CHESTNUTS.

The English way of telling a
joke, as exemplified in Punch, is
instructive. First comes the title
Of the joke; follows the news item,
sometimes paragraph, on which
the joke is based, lastly the joke
itself (often minus point Moth
ing can be more aggravating than
this inevitable method, when you
are not used to It. But even the
American anecdote has it's draw
backs, prefaced as it frequently is
with lengthy introduction and a
riot of unnecessary local color.
You know the style. Senator
Jones was discussing the tariff"
etc. "The Senator half concealed
smile. 1t is like the story of the
suffragette and the bottle of whis-
key he said" To waste time
reading jokes is in itself crime.
To read the introductions is mex
piable. The English system has
the advantage that, while the joke
may be hoary, the news basis may
be interesting. That there are
only twelve jokes in existence is
probable, but if so, the story of the
newly-married lady who returned
to the hotel, knocked on the door,
and said Honey" several times,
being finally answered by strange,
cold, masculine voice: MADAM,
this isn't a beehive; it's a bath
room" that story is one of them.

DEPARTED CRITICS LAY.

The famous critic died. His
life on earth was free from guile.
He very seldom beat his wife, was
never placed on trial. The sera-
phim and cherubim all lowered
round his head, and sang him a
celestial hymn. Now this is what
he said: ''The general ensemble
is good; for faults I do not seek,
but yet it should be understood
that the attack is weak. One feels
that there. is light and shade (es-
pecially in sharps) but some atten-
ton should be paid to certain rag
ged harps. OF course, with such
a youthful choir, it is not fair to
mention the lack of elemental fire,
the wandering attention The
seraphim were rather sore at being
thus addressed, but took him where
in grandeur soar the mansions OF
the blest. Dear mel" he said,
chow very quaint! Yes, really,
quite bizarre. And yet it would
provoke saint to journey up SO
far to see mixture of all modes
from twencent to antique. | fear
your overgrown abodes are infa-
nous, they creak, they CRATE on the
artistic sense, they're dissonance
in stone" Right here the silence
grew intense, assumed a hostile
tone. And finally a cherub spake,
$50 tell the good Saint Peter, this
man has crept in by mistake, the
good-for- nothing creatur'." Saint
Peter hemmed, Saint Peter hawed,
Saint Peter wrote an order to send
the gentleman abroad, far off across
the border. And as the critic fell
through space, he told the winds
of heaven, "This is indeed a hope
less case. Mistakes in grammar,
seven. The style is awkward,
otiose, and lacking in velocity, tru-
istic, infantile. Verbose? Replete
with crude verbosity."

In recent number of the Outlook, Ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt fred some hot shot at the maefac-
tors of great wealth, in the days of DID, Whether
not his "bg stick" blows in cold type in publ
cation of the character of the Outlook will carry the
weight they did while Mr. Roosevelt was President
remains to be He continues to hurl anathe-
with the vigor Of former days.
Here is samples
There must be a law to control the big men,
and therefore especially the big corporations in the
industrial democracy of today. This law must be
efficient, and therefore it must be administered by
executive officers, and not by lawsuits in the courts
If this is not DONE the agitation to increase out of
all measure the share of the Government in this
WORK will receive an enormous impetus The move
ment for Government control of the great business
corporations is more movement against liberty
than movement to put stop to violence is a
movement against liberty. On the contrary, in
each alike it is movement for liberty; in the
movement on behalf of the hardworking
man of small means, just in the other case it is
movement on behalf of the peaceful citizen who
does not wish liberty which puts him at the
mercy OF any rowdy who is stronger than he is. The
huge irresponsible corporation which demands lib
erty from the supervision of Government agents
stands on the same ground as the less dangerous
criminal of the streets who wishes liberty from
police interference.
But there is even more important lesson for
us Americans to learn and this also is touched upon
in what have quoted above. It is not true that
Americans feel that the ope end of life is to get
dollars; but the statement contains very unpleas-
ant element of truth. The hard materialism of
greed is just as Objectionable the hard materi-
Of brutality and the greed of the 'haves' ie

REEDY AND VIERECK.

