An exchange remarks that your
mouth is the front door to your
face; it is the Aperture to the
cold storage Of your anatomy. Some
mouths look like peaches and cream
and some like hole in brick wall
to admit new door or window.
The mouth is hot bed to tooth
aches and the bung hole to oratory.
1t is a crimson aisle to our liver.
1t is patriotism's fountain and the
tool chest for pie. Without a mouth
a politician would be a wanderer
upon the face of the earth and 90
down in an unhonored grave. It is
the grocer's friend, the orators
pride and dentists hope. It put
some men on the rostrum and some
in Jail. 1t is temptations lunch
counter when attached to a maiden !;
without it married life would be a
summer dream and q dude would
lose half of his attraction.
An exchange publishes the follow
ing revised version OF Mary's little
lamb. MARY had a little lamb |;
that time has passed away. No
lamb could follow up the pace our
Mary sets today. For now she
rides the air shod wheel, in skirts
too short by half, no lambkin shares
her airy flight, but you can see
her calf. But who is there that
can complain or cry in woe ALAS
So long as Mary's Calls all right,
the lamb may go to grass. So all
the men, delighted gaze, their joy
is not a sham, for while the other
critters out, they have no use for
lamb"
An exchange says that $4,000
fools and 100 wise men are going
to the Klondike this spring. The
fools will work the mines and the
wise men will work the fools.
