To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-.Sir: Cupid
is queer little chap. and the older he grows
the crankier he gets. He Is n bigger fool
maker to-day than he was 1000 years ago,

resistess moral-tangler and common .sense-
smnsher In this 109th yoar OF Yankee Doodle
than when he made tho Psalmist David a Nor
mon and an assassin. He 10 n more egregious

mers heroes on that wild Grecinn bender nfter

scionable heather amid all our nineteenth con-
tury blaze OF Gospel light and liberty than
when he and his scanty.skirted mamma. Mrs.
Venus. led tho pagan orgies OF Athenian dam
sells beneath the shade OF ancient olive groves.
