The Saratoga Dude.

“Yes,” said the Saratoga dude, “I do wear corsets, they alone can make the tout ensemble oi a figure, malie or female, perfect, as ignorant nature failed in doing. I must admit that my tout ensemble is perfect,” he added, with ,a futile attempt at concealing the vanity which oozed out from every pore. As he mounted the tally-ho coach, and, taking the most conspicuous place on top, blew the horn himself as it drove through the streets, the village admirers to whom he had addressed his last remarks, exclaimed: “Do hear that, now; that’s his toot horn symbol he was talking about. Don’t it make a bully noise ? He’s right, it is perfect. Though I don’t see how the corsets help it along.” — Cor. Washington Star. A stand fell down with a crash, A number of men it did mash, But the entire ten Were soon well again— St. Jacobs Oil cured every gash. A baker who lives in Duluth, Went crazy one night with a tooth, He rubbed the gum boil, With St. Jacobs Oil, It cured him, and this is the truth.
