MORE TRUTH
THAN POETRY
by JAMES j. MONTAGUE

Oxygen men should marry nitro
gen women.'--Dr. r. Kendrick Smith
of Boston.
THE CHEMICAL UNION
Oh, lovely, heterogeneous lady,
Each oxygen atom in me
With love is aflame, and demands that
you name
The day when our wedding shall be.
YEA even the tiny eleetrons
OF which the said atoms are built.
Would droop in despair IL a maiden
so fair
Were to prove a perfidious tilt.
So bark to my passionate pleading,
Let our hearts and our souls have
communion
With never sigh as the years hasten
In perfectly chemical union.
I welded. before I had wisdom,
A maid of the oxygen sort.
Our marital life was a record of strife
Which ended, of course, In court.
Identical atoms composed us,
Our wants were exactly the same.
It's fatuous plan for an oxygen man
To marry a nitrogen dame.
We both wanted fat four our dinner,
Unlike Mr. Spratt and his spouse,
And for seven long years, filled with
curses and tears.
Our rows made wreck OF the
house.
But you're a heterogeneous maiden;
Your atoms are friendly with mine;
For the fat I'll be keen; you'll be
strong for the lean,
And oIr dtnpare will he divine
Wen dwell in delightful contentment,
According to chemical law,
And our joys will increase In molec-
ular peace,
With never the sign of flaw.
So prithee accept my proposal,
Send me word that you'll surely be
mine.
Well be happy through life as a hus-
band and wife,
For our atoms will get along fine
WE'D RATHER BE ALIVE
We learn that new tenor is eager
to take Caruso's place for much less
money. To paraphrase the late
Charles II. Hoyt we wouldn't take II
for all the money in the world.
NO LESSON
As far as we are able to observe an
election proves only that somebody
has, been elected.
OBLIGING
We take 1t from NJ. Brands re-
marks that France is perfectly willing
to disarm, II disarming doesn't mean
any Limitation of her ornaments.
