uhder hyperion stern gaze.
If you had said simpkins, falling
in with Hyperion manner, you'd
nave seen that some ST. Louis fore
caster had predicted the end of the
world for April L.
But a good many cranks have done
the same thing before said Pollerby.
Nothing so very important about
that
But the others hadn't predicted it
for April Fools day. said Hyperion.
And that's what made this particu-
lar crank worth noticing"
But STILL began Pollerby.
BE still" interrupted Hyperion
firmly. You were going to call it
trivial
Pollerby assented.
Well, it is trivial 10 find a crank
like that possessed of enough sense OF
human to get April as the day for
the arrival of Gabriel? Isn't it the
appearance of a wholly new species
OF cranks? Ever hear OF a crank like
that before? Man alive. if you're
looking for important things, there's
a study in psychology that would last
you during your national campaigns
and a couple of European wars"
If you'll allow me to OBSERVE
said Pollerby, 1T strikes me that the
campaign is still fairly important,
compared with some of these things
you're mentioning.'
Whats new in the campaign to at
tract interest?" asked Snaggles. Don't
we know it all? Dozen and half
more delegates for Taft every day.
When there's really something new
we'll sit up and blink our peppers at
it.
'.Populist convention turned down
Bryan said Stillbury. Don't forget
that
Sure" assented Snaggles readily.
There's something nice and to the
point That's worth knowing. But
all this about Taft says and Hughes
says and Minnesota solid for Johnson
and such stuff. What's the use of
reading it over and over again day
after day, like Pollerbyo"
Most interesting thing in the cam
paign so far, said Banders, was the
dream they flashed on up about get
ting moving pictures of Taft
When was that? l hadn't seen it,
said Pollerby.
Course you hadn't It's toe I'M
portant for you to notice. commented
Snaggles.
That was a real campaign item,
worth reading" continued Banders.
Bigger news than that the other
day said Sti]lbury.
Bigger than Taft?" asked Snaggles.
More Of it. anyway. Woman out in
Ohio had five children all at once.
There's a record for YOU.
All die" asked Hyperion.
Didn't notice replied Sillbury.
Probably. That doesn't affect the
record.
Way to live is to drink sour milk, :"
said Simpkins. Bishop Follows,
see. says a man could live to be 12o
years old if he lived on sour milk and
few other health foods
What's the nse?" asked Snaggles
No fun after you're 100, I'll bet"
We'll, | don't know" said Simp-
kins. They'll probably have all sorts
of things to make life worth living
for centenarians by the time we get
there. They're doing things like that
all the time. Here's an Illinois uni
versity, for instance, just established
chair for the cultivation of good
taste, with a special professor to tell
the youngsters how to dress we'll. 1t
won't be long before they have a spe-
cial course for nonOgenarians of bet
ter, to teach 'em how to be happy
though ancient
'Where'd you learn all those
things?" asked Pollerby obviously.
In the papers. old man. Better try
reading EN-. Lots of really important
stuff in 'em, if you only read intelli-
gently" Snaggles was impressive as
he answered.
We'll, l must confess" began
Pollerby
You must confess that you proba-
bly, learned to read the papers in a
correspondence school, that told you
how to Judge news by the big head
lines. and never go beyond the first
and editorial pages. What you want
to do is to mosey through it, taking
things the way they come, just as you
do in business. Then you'd have
something interesting to think about,
besides the Far Eastern question and
the Twiddle-de-dee letters and the tar
Tiff, and such trifles.'
And the group so!emnly agreed with
