Eden and Prohibition.

i liV A JJAIUIED INDIVIDUAL. A prohibited person called in at I'he Chronicle ollice yesterda.y and borsuwod the editor's knife, to Kharpeu a pencil with wliieli to write a lioein. He said bo always broke Ins own knives getting corks out of bottles. Afterwards ho broke in f o veiwo, with wliich he presented and our readois. When the ''Prohibition Order" »-a; posted up at first Any judge of '•Human Nature" could have prophesised tho worst, L'"or no Poutifieial Edict ever yet did make ia saint, As the Ixino of life's enjoyment ithe Ogre of Restraint. "What sent Eve upon tho warpath, and what caused the "fall of Man, Was tho "tanu" tree of Paradise— tho fruit behind tho bau ; Eve was the first true Liberal—impulsive little elf— So she winked at Mrs Grundy, and politely helped herself Adam did not dare to argue—he knew she'd "make it hot"— Perhaps have wandered back agaia, and scooped the blessed lot. So ho took his share of plunder— :aid he loved her just tho same— Then like a true Conservative he laid on her tho blame.

To say Eve was unscrupulous no woman could convince, And her daughters have upheld her flag unconquered ever since. The things we must not look at and the things we may not toua'i (Because Old Grundy says so) are the things we value much. JACK VINCENT. Levin. Gtli March, 1913.
