A GREAT INVENTION.
From The Atchison Globe.

FTOTIl TIC NlCIISOn tTIODc
An Atchison woman has Il habit of eating too
much, and she invented method of knowing when
she had enough, and will have her discovery pat
ented. An ingeniousy made little alarm bell Is
set in her corset. and when the pressure of the
corset from eating amounts to many pounds
to the square inch the alarm is set off and the
woman must quit. Sometimes she is in the midst
OF juicy steak. or she may be just tasting a de-
licious dish of ice cream, she may have just
reached her coffee when the pressure sets the
alarm off, but she then quits. When visitors are
at the house the alarm Startles them little at
first. but they get used the gong The
inventor says the alarm has been of more benefit
to her than Il of doctors.

And bids his pain beGone.

And on his heels. comes some one
Who fancies something hot.
And takes Il swig of Roadway
To touch the chilly spot
One takes morphine tablet.
Which the tumber has to drown;
And another drinks bumper
To help blue pill down;
One mikes up Sargle,
And one Il lemon squash;
Another gives his mouth bath.
And then his teeth wash.
You may talk of golden beakers:
You may boast of pewter mugs;
You may chortle over tankards.
And rave of silver jugs:
