all get around in the morning to tell you
about that everlasting red.=ipe tomato and
the sugar corn. And yet Prof. Mac Donald.
of the Bureau OF Education. is writing u
new book. in which he is many leagues off
from the true cause OF local suicidal ten
dencies.
A CORRUPTER OF MORALS.
1t is only a week ago that Philadei-
phian was notified to leave lodging house
in this city because he read aloud the hand
made motto on the chimney this way:
"'God bless our home, but damn that
sugar corn"
In truth, this early Gotterdammerung To-
caiism of daybreak marauders is severe
test on Christian self-abnegation, Christian
sleep and all manner OF Christian Endeav-
or. We are morally certain that il the
ladies of the d. A. R, the w. c. T L, the
c. E., the E. L., or the Baliington Booth
Brigade, knew that most of the early corr,
early okra tthatis the 6 a. m. variety, the
early parsley, etc, went into the pot ir-
retrievabiy damned from all the bedrooms
on the street they would confine themselves
to canned oyster soup in this world and the
next,
We have been thinking OF asking Lieut.
Amiss If he intends to let the hueksters CRY
turnips and things down the long alleys and
avenues of The tents OF the Christian En-
deavor people when they encamp OH the
the White Lot. 1t has possibly occurred to
Lieut. AmIss that these people should go
away as morally perfect as when they land
10 this city. AS We said, there is a limit
to such things. II the hucksters are permit
ted to rercolate freely in the alleys Chair
man Smith or the Committee of S96 might
Just as well change the name OF the so
ciety TO that OF the Christian Endurance"
TO which we have all belonged, 10! these
many years.
There is one good thing to be said about
the hucSsters, and that is that they ap-
parently know not what they do. In this
respect they are different from the late
night and early morning cats. and yet we
have never heard of a raid by the police
on the cat roof garden nuisance. There
isn't policeman in the First precinct who
doesn't know that the cat is the dam of
the kit, and that the kit when she grows
up is the worst of the dam lot.
Even Major Moore, when he made that
speech at Atlanta. did not refer to this
suspect. We presume that he conceived the
cat nuisance to come within the province
OF the fire department at long range.
While the cat business Is not strictly
germane to the subject. We are neverthe-
less in favor first. of the suppression OF
the cat outrage On our personal affidavit
If necessary. and shall leave the early cab
bage question to either the Cosmos or
Chaos Club, latter preferred.
DANTE REVISED.
There is. however, one thought which is
absolutely germane to this discussion Of
nightmares which will cap the climax
should it ever be materialized. Suppose.
contrary to the providence of God, it shoul&
occur to these shatterers of the atmos-
phere of the roseate dawn that they could
improve their business on the bicycle; and
this, about the only thing or business in
which THAT machine has not yet been
utilized.
To the minds eye it is no florid picture
of Titan or landscape of hell from Dante,
which will then be visible to the naked
eye of the man or woman in the night robe
de rigeur who listens to the passing show
of that day and generation. There will be
an inteminable procession of vegetables
on wheels and a ringing of doorbells, to
which the augelus or the cu-few or q
general fire alarm will be as zephyr
to the lamentations of Jeremiah, played
by a brass band, drunk from the piccOlO
to the bass drum.
Looked at in its most somber light the
