Every member of the Blue Goose
Club turned out on Wednesday even-
ing to witness the presentation to ex
Mayor William Aren't of the Gruen
Watch won 'by Nina in the contest in

The presentation was made by Mayor
D: Sutherland Who congratulated
Mr. Anent on winning so valuable a
prize in a contest Where tine decision
le given solely on merit and no favors
shown to any person: and hoped he
would have the good fortune to win
another watch. The winning rhyme
The truth about the R. G. Dun
Is not a simple jest,
Quality from end to end
That's why it is the best,
Mayor Sutherland who also likes a
smoke concluded his remarks by
quoting the words of Mr. Ooing, an-
other smoker of earlier days who on
being asked why he smoked gave this
reply:
:He .who does not smoke hath de-
nied himself consolation next to
that which comes from }Teasels.
What, softer than woman? asks <my
young friend. 'Woman teases as
well ,as pleases and 'is' the author of
half the 'ills she boasts the privilege
to soothe. 'Hang up thy scales, 'O'h
Jupiter, and weigh then in the bal-
ance and if those givest the prefer-
ence to u-onsan, all .that I can say is,
when Juno next caresseth thee,
take a smoke.
There you is and no doubt 'had 11s.

would be smoking an 'R. G. Dun,
Sir- Assent admitted he was quite
proud of his prize. It took a little time
to compose a rhyme that would come
out on top of the bunch of contest-
ants, however, the more he looked at
the watch and smoked the R. G. Dun
cigar, the more he thought the en-
deavor was'wos'th while, By this time
everybody was smoking yet no one
made a move to open a 'window-
