Show PRETZELS. by ?? Strauss. Co laborers-Anthracite miners. Lead astray-Bullets, in battle. Avoid making an enemy of a miser-he will give no quarter. Cattle earn their daily food, in the summer, by the sweat of their browse. Hard case, that which happened in the suburbs. A man turned to stone! We should have said the man was a hard case, and turned to stone a dog, breaking the poor creature's leg. Bliffer's wife had the dropsy and the poor man sent five miles for a cobbler because a neighbor said that she must be tapped, at once, to save her life.-Boston Journal of Commerce.

Miss Florence Toole, the fourteen year old daughter of the comedian, is described as the possessor of remarkable literary ability, and it is thought that her father will presently be able to get his pieces written for him at home.-Boston Traveler. There is nothing like having the Tooles in the house when one wants to construct a play. |
