The Solitary Breakfast.

At first blush breakfast seems a So
ciable meal at that hour man is best
satisfied, or least discontinued, with
himself, and in a mood to make the
most of the world. Human vitality is
at its maximum, mere existence Tugs
eXhilaration along with it; good humor
mantles everything. But there is an
uncertainty in company even when you
may choose it; for temperament is
never to be wholly trusted (artists are
dangerous people to meet at break
fast, and there are thousand hap
penings-troubled sleep, early awaken
ing, mosquitoes, a surmised mouse, no
hot water, buttoned boots, putting
studs in a shirt-that may occur be-
tween going to bed at night and COM
ing down to breakfast in the morning,
and ill-adjusted feelings in even one
member of the company may dampen
the spirits of all. Company Is no doubt
the better state, and brings out the full
capacities for pleasure that lie in
breakfast, but a solitary breakfast is
safer; solitary pleasantness is more
tempered, but it is more certain.-Hen-
ry Dwight Sedgwick in Yale Review.

The FOOL AND HIS CAR

When read Of the wreckng of mo-
tor cars, ! feel
The car that goes wrong has fool at
the wheel,
The amateur racers, the gluttons for
speed;
Divorce from the car is the law that
they need
The fool and his car should be
parted.
Tue driver who takes all the crossings
on high
And never looks out whether trains be
nearby,
Who runs down The Waterman and
smashes the gate
And puts all his trust in the kindness
Of fate
That fool and his car should be
parted.
The Chauffeur who tears along populous
streets,
Who misses the trolleys by marvellous
feats,
Who "burns up the road and prefers
the wrong side,
And tells Of bis exploits with voluble
pride
That fool and his car should be
parted.
The driver who mixes his drinks and
his gas,
The Chauffeur who drives with an arm
round lass,
The fool who conyerses and turns back
his head
70 hear what his friends in the tonneau
have said
Such fools and their cars should be
parted.
The fool is a creature that never can
learn,
The fool very often has "money to
burn, y
And drivers who carry more dollars
than sense
Just charge up their fines to the run
ming expense
The fool and his car should be
parted.

and hustle confused him. He partook
Of a frugal meal at cheap restaurant
He put on his old silver-bowed spec

the address of the brokers who had In

filled with colored Autographs com
