When a man writes poetry if s a sure sign he's in love with someone-or something. Some men are inspired by beautiful womanhood, some by a gorgeous sunset. Here's a man inspired .y his favourite tobacco: THE BLUE TIN CAN. I've tried the brands from every clime ; Choice mixtures with Perique: But long—Oh, long ago! I learned The onlv brand to seek. Each day our useless worries moun. Our evenings to provoke; But through the alchemy of hre They vanish into smoke. They vanish when our spirit holds \o enmity toward man, And smoke the sunshine bottled up In Edgewortn's Blue Tin Can. So smoke away; This loyal friend > Is void of bite or sting : For HE is monarch of a world, | Where Happiness is King. —IRVING H, WALKEfi.
