Wilbur ID. Nesbit in Chicago Post
Gentle reader, have you ever observed
at football game the agile youth who
stands on the sidelines, holding a pail
of water in which floats a sponge?
From time to time during lull in
the days occupation ne rushes madly
into the field and some husky player
dips into the bucket, seizes the sponge
shoves it into his mouth and squeezes
a drink from it, Then he throws il
back into the bucket Once in a while
he misses the bucket and the sponge
falls on the ground.
| And occasionally someone is knocked
out, then his fevered brow is cooled by
the same sponge
Let us not go further into detail
but if you watch the sponge you will
realize all the more the horrors of the
game.
East st. Paul Times: The smiles
and pleasant greetings 1 see and hear
along the street give me more pleasure
than the money [ receive. You see,
have to work for the money, while
the pleasant greetings are given out
of generous hearts. Sometimes ii
doesn't seem worth while to put in
such hard clicks" on this little paper
and study and scheme so much to make
it a success, but when / get out into
the community and find folks so pleas
ant, so readily disposed to overlook my
shortcomings and so pompt to notice
and to speak of the little points OF
merit, | say to myself-or, rather, my
self says to me-if you can't win here
you can't win anywhere; you'll find
human nature averages much the same
