THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY OF praperlee advertised.” At these words the enthusiasm of the multitude overcame all restraint, and the audience, as one woman, rushed upon the platform and fell upon the neck of Donald. As Mr. Macslushey can go no fur- ther south than Philadelphia, his ter- rier —real Scotch — has been sent on to Baltimore and Washington, where he will bark in genuine Scotch dialect. My Wee, Wee Galoot has reached its ninety-ninth edition, and the publishers predict a yet larger sale for My Bonnie Prafits. Mr. Mac- slushey informed a Lire reporter that the title of his next book will be Goodie Goodie Mac Twoddle, in which all the characters will be clergymen of unquestioned morality, and in which every scene will be tearful. cm SERVICE — The kind you get when the tip is big enough C4 HOORAY FOR DIALECT !
