A allow To" Tragedy.

Smith liked to study ''how to" books,
to add unto his knowledge
On how to shave on railroad trains and
how to sidestep college.
And how to make the hen game pay and
how to write short stories,
And how to raise prize cabbages, and
also morning-glories;
The latest of these WondrOus works on
which poor Smith has Numbered
Is "How to Build a Bungalow for Less
Than Seven Hundred"
1t seems Jones lent the book to Smith,
just as a passing favor,
For Smith was just about to build ana
sought a money saver;
Now Smith has spent three thousand nat
and seeks still more to borrow,
The while the rOofless bungalow looks
like a haunt of sorrow;
And so, alas! it comes to pass friend

he was carrying 5000 of insurance has
proved incorrect. He had only $1,000 of
