Queen vic's. Silver Telephone.

IStuart Mclean in Chicago Journal]
Consider Victorias new telephone,
All silver, with many precious stone.
The company ordered it made for her
BY a most exclusive artificer;
But whenever she uses it, morning or
night,
These are the words she must always
rectte--
The line is busy? What, again."
These the remarks of the queen OF
Spain.
The receiver is jeweled with emeralds
rare.
And as for the part that she puts to
her ear,
There's diamonds all over it, thicker
than peas,
And rubies, and other things, too, if
you please.
The costliest telephone ever was made:
Ard here comes the queen, in her stiff
est brocade--
'.Central! oh, Central? Ring 'em
srch is the plea of the queen of
Spain.
So what does the weight of the silver
effect?
The Jewels and castings with which it
it decked?
The golden extension? The ebony
case? o4ss
The handwrought and carven mahog-
any base?
And where is the queen any better than
we,
When she must stand waiting, like you
and like me
."Ring off, can't you!" This the re-
frain
Even of such as the queen of Spain!

In the first months of the Russia

of the necessity for preparation and
the early advantage of those who, Sc
to speak, "have shingled their roofs in

ton has made history and given to
US our greatest men. The Individual
as we'll as the nation should be pre-
pared for any emergency. Are you
prepared to successfully combat the
first cold you take? A cold can be
cured much more quickly when treated
as soon as it has been contracted and
before it has become settled in the sys-
tenn. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
famous for it's cures of colds and it
should be kept at hand ready for in
slant use. For sale by all druggists.