Some obtuse individual, writing
to the St. Louis Mirror, processes
to be unable to understand the
mental attitude of the editor of
that brilliant one.man paper. He
cannot discern how exclusive ideas
OF literature can be logically COM
bined with inclusive ideas on poll
tics and sociology. He does not
think that the same mind can sim
celely appreciate Henry George
and Wa!ter.Pater. But why notf
The connection between the aris-
tocracies of letters and life is for
tuitous, and there is no reason why
Congressman should not be
poet. Again, there is a wide dis
tinction between approaching an
authors style or even his opinions
and holding these opinions as a
rigid creed. William Marion Reedy
has as many sides as the most COM
plicated and irregular polygon that
Euclid ever invented. First of all.
he is journalist, of type only
too scarce in these United States.
Secondly, he is a particularly ad-
die pated reformer, of the most
blatant and raucous stamp Il know
this is so. because [ read it in the
Wall Street Journal.) On the
third hand, he is an Irishman. On
the fourth charge, he stands con-
victsd of what it's enemies call
aestheticism. Filthy, he is of st.
Louis, and provincial accordingly.
And over and above all, whether
he writes of the Single Tax, of the
latest divorce scandal, of insuffer-
able local dignitaries and move
ments, of Emma Goldman or of
William James, the man is an art
ist. No evidence could be more:
conclusive of this fact than a COM
parison of any of his styles with
the machine-made righteousness
of G. S. Viereck, whose "Confes-
sions of a Barbarian are running
in the same paper. Mr.. Viereck's
pose may be described: cam | not

ness of the worthy .Baudelaire.
When. Heine let fly his bitter
shafts, the early nineteenth century
was successfully shocked. In this
more sophisticated age, something
more is needed. Mr.. Reedy's ju-
dicial recommendation of the views

barous than the whole of Mr.. Vie

Clothes.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
To dress well is a fine art. and any
one who dresses well is entitled to be
called an artist. Unfortunately the term
well dressed" has come to mean, some
times arrayed according to the latest
cry in fashions. or else attired In gar
ments of prohibitive costliness. 1t ought
10 imply the possession and exercise or
good taste on the part of the wearer or
the garments; 1t should mean that the
costume is becoming, without, regard to
whether 1t ia Of the very latest mode and
pattern, and without reference to Its
costlinees. A man clad In plain nome
spun material may be well dressed;
woman attircd in silks and laces may
be very badly dressed. No one can be
we'll dressed who violates the canons OF
good taste and II the costume does not
fit the occasion and the circumstances, 1t
does not matter how we'll II fits the
wearer.
The best dressed people do not know
the meaning of best clothes. They have
certain articles Of dress that are more
expensive and elaborate than others,
which they wear occasionally merely be-
cause they are only suitable upon oc-
casion. But the real meaning of best
clothes is the clothes that are best Tor
the purpose in hand. If one is digging
in meadow, blue jeans are the best
clothes: II he is leading cotilion even
ing dress" constitutes the best clothes;
each sort Of apparel is appropriate TO Its
own occasion and inappropriate under
other circumstances.

Rhvmes With Dickens.
4 the London Chronicle,

From the London Chronicle.
Persons wishing TO write odes TO DICK
ems in honor of the nincty-seventh ami
yersary of his birth will find a sad
dearth of suitable rhymes TO his name
In response to an appeal made some years
no. the readers of Notes and Queries"
could produce only the following:
A splendid muse OF fiction has Charles
Dickens:
But now and then. just as the interest
thickens,
He stills his pathos. and the reader sick
This was capped by:
Home IL made happier by the works OF
Dickens:
OF one and all-the sire. the little chick
ems.
Also their dam-the joyous pulse hs
quickens.
After this no more rhymes were forth
coming, either because the resources OF
our tongue were exhausted OF because
rhymesters felt that it could not be i'm
proved upon.
