THE MATHEMATICAL CIGARET D.M.M.
“There’s not a fellow here, 111 bet,’’ Remarked a stub of cigarette, “Who will believe so very quick That I’m good in arithmetic! “To make a good example, though, Conditions must be right, you know; Refore I can my skill employ I must be smoked by some young boy. “Then I begin at once to add Nerve troubles for the foolish lad! Next I get busy and subtract Much from his growth—yes, it’s a fact! “His mental powers I can divide Until at length he caji’t decide Twixt right and wrong. I then reduce His strength of heart—and set it loose! “I multiply his every ache, Big interest from his work I take, His average of health make less, And discount each chance of success.’’—“The Young Crusader.”
