You repeat this sentence until the king of hearts makes his
appearance. If it happens that, as you lay this upon the table, you
pronounce the word "heartily" he will love his future wife heartily,
and so on.
Now as to why he marries her. Count off the cards upon the table,
while you repeat the following sentence:
For love, for her beauty,
For his parents' command,
For the bright, golden dollars,
For counsel of friends.
The sentence by which you discover what is his profession is the
following:
Gentleman, alderman, clergyman, doctor,
Merchant, broker, professor, major,
Mechanic, lawyer, shipmaster, tailor.
This method of telling fortunes is very entertaining in society, when
you have not the book to find more particular answers.

SOME IRISH SMILES
BY CARLETON B. CASE
160 Pages Paper Covers Price 30 cents.
A volume of genuine Irish humor with several hearty laughs to every
page; a book to be read and passed along to one's chums, that all may
enjoy its fun. The wit of our friends from the Emerald Isle is
proverbial, and none is so ready to see and appreciate the point of it
as the American. Its humor is so spontaneous that it creates laughter
in spite of one's self, and that is the kind of wit all of us prefer.
This little 160 page book is for laughing purposes only, and will be
carefully read from cover to cover by every purchaser.
