HOP LEE AND HIS FAITHFUL MULE—AN EXCITING SCENE AT THE HOANG-HO FERRY.
JOHNNY'S IDEA OF A JOKE.
"Pa," said Johnny, as he watched his father filling cartridges for his shot-gun, "wouldn't it be a joke to load one of those cartridges with quinine pills and shoot a bear with 'em."
AN ERROR SOMEWHERE.
My pa says if I don't keep still
Some time, I won't get strong;
But when I watch the moving sea,
And think how strong the waters be,
I sort of think he's wrong.
