Rio Grande BUxztutl Plays Havoc, El l’aso. Tex.. Dec. 11.—El Paso to day experienced ou*'tf>£ its worst blizzards in twenty years. Snow fell for more than twelve hours and a steady ga\e damaged homes, farms and other proper-, ties throughout the Kio Grande Valldy. Among tnc December-born notables were Milton, Arkwright, Eli Whitney, Beethoven. Heine, Sir Humphry Davy, Whittier, Carlyle and Gladstone “Some malicious person started a re port on the street that there was some thing the matter with Mayor Snipe's head. We are glad to announce that there is nothing in it.” r * * "* T DINNER STORIES Tlie Differenr*. Elder Watkins, of Muddy Hollow, just buck from the city, wa* telling liis wife of the church he had attended. "Did you know any of their songs?" asked she. “No,” replied the elder, “they didn't sing anything but anthems.” “Anthems!” exclaimed his wife. "What on earth is an anthem?” "Well,” answered the elder. "I can’t tell you just exactly, but if I’d say to you, "Betsy, the cows are in the corn,’ that wouldn’t be an anthem. But if I’d say ‘Betsy—Betsy—Betsy, the cows —the cows—the Holstein cows, the niuley cow. the Jersey cow, the spotted cow—all the cows are in—are in»-the corn—corn —corn. Ah-meu’ 1” Why, tliat’d be an anthem.” That large man thinks himself pretty important, doesn't he asked the strong er. Important? Exclaimed the native. Why. if you tell him we're having fine weather here, he swells up as if he thought he made it. “Why dou't you pick up that note?” asked a traveler in Germany who saw a native- drop 1,000 marks. “Aehreplied the German. “Last week 1 stepped to pick up such a note and l.yt la subpender button.' And you can't get a suspender buttou under 5,000 marks.” “I don't want you to have so much company, Jane. You have more callers in a day than I have in a week." “Well, ma'am, perhaps if you'd try to be a little more agreeable you'd have as many friends as I do." The Sunday school teacher had chos en the subject of Ananias for the lesson, and at its conclusion asked: “What happens to liar* when they die today?” “Please, teacher," returned one of the scholars, "they lie still!’’ An Irishman coming out of ether in the ward after an operation, exclaimed audibly: “Thank heaven, that is over." “Don't be too sure,” said the man in the next bed. “They left a sponge in me and had to cut me open again.” And then the patient on the other side, “Why, they had to open me to find one of their instruments.” Just then the surgeon that had op erated on Pat stuck his head in the door and yelled: “Has anybody seen my liat?“ Pat fainted. Pity the Lion. It was rather a small circus and car ried but one lion, one tiger, one ele phant and so on down the list. After the trainer had put the lion through his paces, an elderly lady ap peared at the cage door and remarked: 'Aren't you afraid that this ferocious beast will attempt to make a meal of pi'.i some day?" "To tell you the truth, ma'am," con fided the man in the dazzling uniform, "I'm afraid I'll have to make a meul of this ferocious beast.” Have You Seen the New Flint Automo bile- They are in My Show Room.
