His ACridiruminatiOn.

A decent amount of ignorance seems
to me to be necessary to our continued
happiness" grumped the Old Codger
in his usual pessimistic way. If we
knew how different what other people
really think of US is from what we
think of ourselves, we would retaliate
by telling 'em our heartfelt, instead of
ostensible, opinions of them, and there
wOuld forthwith be wars and rumors of
wars. If we understood why the rail-
roads charge the Octopus six and one
half cents for a sixty-six-mile haul and
the uusophisticated yeomanry ten cents
for a six-mile haul of the same weight.
] for me we would hardly be civil to
the underpaid station agent and actual
ly put our disrespectful thnmbs to our
disreputable noses when the general
managers ornate private rolls by. And
if we knew the scope of the graft that
the mantle of senatorial courtesy hides
from public view our sheepish Haw-
hawsl, when the Honorable Mr.. So-and-
so comes home to joke and back-slap
us into line, would be changed to a
long-drawn, triumphant 'Ar-r-r-r-P of
wolfish glee as the barrel was kicked
out from under the statesman's feet
and he danced himself to death at the
end of his rope. Eh-yah For the good
of the party. and in the interest of
harmony and our own peace of mind,
it's we'll that we don't learn any faster
than just about enough to keep us
mildly irritated, Watson's Maga.

When Maxim, the famons gun

publicly boast of all this remedy
