The State department or archives

Everything in this department"
said MI. Lewis, "is now at the be.

"The archaeological and geological

WHY HE DOESN'T.

From the Chicago News.
Some married men deceive their
wives
By telling things not strictly true.
They say that it's to save their lives.
But It's no proper way to do.
I lend myself to no deceit,
I tell the truth without disguise,
On things. my wife is hard to cheat
She's wise.
Some men that I have known declare
That business keeps them late at
night.
Or some sick friend demands their
care,
Which I consider hardly right.
Not even to avoid a spat
Would ! be guilty of such lies.
I'd not tell Mary things like that
She's wise.
At no time since we have been wed
Has my dear partner been deceived
BY anything that | have said,
She says men aren't to be believed,
That she her loving spouse should
doubt
Occasions me. some slight surprise.
She knows I know shed find me out
She's wise.
