"Never Let It Occur Aqain."
E. E. GAME,
Secretary.

ycnrg Chicago matron was much
annoyed; one morning at the nominate
r1alization Of her milkman in time to-
furnish the cream for breakfast. When

O'clock, she took it upon herself to
deliver the deserved lecture, for had
not the young husband shown dis.
pleasure at drinking coffee sans
cream and did not that fact alone
brand the milkman too great a culpri,
to be reproved merely by a maid?
The young wife is quite deaf, and
with conflicting sounds of traffic in
the street and her baby daughters
crying within, she could not hear the
defense Of the sinful purveyor of pure
milk, but she thought he looked peni.

Now the traffic Of Paris is as elahorateiy or
