Marshall r. Wilder used to tell
story that ran like this:
"Oh, yes, that reminds me. The
night before | left New York | went
to my phone and rang up central
Ting-a-ling. What NUMBER Gimme
the Hoffman House bar Ting-a-ling.
'Hellor
Hello; is that the Hoffman barr
Yes
lis Mr.. Nat Goodwin therer
"'Yes.
".Thats very strange. Goodby.'"
Wilder never failed to win a laugh
with this, especially If Nat Goodwin
were one Of the party.
The humor of the thing rather palled
upon Nat, for one evening Mats turn
as a raconteur preceded Wilder's, and
he told little story himself.
"Ah, yes, that reminds me. The
night before / left New York l called
up central on the telephone and asked
for the Hoffman House bar Ting-a-
ling-a-ling. Is that the Hoffman House
barr
Yes.

"'Yes.

THAT'S very strange! Goodby.'"
The Favored.
Life gave him hours OF labor long
With guerdons frail and few,
And Fate no gift of precious song
For cheer the gray years through,
But God, who knew how soon the charm
OF such gifts may depart,
Gave him the greatest gift of all
happy heart
He found much bitter in the cup
That he was forced to drain.
When mornings sun rose brightly up
1t often set with rain.
When Fortune seemed to wander near
She came but to depart,
For he had what she could not give
A happy heart.
