ten OF them will tell wonderful story
of how some other man stole their
great ideas and got rich or famous

and you will find. In the majority of
cases, that the man who claims to have
originated the idea did not do 1t at

Insect Idiot.

Scientists tell us that when a grass
hopper catapults his corporate self
into space by the propulsive power OF
his hinged hopping poles he has no
idea where he is going to light. 1t
may be in the lake or the brush fire
or the Kerosene can or the pansy bed ;
1t is all the same to him. Examine his
countenance. He looks the perfect
fool: At the top OF the head two
bulging eyes as expressive as the eye
Of dead carp; and below this is
nose like wooden plowshnre. This Is
all. There is no forehead. no brain
and no room for one. The grasshop-
