Beware

OOh, children you Must never chew Tobacco—it is Awful!
The Juice will Quickly make You sick,
  If once you get your Maw Full.

—S. J. Tilden.

The Vigilant Cop

D Do not Make a Noise or you will Wake the Policeman! He is Sitting on the Door Step asleep. It is very Hard on Him to Have to Sleep out of Doors these Cold Nights. There is a Bank being Robbed around the Corner and a Woman is being killed in the next Block. If the Policeman Waked up, he might Find it out and Arrest somebody. Some people Believe this is what Policemen are for, but the Policemen do not Think so.
