QUEER FOLKS.
Everybody Queer
But Us.
THEIR FADS ARE
INEXPLAINABLP.
Zeke Ruminates on Queer Things
? auti now I hey Know.
"This in n queer world."
How often have you heard tlint
remnrk from people <>1' ynur no
quaintunce, but it is my mindici
^ opinion that the old world is pretty
near on the level, win In it in ill >
people that are quef?r.
It has boen saUl lh.it every person
is u little off in the head on
buuiv; auoject or other, and while
I can't vouch for tho truth of I,lie
statement, I will say, with the exception
of you niul 1, they all have
a hobby which they are ready to
rido whenever an opportunity
offers, and if you doubt it watch
your acquaintances and Pf-e how
long it will take you to discover
their woak spot, or in other w-.rda.
"their fad," and you will find it u
pretty safe rule if you wish to
raako a friend or retain friendship
"to ride the fellow's hobby."
Don't believe it, do you ! Well,

a fancy for coins, and tho dollar

llOl'StH, Ci* ttle, fancy poultry, r.hoets,
brio-a-brao ol nil discription all
have their devotes, and uro uppermost
in the minda cf some one. It
iu their lad and they ride their
hobbies to the limit.
I knew a man who wuscra/A on
the nubjeet of (dippers, >and in> wa?|
always seen on the street wearing J
them and was happy in the poss.-HBion
of fifteen hundred pairs, while
another one was daft on ti.e subject
of canes, and if you called on
linn at hid home h<* wot .d entertain
you by bringing 1'oitli for your
inspection a few hundred walking
slicks, and if you valued hi* I'rici tl

and libton to the life and ad v<mturo

then bow tho head or bond tho

myself wondering what in upper

a well dressed substantial looking
