Show The Bore. He was positive and emphatic, and could talk a man rheumatic, for Ills thoughts were quite insufferably insuf-ferably unique; v He would spout forth like a geyser, or a circus advertiser with bis vast un traveled solitudes of cheek. He would yank into the sanctum, ' where so many cranks had yanked 'em, and propound his wealth of proud preposterous lore, While the editor and devil lost their perpendicular bevel and rolled in writhing torment on the floor! He would go and bore his grocer who couldn't answer, "yes" nor "no, sir," for he gave no time for parley to reply; And" sinner, saint and deacon, wlien he came at once would weaken, and extend their folded white . wings and sail away to die.
