August

The story that whiskers are going out of fashion has whiskers on it already.

The railroad baggage men are not taking their vacation now, because this is the vacation season.

If an Allston car is the first to go through the subway, as seems probably, the alphabetical proprieties will have been observed.

The man who is going to start from New York in a balloon for the Klondike in about three weeks from now expects to get as far as Harlem, anyhow.

If, as some remark, the whole country has gone ``Klondike mad,'' the topic at least affords relief from some perpetual ``chestnuts,'' such as the weather, Platt politics, etc.
