WHY CIGARETTES ARE DANGEROUS.

Tobacco smoke is very complex body, and there *
considerable doubt what its mildly poisonous quail

THE WAsTE-BASKET.
Woman is a charmer true.
Whom all the fairies bless;
In politics she'll never do.
Her charm would be the less.
Oh. Prophets. try and prophesy-
How will convention go?
Don't hold your tongue till Baileys won
Then say: Il told you So
The feet that fit in Homers time
/ Were never meant TO be the guide
For poets now, tbs doggy rhyme
They clamor for us to provide.
THE POETESS: She's asking not for
evidence,
OF critics kind regard:
Posteritys her audience
And fame its own reward.
The beauty that is fleeing may be pro-
duced by art
But beauty such as thine is comes from
a noble heart:
And mine as true to duty as needle to
the pole
A face where thought has chiseled the
beauty of the soul
