The Ono Difficulty.

With thor usual lack of good subject
for conversation, group of women were
discussing lately what death they would
prefer to die. One preferred drowning,
another heart diseabe, third strangling.
Ono Who poses as very clinging and soul
full said with q Beardsleyesquo languish,
that she thought she'd "like to be kissed
to DEATH"
The remark was repeated to Mrs.
Craigie, who was Immediately extremely
curious to see the woman who said 1T.
One night at the theater Mrs. Craigie's
hostess said:l There, in the second box, is
the woman who wanted to DO kissed to
death. What do you think of her?''
"That woman!" exclaimed John Oliver.
II should think she'd have trouble to find
an executioner. New York Herald.

And you always thought it unjust that

"Well, now you have got your boomers

"The weathor'll be fair" the prophet says
"the weather'll be fair and warm;
Tho weatherl be fair today, good folk, pro.
vided it doesn't Storm
And then he climbs to his den aloft to SEQ how
the cloud banks form.
~ think it will storm" tho prophet says; 81
think it will storm tonight;
The wind will blow terrible gale, provided
I've hit it right
And then he climbs to his den aloft to see il
the stars are bright.
~ think he is right" the critic says GIVE
followed him all along;
think he is right tonight, good folk, provided
he isn't wrong
And that Is the view take, good folk-the
point of my little song.
