She views with gaze precise,
And says, with deprecating smile,
His nose is rather NICE

But, still, suppose we try
To look about, for once, with her
Discriminating eye.
The greedy magnates of a trust
Are hard to be endured;
But, view them closer, friends-aha!
Their nails are manicureG!
Behold the Black Hand agent with
His stick of dynamite.
Don't look with such adherence, sirs-

Throughout the countryside;
But, when about to Durn a barn,
How gracefully they ride,
The grating politician has

An awful pretty tie,
And from the great prosperity
All these enjoy, tbs plain,
The woods are full of folks who think
Like dear old Auntie Jane.

One of the very best remedies for a
sick or nervous headache is the fol-

into thick slices. Lay close together
on the forehead and temples and keep
in place by covering with a large
handkerchief, folded oornerwise, and
tied in the back. In a short time pain
disappears. AS pieces of potato get
hot add fresh cool piece. This gives
all the GOODNESS of ice, without the
Incidental dampness, and there is not
the burning sensation ice often causes.
