She puts her best silk stockin's OH,
And fuses with her huir,
And combs 1t like It never was

She gets down to the gnllory.
And then the fun begins.
She practices u lot OF slnrks,
And frowns and scowls and grins.
She tries to pose, unconscious like,
With easy poise and grace,
But most that she makes out TO do
Is Just twist up her face.
And when sho gets the proofs up home
The folks all have TO laugh.
For the expression on the face
Is like dyin' calf.

But sister thinks 1t Is just grand.
And says there's class to it.

Nor has that painful look

number OF officials OF the state and

that 1t were best for his country for
him to retire. promising at the same
time that the United States would per-
sonally assume charge OF the presi-
dental elections which are to be held
in May. 1914. President Victoria has
also ordered the release of all po-
litical prisoners, and guaranteed safe

turn 10 the country. AS the govern
