The Lazy Worm.

Wise American doctors are extract
ing the lazy worn from the natives Of
Porto Rico and M more giving them
ambition to 60 forth and gather the
mellow banana OF raise the kind Of
tobacco that people smoke in the Unit
ID States who do not know any better.
This lazy worm Is a peculiar sort Of
creature. After he has mixed himself
quite thoroughly with the Internal
economy Of a native the latter feels
more like sitting In the shade than
going forth In the hot sun to do some
heavy lifting.
There are people In the United
States who feel that way who have
eve had the pleasure Of the &C
quaintance Of the lazy worm, but 1t
would take something stronger than
medicine to cure them. About the
only thing that will do them any good
IL a visit from their mother-in-law,
and II that doesn't cure them they are
hopeless and should be given thirty
days without further preiminaries.

You Never Can Tell.

o Never Can lel.
He only stole q loaf Of bread,
And that was really stale.
OF course / know you'll say at once
That he was sent to jail.
But guess again. Oh. foxy one:
You have another try.
They quickly gathered up a purse
And sent him home with pie.
The other man Of talent was
A more expansive crook.
He stole q lengthy railroad and
Was straightway brought to book.
You viii be sure he got on light
For such a simple crime.
Oh, no! They sent him to the pen.
And he Is doing time.
70 any such results as that
One cannot feel resigned.
II violates all precedents
In cases of that kind.
FOR surely there was some mistakey
The Judge forgot to look
Around to see who stole the loaf
And who the railroad took.
II only goes to demonstrate
That accidents occur,
That justice sometimes slips q cog
Or hat its blind eyes blur;
That time tried rules may go awry.
And II the tale IL true
II proves the wisest cannot tell
Just what a court will do.

Even experience has to hit a man a
belt over the head sometimes before
It can teach him anything.
No woman has time to preserve her
good looks and fruit at the same time.
Corset laces are the ties that bind.
You are apt to meet good natured
people when you are good natured

No man considers an advantage ac-
cruing to him a mean advantage.
Don't worry about the people who act
as IL they were doing you a favor when
they accept a favor from you; they will
get on In the world.
