And she would fetch q spiral sigh

"Ill meetcha In Chicago
She answered In the self-same way,

They must have gone, for sure
In that bucolic borough
He found her, looking pretty tough.
His own plight quite as thorough,
He found her IN n boarding house
Embellishing n platter,
A pub where all the topers souse
On pork and beans and chatter:
Her polypodded form was gone,
Her body bruised and busted;
! blush to say all she had on
was nothing. brown-encrusted.
And though with fear he sadly
quaked
To. see those gourmands rend her.
He fought all Der the Boston baked,
Attempting TO defend her.
But when that mine-st ricken horde
Its hunger had quite banished,
From OFF that fatal festal boa rd
The loving twain had vanished.

Daily Editorial for Women

the woman writer would have
brought to the attention of the New
York women: that a newspaper Is
mental tonic. a morning plunge into
the world OF activity and actual af-
fairs stimulating the mind for the
daily business at hand.
Let us hope that those who do
carry books do not read them before
the days work begins. for they are
deadening.
The mind Is put upon a single
track Of events in a book. and con-
cerned only in the working out of
certain plot. the relation of which to
the world OF the particular business
of the reader may be nil.
On the other hand. newspaper
articles are short. they are presented
in terse. concise form. and several
may be read and digestcd In n few
moments. The mind after a period
of long inaction. or rather undirected
action, working at e slower rate be-
cause Of the breakfast in the stom-
