AS | WAS SAYING

deem, and got back alive and written a prose poem,
The First Voyage over" in the August Century
Hurrah for Theodore! The very spirit ot the
mighty, tumblng ocean sings In his romantic out
burst: Something came up in my throat-a QUICK
unbdden lump OF emotion
Thousands have been through that experience
Some have related It in tragic verse-the author OF
Cast thy Bread upon the Waters" notably, and the
other sweet bard who twttered, to the tune Of In
the Cleaning:
In the steamer, oh. my darling,
When the foghorns scream and blow.
And the footsteps of the steward
Softly come and softly 60"
leading up to the thrilling scene which he explains
TO his lady love in the melodous lines:
81 was seized with a sudden longing
To gaze upon the deep. blue sea.
II was best that should leave you
Best for you, and best for me"
EXQUISITE. no doubt; and yet We leave 1t 10 you II
Mr. Drcsers quick, unbddcn lump Of emotion
cannot give it cards. spades and centreboard and
beat it 10 wind ard.
That human grasshopper. Governor Eugene y.
Foss who studied Massachusetts politics while an
attendant in a private asylum years ago is Jumping
back into the G. O. T., and begging still another re-
nomination. SO be 1t. Somehody has got to swal-
low a Republican defeat in Massachusetts next fall
Why not Democrat?
Wow, but It's a dandy girl this week on the cover
Of The Saturday Evening Post'-a ripper.-and
down below we read In red letters, From the Col
lection OF the Duke" SO? Then We congratulate
his grace as well hers.
Shocking threat this Of the l,loo Hamburgcrs who
..f.F and
covenant to seccde from the State Church If the
Senate raises the tax on dachshunds. Some excuse,
though What would become OF the steak that
made Hamburg famous?
Still. We do not believe in putting dogs before
piety We were the first 10 demonstrate with
careless tenor for rendering Before the Lord ~e
bow" so that it rang forth as Before the Lord We
bow WOW wow"
This is the season FOR rant about scenery. and we
think "Tay Pays Weekly" could be better employed
than in calling it vulgar. Vulgar is It? Well
well. We should like to know If II is any more vul
gar than scenery. Those mountains how loud.
The ocean-how lacking in reposc OF manner! And
that scenery in the hotel prospcctus-how down
right impossible.
Which is the funniest World Power; We know.
thanks TO debates in Congress as To whether your
Uncle Samuel should dare extend a protecting coat
tail to Americans bothered in Mexico. but We
are patriotic. and the mystery must remain forever
locked within bosom
Peaceful by nature. dc,est war. But breth-
rem we feel that the hour has struck FOR action.
Business is dull Trade languishcs. Think how
times will improve when hbcrate the Il3,G2l9 l9SI
tons Of embalmcd beef left over from our last re-
splcndent scrimmage, True, it was not well re-
ceived at the time. But that was fifteen years ago
and we hear that it has gained greatly in flavor
Besides consider Japan Pretty cocky she has
grown, thinking heroes afraid to die, whereas
four Years war with Mexico would refresh her
memory. Afraid to die! Why. brethren, they are
crazy to- and can't wait. They die in heaps, with
the noblest enthusiasm. before they have much
shifted powder.
Perhaps we take too optimistic view but We
imagine that repetition OF what happened in '9S
will omen Japan's eyes to the matchless military
genius we can command when our blood is up.
Fired by the flaming demand for 'photo-plays,'
our friend Downes has created the following
scenario entitled THE Triumph of Bobble; or You
Can't Beat the Barefoot Boy:
Farmyard. Bobbe shows Dad the circus hand
bill. yep, you can go II you're good Bobbic
teasos cat Thar. naow, you shan't go" Family
drives off TO the circus leaving Bobbie behind. Al
ternate glimpses of the circus and Of Bobbie who
consoles himself by devouring seven cans Of blue
berry Jam in the farmhouse pantry. Vengeance inn
pends. as the folks will soon be homo. Selling the
cat Bobbie dips her paws in the Jam and let's her
go Trail Of dark footprints pantry floor kitchen
noor and back porch Finale: Farmer seen behind
barn with cat in one hand and hatchet in the other
while Bobbie grins from afar
We have told Downes that consider this a
most immoral film, hcinous in its influence on the
Young He realizes the embarrassment, but plans
10 get out Of it by changing the title TO THE Faacy
of Circumstantial Evidence: or Plea for the Re-
call Of Judges Warranted Innocent by Our Private
Censor Meodore Moosevet' r. l.. II.
