonaut.

COLONEL STEERS (0f Montana) : It seems to me you New Yorkers are entirely too “‘uppish” and on your dignity. If you only were out where I live you'd see what Western hospitality is! MR. MANHATTAN: I have. I once took a drink with Six-toed Hank of your town at the point of a pistol.— Puck. New York BOopLE ALDERMAN (at railroad depot, disguised as @ fat woman): Here, sir, don't keep a lady waiting! I want a first- class ticket for Montreal. FORMER CONSTITUENT (in ticket office): there going to be another trial ? DISGUISED ALDERMAN: Heavens, Mike, how did you recognize me in Widow Kelly’s clothes ? Ticket SELLER: Why, you have your shawl fastened with the diamond pin that the boys gave you for getting them on the pipes last fall. Better leave it with me, or you'll be caught, sure.—/ew- eler's Weekly. Hello, Alderman, is Maximum Security, Wi Minimum Cost.
