COMMENTS ON MEN AND
MATTERS OF THE WORLD

clamation calls into viewi The youth OF
America has spouted the defiance of
Regulus to his foes it boots not how
many times and the old speech still holds
it's popularity. "Regulus to the Car
thagenians'' is of course fine bit of or
atory-when not delivered by a school
boy No doubt Regulus in the realm OF
the shades. regrets that he did not say
it himself, but times oft-repeated usage
has bred the contempt of familiarity and
now its lines awaken amusement mingled
with pathos rather than the fire of enthu-
siasm which its author intended.
SAID A BEAR IN COLORADO.
It's back to the pines for me, for me,
Back to the mournful pines.
Teddy is out and after me-
It's easy to read the signs.
I'll find me hole In mountain glen
And there I'll dsereetly hide
When the Presidents out and after me
1 lose every bit of my pride.
With whoop and roar he's on the
trail
Looking for something to slay,
So here's where l sneak, vamoose,
depart
And rapidly fade away
The woods are not safe when he's
about
And running's not my long suit.
So III trip along while yet there is
time.
Ere Teddy begins to shoot.
It's back to the pines for me, for me,
l flee, though filled with disgust.
And there I'll stay for many day
TIL Teddy takes after a trust
That is really pretty smile which
young Rockefeller. Just as the American
Beauty rose can only be produced by
sacrificing the early buds that grow up
about it. so the trust must be the re-
suit of destroying smaller business con-
Germs that would impede its magnificent
growth. The smile is not more beauti-
full than apt 1t Is an admirable illustra-
ton of modern industrial combination
but proletariats see little else in common
between the trust and the rose.
Now the glad season comes on apace
when the summer boarder will flourish.
Already wise heads are giving advice to
city boarders who visit the country and
country people who act as hosts and
hostesses. 1t is anticipated that the first
summer boarder jokes will appear the
latter part of next month.
An Ohio burglar took a bath, put on
fine suit of clothes which he found in
the house and carried off all the jewery
he could find. There is nothing like being

house.
d Now Dr. GLADDEN. jumps on the law
yersl This profession is entirely too much
under the hammer of public opinion. 1t
is bad enough to be the subject of inane
jokes but when eminent divines join in
the chorus of pert photographers and un-
intermittent knockers it were time that
the lawyers make objections
Bishop Joseph H. Berry of Buffalo g.
vised the young ministers at the Newark
conference of the Methodist church to
be exceedingly wary of women 1t appears
that the bishop knows a thing or two
even if he is a preacher.
FALSE.
"A rag and a bone and hank o. hairs
Is a harsh description of woman fair,
But alack and alas, one must aver
That often these don't belong to her.
A FALSE ALARM.
(Ergophobia is the new name given by
science to that tired feeling)
, Ergophobia was his complaint
He was only feeling tired
But when he heard that fearsome
word
He straightway then expired.
At the Jefferson day dinner in New
York Judge Parker will speak 1.-The
Future of the Democratic Party" Nat
