Colonel Bob" Ingersolls Sunday
nights at home are invariably attended
by great many bright people, and they
hear great many very bright thingt
from the lips of the noted infidel in his
peculiar line of disbelief and on other
topics. The Colonel's particular hobby
Just now is to tell what he would do il
ne had the ordering of things on earth
For one thing, he says, he would make
health instead of disease contagious, and
for another, instead of having mud and
slush In the streets he would fill up the
holes in the pavements with ice cream
and cake. Another of the Colonel's hob.
bies is to lament the death of great men
of this age by which to judge its owl
greatness. He declares that we hav.
produced no great literary characters,
no great statesmen, poets, artistic, scien.
fists or other men who wi make the age
famous. If it was not for knocking over
the fabric of the Colonel's argument on
the one hand, and building up his ego
tism on the other, l would remark that
the age has produced at least one great
iDfid6l. And a great majority of the
civilized world really thinks that is one
too many.
