TOO MUCH TO EXPECT


We have the wireless telegraph.
The horseless carriage, and
The cowless milk, the grapeless wine
Are every where at hand.
Now doctors. with their microbe scares,
Would like full well, l ween.
To have the kissless maiden, too
Appear upon the scene.
But. come what may through human skill,
New fashions teach US that
The chances are we never will
Behold the birdless hat.

beautiful chivalry towards women and |
the home, whereas Mr.. Roberts repre-
sented the ideas of the oriental harem
and to place him among our lawmak-
ers would be pity.
Gossip has it that the daughter and
only child of e. @. Swift head of the
big packing firm in Chicago is sought
of Servia but that Mr.. Swift
stoutly opposes the idea, primarily be-
cause if the prince should ever be ele-
waited to the throne, the American
girl would be classed as morgauatic
wife. Not being of royal blood she
could not reign with him and her chill
1ren would not have their fathers
-ank or GLASS, only such as the generos- (
ty of the father might bestow upon {
mem. Such position would be very .
unhappy for proud American girl. {
