Roberts Andrews, A Spoilsport. RS. STRUGGLES : John, I must have a new dress. Mr. Srrucoies: All right, my dear. How much will you want? “What? I can have itr” “Why, certainly.” “Now, isn’t that just like you, John Struggles! You're just as mean and provoking as you can be sometimes.” “Why, my dear, I don't understand. What under the sun have I done now ?" “Why, don’t you know that half the fun of get- ting a new dress is the triumph of having won it against your objec. tions?” Aler, Ricketts. A Grewsome Fad. T appears that the victims to the Pasteur theory have reached the handsome total of eight hundred and thirty-three. That is, eight hundred and thirty-three per- -, sons have died after being =" inoculated with hydrophobia -f- A at the Pasteur Institute. > And yet the general enthu- siasm over this clever oe <&7S>\ discovery suffers no “e&-—"" abatement. But the discovery is not half so clever as those who work it. The general scheme is this: All persons bitten are counted as doomed ; all who survive are counted as *‘ cured.” Hence the ** good showing.” When one considers the proportion of people who ordinarily die of hydrophobia after being bitten by an angry or excited dog—about one in twenty millions—these eight hundred and thirty-three deaths offer food for thought.

TEDDY THINKS HE WANTS TO RIDE IN FRONT OR NOWHERE, Charity. F you ever find a quarter in your “ pants,” And you want to givo your charity a chance, Do not help a wooden logger, or an organ-grinding beggar, Get your money’s worth and help some “dandy” prance, Any man can help the needy close at hand, Vulgar bread and cast-off clothing they will stand Get your name put in the paper helping Dewoy, that’s the caper, Or some other man with money, fame and land. "isn’t much to keep some lowly ono from starving, Help a widow or an orphan, though deserving — Give to those with wealth and fame, friends and money, mighty name, God and man to smooth their rosy paths seom striving. Then a list of what you give is surely printed ; No’ a doubt but you are generous, is hinted ; Help the prosp-r_us when you may, more than likely it will pay, God alone will know you help the poor and stinted.
