She used tn powder and paint and prink
Until she looked real sweet:
She was stuffed and stayed and tailor
made
From her hair to her shoe-pinched feet.
And he was as prim as his legs were
slim
And his clothes were fine and sleek.
And they'd sit and sigh and lisp and lie
One evening every week.
But when they wed-Oh. me. oh. my!-
There was grief for him and her.
Twas another two when they really
knew
Each other as they were.
They both believed they had been de-
ceived
And they really had. OF course.
So with one intent to the Judge they
went
And prayed for a divorce.
But nowadays a pair goes out
In their cycling clothes to ride
on a century run through rain and sun.
Where there's not much chance to hide.
And IL through wet and dust and sweat
They think each other fair
They are true as steel. for oh. the wheel
Is death TO a ''made-up" pair.
And love who once would hit or miss
His trusting couples bind.
Though plump or lean. "unsight, I'M
seen"
Is now no longer blind.
For cycling pairs cant put on airs.
Love has the facts down pat.
With golfng socks and knickerbocks.
lie knows Just where he's at.

A Stated Annuity Would Recognize span
ish Suzerainiy.
Washington, March 24.-The president
said to senators who visited the white
house that he would like to see the Gu
bans obtain their independence by pur-
chase and he minated that he would
be even willing that they shoufI agree
to pay a stated annuity to Spain, rec
ogniZing to this slight degree the suzer-
ainty of the mother country, but he
said at the same time that he recognized
the difficulties i'm the way of this pro-
cedure because of the disinclination of
the Spanish authorities to consider it.
Still, the visitors obtained the impress
sion that he had concluded at least Il
make an effort in that direction. They
are of the opinion hat If this negotiation
should fail the president would resort
to intervention rather than to a recogui-
tion OF either belligerent rights or the
Independence of the island. They dc
not consider that the president would
hesitate at recognizing either belliger-
ency or independence except for the rea-
son that he believes neither would &C
COmplish the result of relieving the suf-
fCring, which is the first end he has in
view.
