Moral 1 Do Not tilve Advice.
A young man residing in the Seventh
ward was sometime since stung on the
nose by a bee and that prominent feature of the face of course immediately
assumed an increased and humiliating
prominence. Anxious to relieve himself
at onoe, the young man eagerly followed the advice of a neighboring lady,
who bade him annolnt It with clay.
He innocently did sp, at still greater
cost to his personal appearance, much
to the amusement of his fair advisor.
Unfortunately for the latter she ls
now a victim, her case being an exact
counterpart of his. He takes revenge
by sending her the following advice:
The best thing for a bee sting on the
nose is to stir up a little yellow clay
and apply a lump over the part stung
and it will relieve in a few minutes. It
has been tried.
She is not expected to accept thc advice.
