A LOCAL exclian < re strikes out from the shoulder in this way : "It is cer tainly very funny to hear u man howl ing about patronizing1 home indus tries , when he uses a rubber stamp to make the most horrible daubs of letter heads and cards with which nice white paper is spoiled. Most men's ideas of patroni/ing home industries is for everybody else to do it. " A man's brains weighs three and half pounds. A woman's brain is somewhat lighter , but of finer quality.

BAICXUM'S great white elojhijit hymn for next season will be : "Just as Siain without one flea. " CitusiiKU strawberry color is not now considered the correct thing. The newest color in fashion is "the- inside of a mule's ear by starlight. " IT is oflicially reported that a pat ent has been applied' for on uan ad justable dog's tail. " A great profit may be now enjoyed in retailing canines. N exchange saya that Noah was the first pitcher an record. He "pitch ed the ark within and without. " The game was finally called on account of the rain. BOSTOX girls never say "He is a gone goose. " When a lover is ob served to be idiotically sweet on any particular young lady , the other girls refer to him as "a departed aquatic flower of the genus anser. " "AnE you certain of securing the diadem ? " asked the minister of the dying man. And Avhen the man said that "he did'nt want to diadem bit , " the minister and the doctor flew and , as a natural consequence , the man got better. AT a station in Montana , the other day , a Boston girl stuck her ligad out of a Northern Pacific ear and exclaim ed : "The bewildering wojnance which crowns this twansaendental scenery with such indescwibable fascination , and tinges its evewy featuh with such overpcw'ing interwest quite bweaks me up ! " And a number of members j ] of the local vigilance committee standing onjhe platform look grimly j into each other's faces and .muttered , "Oh ! if it was only a man JM Bismarck - marck Tribune , FOE a woman of spirit , commend us to Mrs , Fred Dopier , of Ouray , Colorado , Her liege lord had a habit of squandering his money at the gam ing'table. Poker wds his inajjja , and he always bet high , but the in variable result was that he was .cleaned out before be could leave the .table. This habit of Fred's -was .quite inconven ient to Mrs. Fred , as if deprived her of a fair share of his earnings , and as he seldom or never had any winnings it may be surmised that the family exchequer was in a state of continued collapse. Now Mrs. Fred was a wa- man of spirit , as all women ought to be. So one night , shortly after Fred sat down to the fascinating game of draw she entered .the den arjd secret ed herself behind a .curtain where she could overlook the play. Luck ran Fred's way , and he soon had a fine pile < of coin before him. His fortune culminated in a big pot , he holding four tens against .several hands of but Httle less .value. Just as he showed down the winning Beards. , Mrs. . Fred glided from her place of concealment , swept the pot and Feed's pile into her apron , and quietly went thence. JSot having enough left to go .in .the juext deaj , the subsequent proceedings in terested Fred no more. "When he sobered up and went , hQme.next day , ie found the cellar -stocked with a six months ! .supply of provisions , the children # U warmly and neatly dressed - , ed , and his .wife .wearing .the first new cloak.she .had .owned for fiye years. . Mrs. Fred's .call , though , not.strictly a , fashionable one , was well timed ahd .very productive of good results. .
