Women and Tobacco.
I have heard men remark crmplacently did
that they were glad that tht ir wives
not dislike tobacco, ns they did enjoy a
1»P C by thoir own fireside. Their wives
would not deny this statement, but
afterward would tell me that they “in
variably left the room for a brc.ith of
P ur « ah.” There arc two sides to all
questions, and I am very sure if many men
full y comprehend the woman’s side of the
tobacco question, the disgust and con
t< nipt to many of them feel f< r a “to
bacco worm” they would at least cease to
putrifjStthe a r of their homes and the
floorsof the buildings they frequent. But
were men to ask these seifsame women if
tobacco were offensive to them, the reply
would be, “Oh, i.ot particularly.’’—Mrs.
Irene G. Adams,
They are Wanted.
The great want to.day is men. Men
who cant’t be bought and sold. Men
with votes too honest to sell them. Men
in < ffice too honest to buy them. Men
who think twice before they speak,
thriee before they act, and four times
before they vote. Men quick to see and
prompt to act. Men who will stand for
right, firm as a rock, though powers and
parties crumble, and all around seems
chaos and confusion. Men prompt to
condemn wroDg whether found in high
places or low.
