THE HOGS ARE AFTER THE DOVES. 



Here is a clipping from the San Francisco 



" Examiner " : 



Marysville, July 31. — The fifth annual outing 

 and dove stew of the Marysville Gun Club, at 

 Shelton's Grove to-day, was attended by about 500 

 persons from different parts of the State, to whom 

 invitations had been issued. Over 1,800 mournful 

 warblers, plump of form and luscious in flavor, 

 were offered in sacrifice to the occasion. 



All these men lack of being hogs is hav- 

 ing a few bristles on their backs. Several 

 of these men returned to the city with as 

 many as 200 doves each, for 2 days' shoot- 

 ing. J. J. J., San Francisco, Cal. 



WHITTIER UP-TO-DATE. 



" I know not where His islands lift 

 Their fronded palms in air," 



But the way things just at present drift 

 The " Yanks " will soon be there.

" You ought to have one of those phono- 

 graphs in your home. It repeats every- 

 thing " 



" I don't need one; my wife belongs to a 

 sewing society." — Cleveland Plain Dealer. 



Mere wealth won't make a man, ah! no, 



As we so oft have said, 

 Some chaps who have a lot of " dough " 



Might be much better bred.
