longer than a w0man who takes an or
binary life policy. 1t is not easy to ex-
piaan why an unmarried woman sur

he longevity OF the endowment women

tion to live until the policy natures.

Ripping Rhymes
by Walt Mason
BETTER DAYS.

For months the news was grim and sad, we learned
the word reverse; oh, every day the news was bad, and
next day it was worse. The gods seemed smiling on the
Hun, while we could but retreat; he piled his sabre and
his gun, and never met defeat. We took our bitters as
they came, good sports | hope we were, while Teutons
played their winning game, and filled the air with fur. |
used to hear the boys remark, Gust wait-the tide will
turn! The prospects now look pretty dark, but we have
faith to burn. Just wait until our Yankee lads get busy
with the foe, and shoot them through their liver pads, or
where their whiskers grow" And now the better days
have come the news is fit to read; we march along to beat
of drum, and Huns are snickersneed. BY Yankee pep. on
which we banked, with French and British force, the
%kronprinz armies have been spanked, and they are howl
ing hoarSe. wonder how the Teuts will stand the strain
they're under now--the homely Teuts who till the land,
the peasant and his frau? l wonder how the German
towns will stand the ~sick'ning thud? They like the ups,
and now the downs will show their sporting blood.
doubt if Teuts will stand the gaff, their sporting form is
cheap; they cannot force a smile or laugh when they're
inclined to weep.
