How Ellis Wasted His Wasted Time

to our goal is the difference between sue
cess and half-suceess; often it is the DIFF
ference between success and failure"
Now, why did AIDE, Harrington and
Chambers an everybody beat Ellis Parker
to the Temple of Mammon ard scoop out
the nuggetsf Not because they wasted
less time than Ellis Parker Butler-but
because they knew how to waste time
Mr.. Buffers time has been wasted; Mr.
AIDE knew how to waste time. That's
the difference. The greatest book that
was ever written was written by a, man
who wasted most of his time with pirates
and other useful luxuries-one Cervantes.
The secret of success" Whatever that
word means) is to dramatize, exploit and
capitalize all your wasted time. Two
hours for work, five hours for sleep and
eighteen hours to make damphool Of
yourself is the proper slogan.
We know great writer who upset
full whiskey bottle one day accidentally
while wasting his time in booze mosque,
and he wrote q superb column about it;
another month he spent idling away in
Kelly pool, and out of it came, based on
that fascinating waste of time, a series
of magnificent metaphysically humorous
paragraphs.
1t all depends, Mr.. Butler, who wastes
time. We must regretfully write it down
that you are not anointed by the Muse
of Loafers, else you would not look upon
yourself as the goat of the Spirit of Pro
crastination.
1t is true, you have written a readabl,
little book on your wasted time-but you
wouldn't have written it If you hadn't
wasted the time. And instead Of deery-
ing your goat-feathers and moralizing we
advise you Chad business, advisingi) to
90 on wasting time, keep telling rs all
about it, stop preaching, and your goat
feathers will turn to golden sheaves.

By BENJAMIN DE cAssEREs.

ELILS PARKER BUTLER has writ
IL ten a very little book called Goat
Feathers, a jeremiad over his own pro-
crastinations, which are the thieves OF his
bank account. Time wasting is, we be-
lieve, the mother of genius. But Ellis
will have nothing to do with genius. he
is cash-down, go-and- get-it, what-er-yer-
rot-in-yer- jeans business man. And
thereby hangs a moral that adorns his
tale.
"Goat-feathers land now prick up your
ears, We beautiful wastrels, and grid up
your attention, We unproduetive lounge
lizards and cosmic loafers are the little
distractions that take your time from the
real business of life. They are the Great
est Things on Earth why the dithyrambic
capitals to make a man look like a
goat"
Ellis tells us that he might have been as
great a humorist as Mark Twain or
George AIDE or Chauncey Depew, an

and That and come home with What and
When-and put them to bed. He has
spent the best part of his life answering
telephone calls to 60 out and examine the
quality of the corner nectar, requests to
sit on Committees to Test the Sunlight
on Grass, to attend balls in Flushing,
Greenwich Village and buck and wing
ehoruses in Jacks, to aid in "drives" of
all kinds, 10 write an obituary about a
man who busted his roll for ten spot, to
shoot Kelly pool with Don Marquis and
Paul Thompson, to serve with Abe Baer-
mann on a Committee to Endow Bald
Heads with Wigs and so on.
But personally we believe this is the
best part of life. All the rest is humbug.
The time we wasted was the time that
was our own. The time in which we
were useful" belonged to the boss-and
it is really the boss that bolsheviks the

we find in The Ne~ Way, but we do know
that if ours were the dedication in the first
place we should very much object to hav-
ing such priceless verses as 4 Heavenly
Intrigue and Presence lifted into another
volume and placed beneath alien initials.
1t is well known that any book OF
poems, however small, should contain at
least three that are uBintelhgible. Il is
not wise for a poet to be too simple. You
can understand nearly everything that
Scudder Middleton writes, but here and
there, as in Children, will be found the
saving bits of mystery. This, by the way,
is among the poems reprinted from his
earlier collection. 1t is fine to remember
the simple and trenchant power of such
lines as these from a song to Life called
The Return:
"He has come back. ...
"Now we shall keep him in our hearts
And heal him by the music there.
We shall give War the truthful name
And snatch the roses from his hair.
eve shall make songs and cities now,
Chart skies and tame the eastern fire,
And build an earthly Paradise
For him by engines Of desire"
This same spirit will be found in The
first poem, 1910, while for sheer beauty
of expression such as many poets would
60 far to find there are verses like Car
meal, which opens on a particularly lovely
image:
"Why do you 60 before the maple leaves
Open, like little hands, to welcome
springf"
and Romance, from which We quote these
lines:
"Why should we argue with the falling
dust
Or tremble in the traffic of the daysf
Our hearts are music makers in the clouds,
Our feet are running on the heavenly
ways"
