FOR WOMEN FOLK
THREE FOOLS '
There was a business man who failed
To win the onged-for prize
Os riches and prosperity—
He did not advertise.
There was a lover once who died
Quite wretched, I suppose,
Because all through his lite he was
Too bashful to propose.
There was another man whose ways
His neighbors greatly pained,
Because he didn't know enough
To go in when it rained.
All three were fools, but worst of all
To every body's eyes
Was he w ho was a business man
Aod didn't advertise.
WHIPS FOR WIFE BEATERS.
WALTER BEBANT THINKS FLOGGING 18
THE ONLY THING.
I read that a bill has been intro
duced into the New York Legisla
ture providing for the restoration
of the whipping post as an encour
agement for those who beat their
wives, This measure, dear readers,
meets, I am sure, with your entire
approbation.
Let us by all means flog thes
men. I remark, however, that we
are going back to the old methods.
For two centuries at least, the
Seventeenth and the Eighteenth,
the whip was the principal stimulus
to virtue.
The flogging of the last century
which was the age of punishments
most cruel, barbarous and indis
criminate, appal one, only to read
of them. Vagrants flogged through
the town ; gypsies flogged bacause
they were gypsies ; beggars flogged :
apprentises flogged ; thieves flog
ged ; women flogged.
All through the present century
we have been mittigating or abol
ishing this punishment. We left
off flogging women for vagrancy
abeut ninty years ago—l think the
last instance on record is 1804 or
1806. We left off flogging in the
army and in the navy.
But we have never quite given
up the punishment. There must .
always be, in the background,
some punishment which hurts— I
which inflicts horrible pain—which
more than degrades a man. We j
award it still for assaults with vio
lence— and now the New York peo
ple are going to have it back again.
There is a kind of man—fortun
ately he is rare—who can only be
kept from certain offenses by the
knowledge that he will be flogged I
for them. —London Queen. I
MME. PATTI IN TEARS.
JEALOUS OF THE APPLAUSE BESTOW
ED ON A NEW STAR.
During the Patti concert at Vi
enna on January 30, a new star
made its appearance on the musi
cal horizon. This time it was a
violinist, a little Polish boy, Bron
islaw Hubermann by name, who
captivated not only the public, but
even old teadhers of music and
critics, too. A correspondent of the
Fremden Blatt reports the follow
ing conversation he overheard that
evening:
‘■Have you heard Patti!”
“More than that; I saw her
cry. ”
“When?”
“In her concert after her first
song. ”
“Was she so much pleased with
immense reception?”
“No; she was jealous of the ap
plause that little Polander got. I
went to see her to express my ad
miration, but I found her in a tow
ering rage. She said she wouldn’t
sing another note, if another hand
stirred for little Bronislaw.”
“But she sang again?”
“Yes, after I proved to her by
arguments strong enough to con
vince Patti that the applause was
not for Bronislaw, but that it was
for her that they were waiting im
patiently.”
The next day the cable announc
ed that the diva was ill and would
have to cancel a date at Dresden.

TOO SMART FOR THH DOCTOR
The daughter of a well-known
Ijocked was recently very ill, hav
ing caught a severe cold. A doctor
was sent for. and was button-holed
by the mother, who requested him
to favor her by advising her daugh
ter not to wear lowankled shoes.
The daughter was sent for, and
after her tongue hud been given
the usual out-of-door exercise ths
m n of medicine said :
“Ab, you are suffering from
what we medical men call a low
shoe cold, and I must prohibit
ycufrom wearing such shoes in the
future. ”
The young lady started, and,
taking off one of the offending
THE HUSTLER OF ROME SUNDAY MARCH 10 1895
shoes, exclaimed:
“Since you are so clever, doc- |
tor, as to look at my tongue and
tell me what is amiss with my feat
will you be kind enough to look at
my feet and tell me whether my
hat is properly adjusted?”
He gave up prescribing for smart
girl?,— Philadelphia Press.
AN EXPERIENCED MAN.
She whirled through tbs rail
road station and went up against
the uniformed veteran at the gate
of the train shed.
“What time does that (rain go?”
she asked, excitedly.
“In half an hour, madam.”
“Well, I want to go in and tell
some friends good-by.”
“Sorry, madam,” he sigbed, “but
I can’t let you go in. We can't
have the train delayed.
AMONG THE FREAKS.
“Ha, he, ha,” shouted the fat
woman.
“What’s ths matter with you?”
inquired the Ossified Man.
“I have a fine joke on the Cir
cassia Beauty.”
‘ What is it?”
“Why, she’s accepted an invita
tion from the Armless Wonder to
go sleigh riding, and she thinks
she’s going to have a good time.”
OVER THERE.
A PARHETIC INCIDENT THAT MOVED
THE BIG POLICEMAN.
On a pleasant day last autnmn
a li*tie tot of a boy was standing
on the dock looking out over the
water toward the Canadian shore.
He was so quiet and sad-eyed that
a good-natured policeman, who saw
him there, came up to speak to
him. Before he had a change for
that, however, the boy had spoken
to him.
Is that heaven over there, he
asked with a faint tremor on his
voice.
Well I should say not, my little
man, laughted the policeman.
That’s Windsor.
Well, that’s the river, isn’t it?
asked the boy with a stubborn
sort of presistence which the police
man’s laugh had not affected in
the least.
Yes, that’s the river. There ain’t
ahy mistake about that.
Then, said the boy, firmly, that’s

ing HER STEALING HER JEWELS
A pet’te woman, known as the

“Georgia Magnet,” who claims to
have balked Sandow’s efforts to
lift her, was complainant in the
Police Court at Newark yesterday
against her husband, John Cirville
or John Hern. She accused him
of having struck har in the street
and stolen her ’diamond pin and
pawned it. Notwithstanding she
said Circles was he husband she
gave her name as Mrs. T. L. Eme
ry.
City Attorney Cross put the
woman’s magnet powirto a test.
With her was a boy weighing 115
pounds. She placed one finger on
the boy’s neck and another on Mr.
Cross’s hand, and he tried in vain
to lift the lad. A warrant was issu
ed for Cii Ville’s arrest.
