WAS BUTLER BETRAYED?


lSouthern Tobacco Journal9
The story goes that Mr.. W. III. Butler,
president and organizer of the Union To-
hacco Company, acted in good faith, and
is hearthroken because his hackers de-
serted him TO sell out to the American
people. lie had started off his new CON
Germ in good style, and it babe fair to
make a fine success. His cigarettes
were said to have been selling well.
Then, when everything looked its love
liest, suddenly the props were knocked
from under him and he fell.
If all this be true, Mr.. Butler has our
sympathies. Moreover there is hope
that he will be heard from again in the
field against the enemy and the next time
get better, truer men behind him.

this city to issue school bonds. The
amount of the bonds proposed to be is

be held at the same time as the bond

FORGIVENESS.

Forgive you? Oh, of course, dear,
a dozen times week,
We women were created
Forgiveness but to speak.
You'd die before you'd hurt me
Intentionally? True.
But it is not, o dearest.
The thing you mean to do.
It's what you do, unthinking,
That makes the quick tear start;
The tear may be forgotten,
But the pain stays in the heart.
And though | may forgive you
A dozen times day,
Yet each forgiveness wears, dear,
A little love away.
