There is but little doubt that the au-
thor of the infallible proverb: IF pigs
had wings they might be able to fly.
but they would be very unlikely birds,
was the same one who said:
"a reformed rake makes the best OF
husbands"
If such a thing were possible, doubt
less he would. but does anyone really
believe in a reformed rske?"

and very few of a sensible one.
AS to rakes, or eny other notorious
characters, there is not a word to be
said in regard to their matrimonial
pualities; they should and Will be en-

If you dislike the odor OF tobacco.

quality, but don't dream OF complain
Ing because he smokes.
There Is nothing in the world that
will SO smooth the ruhled plumage Of
the king of creation as looking at life
through dense cloud of tobacco smoke.
Don't marry the only-Son-ef- his
