And the very best laugh we have
had yet was when we read “the
leaders agree to let up on work,”
meaning the gentlemen who boss
things in Congress; if ever there was

Os coarse we are all interested in
this anti-vivisectionist talk, but a re

The ladies of Baltimore are not
worried by lack of suffrage, insofar
as “rights” are concerned. One of
the dears got on a jag, fell down the
stairs with a lamp and a baby in her
hands, and another staid out too late,
came home “lit. up” ana her lawful
spouse dragged her round the House
by the back hair.

Those Northern people are very
particular about classifying their
wives; death notice in a paper, one
day last week read, “beloved wi e

“notice of death of BELOVED wife
of So and So” should have read,
“SECOND wife of So and So.”
They’re a careful lot, as we said.

make the conditions which are being
investigated, more aggravating by
their mode of operation.
