Peck, George W., 1840-1916

"Peck's Compendium of Fun"

Now, what kind of a way is
that? It does not stand to reason that a girl would wear the same pair of
stockings twelve years. Even if she had them washed once in six months,
they would be worn out. People notice these things.
What the actresses of this country need is to change their stockings. To
wear them twelve years even in their minds, shows an inattention to the
details and probabilities, of a play, that must do the actresses an
injury, if not give them corns. Let theatre-goers insist that the
stockings be changed oftener, in these plays that sometimes cover half a
century, and the stockings will not become moth-eaten. Girls, look to the
little details. Look to the stockings, as your audiences do, and you will
see how it is yourselves.

HOW FARMERS MAY GET RICH.
The artificial propagation of fish has attracted much attention of late
years, and the success of experiments has shown that every farmer that has
a stream of water on his land can raise fish enough to get rich in five
years, four months and twenty-one days.

A CASE OF PARALYSIS.
About as mean a trick as we ever heard of was perpetrated by a doctor at
Hudson last Sunday. The victim was a justice of the peace named Evans. Mr.
Evans is a man who has the alfiredest biggest feet east of St. Paul, and
when he gets a new pair of shoes it is an event that has its effect on the
leather market.
