1t was dismal rainy day in Decem.
Der. Socrates, who had no umbrella,
and in fact didn't have time to live
until the first one WAS made, stood on
the front steps Of his house, rawins
his cloak around him, before vcnturine
flown the street. From the opposite,
,aitlcsof the street his friend 'rhera,nenes,
passing by, h,niliarly hailed him as
''Soc.. and shouted:
Il "Blustery this morning.
/" EYES," replied thephilosopher, ssIt's
cold.''
."lIcy -" st,.l,lcnly shot the voice OF
~ Nantippe from Il second story win
dow, "hcy? what's that:'
81 said, - exclaimed Socrates
promptly THROWN. up his guard and
backing l'ru,lently into tho doorway;
81 said its scold."
"SAid what :' was the sharp rejuin-
der; ''you say that .gain, and say it
slow" al ba
"lt's cold,' repeated the philosophers;
its scoid; it's cold; its scoid as thunder
said" :! a & ii !'fl
There was Il moments silence, dur
ing which Nantippe appeared to be.
buried in profound drought, while the
great disciple Of Anaxagoras occupied
the painful interval by girding up his
lOins and tucking his trousers in the
tops of his boots, and making other
preparations for lively run. Presently
there came from the window: !fs4-4;
"You hold on there airninute, young
man till . come down. / want to see
you second before go down town."
There was II fierce, rapid Tapping OF
Attic sandals upon the wet pavement,
the wild rush of cloaked figure
through the pelting rain, and ten min
utes later Socrates was explaining to
Plato and Xenophon that he had chas-
ed a street car all the way from the
PeiraicSateand was clear out Of breath.

If the democrats are angry at the republicans
