The Loveliest Lie in Litera-
ture--The Ingalls, "Oppor-
tunity" Sonnet

Opportunity knocks every instant!
" c.
| !: Is Jp 20 you 10 open the door and
lot Opportunity IN, invite him TO take
Off his ,hins,N. st down aud make him
sc.t n home.
" c.
Eut IL is not truo that il you mis-
take Opportunity for a book agent or II
Turkish pedder or rent collector and
refuse to open the door ne will 90 and
return no more.
" c.
For years ! had sought Opportunity
the opportunity to find out If the late
Senator John }. Ingalls, really wrote
that celebrated sonnet-THE LOWELL
EST LIE IN LITERATURE-about
Opportunity knocking only once and
| then heating it in disgust because you
had cold feet on hospitality.
N c.
And last night ] met a professor OF
oratory who taught Mr.. Ingalls, how to
crate.
N c.
Yes said the professor, "Ingalls
did write that sonnet. He showed me
the original manuscript, which he got
back from the Century Magazin
after the editor had paid him $3.50 for
those fourteen lines of egregious error"
N G.
And I'm Just wondering if Mr. In
gals would have received as much as
$50 cents if he had told the ordinary
unnteerstiug, prOsaic truth about ON
portunity. / have my doubts. I've been
trying to tell the truth myself these
many years, and never got paid regu-
larly al that rate.
N G.
But then I'm not Ingalls,.
N c.
But I'm Opportunity's chosen host
and so are you; likewise the third party,
which means everybody else.
N c.
Mr.. Ingalls, was a brilliant man, but
in that sonnet he sounded a mighty false
philosophy of life / don't believe he
believed il himself-he just simply
needed the money; and I'm perfectly
willing to believe that Opportunity
knocked only once in that respect for
John j.
N c.
But Opportunity doesn't knock and
run away and never come back. You
may hear his tap.tap.tap at your door
any time YOU quit making noise
talking fOolishnesS.
N C.
My notion is that no piece OF poetry
has done so much harm to humanity
as that pessimistic perversion OF plain
truth. SO many folks believe anything
they read If it makes a hit with them.
N c.
Some even swallow NATURAL GAS"
without chewing it, am told!
N c.
"Boost-don't knock" is not in the
bright lexicon Of Opportunity's youth.
He is always knocker.
N G.
II YOU are half awake you cannot
fail to hear him, though you shouldn't
expect Op TO operate with sledgc'
hammer or the war.mace of Thor. Just
that little taptap.tap, like wood
peckcr pecking at Il sour-apple tree
that's old Oppy trying to give you
tip.
N G.
Don't let the wax Of Incidence harden
IN your ears. Keep 'em open for Op'
'ortunity--and jump for the door knob!
