Humorous. 
The poets oft have mentioned 
That great unequaled snap— 
The lingering of winter 
In spring’s delightful lap. 
But the way things now are going, 
It rather seems to me 
That.wlnter’s got the gentle spring 
Across his chilly knee. 
—Boston Courier. 
He (gazing at the stars): “ I wonder which 
are the evil stars ? ” She : “ The ones that 
wink .”—New York Herald.

you do if you had a million t ” Upson 
Downs : “ Nothing .”—New York Ledger. 
We have been asked if in the water which 
flows in Wall Street there are any fish ? 
There are—suckers, chiefly.— New York

Corralling a drove of horses gives you plenty of 
work for hours. You don’t nave time to think 
what the weather is. You let everything slide, till 
the work is over. But the cowboy is never un¬ 
prepared. When this. “ picnic” happens, what¬ 
ever the weatheq he is not drenched and wet to 
the skin before it’s over, because he is always 
provided with a “ Fish Brand Pommel Slicker.” 
With one of these saddle coats on, you can’t get 
wet if you try. Your entire saddle will be inside 
the coat, and it will be dry, too. Did you ever try 
the Pommel Slicker? Just try one, they cost 
very little. Then no more colds, fevers, rheuma¬ 
tism, and other results to axposure of weather. 
Every garment stamped with “Fish Brand” 
Trade Mark. Don’t accept any inferior coat 
when you can have the “Fish Brand Slicker” 
delivered without extra cost. Particulars and 
illustrated catalogue free.
