The majority of the following items have appeared in the Argus before in plain everyday garb. Here they are again as dressed up by the humorist of the Adrián Press: The Ypsilantian heads a column of marriages, "What God Hath Joined."

It is the prevailing republican idea that a thing without a tariff on it is "cheap and nasty." Who wants "cheap and nasty" Dutch cheese. Over in Milan, at the rink dances, gentlemen settle affairs of honor by politely knocking cach other down with beer bottles, right then and there.
