They were pleased with themselves, pleased with the horse, pleased with the jockey, who, perched up aloft on the great sweating bay, his hands still mechanically at work, his little dark face shining, chaffed his chaffers in the voice of a Punchinello. "Get off him, Monkey," called a joker; "get off quick afore he falls to pieces. Do!"
Dad, what have you been doing to yourself now?" "The biter bitten Treff! Joker pinched!" came the answer in tones almost jocular, for the love in that boyish voice was a cordial. "Well! I guess I haven't got my death-blow now you've come. And and the murder is out, boy: these little girls know all-ll: who you are who I am!"
And how fitting it is that the splendid dome should be the chief feature of a building that is really an indoor garden and that the most prominent note of the coloring should be green, nature's favorite and most joyous color. Some joker," he went on, "says that this Exposition is domicidal. He expresses a feeling a good many people have here, that there are too many domes. But I don't agree.

"Down with Skeleton!" "That's the ticket, pals!" cried the Chourineur, addressing those prisoners who ranged themselves on his side; "you have hearts; you will not see a man murdered who is half dead; only cowards are capable of such conduct.

If a lover, a thief, or you I make no comparisons could get the better of this first wicket, well, in the first hall, which is shut by a glazed door, you would run across a butler surrounded by lackeys, an old joker more savage and surly even than the porter.
