At the G9th bowl lie proposed a toast. “My retainers — the more of them I have, the less I am able to retain !” Now this was a hint that my lord did not absolutely bang the expensso, as the feudal manner was, but for all that every horn was drained in honor of the sentiment. Heard on the Beautiful . iShoro.— “AVhy don’t Jinks walk on the pearly streets?” “He’s'afraid they were laid with union labor.” _ “Merciful heavens! AVlia.t is that noise?” pleaded tho nervous one. “It’s just those Irishmen at it again. They want the next sunset green instead of orange.” “What was the row at the banquet?” “Why, that young agitator angel—whathisname—said that we'd never e-nt any more ambrosia if we ever saw the way it was canned.”
