"He ain't a sea-dog," said Bob. "He runs a cat-boat."
HOW IT IS DONE.
Harry (who is not yet up in bicycular slang). "I say, Will, how do you do when you scorch?"
Will. "Pretty well, I thank you. If you wish to scorch, say in the Park, just let your wheel go like forty. The bicycle cop will do the arrest. That's scorching."
A FAMILY RESEMBLANCE.
Dr. Balsam. "Your boy favors you greatly, Mr. Hillside—that is, takes after you."
Farmer Hillside. "He'd favor me more, Doctor, ef he'd only obey me. He don't take after me; but I tell you his mother takes after him when he don't toe the mark she chalks for him."
