A moments pause-Td like to ask
When l may fill my empty flask,
Where / can find a house for rent,
The landlords profit-what per
cent?
Manhattan's breeze is chilly. How
Can I keep warm? You're silent
now.
Pledge me glass! Oh, fill it soon!
A bumper to the wet new moon!
To Cuvillier a bumper more,
Who augurs wctter days in store!
Let him who courts the MUSES. nine
Drink three times per cent light
wine,
And others,-since the Graces fear
A stronger brew-three-ffty beer.
But, Muses. vassal, Graces' thrall,
I'd drink, impartial, to them all
Why hang the lutte and Tyre by?
Why mute the pipe? The coun-
try's dry.
Voice me the hope Of happier hours,
And say it-lavishly-with flowers.
Come, let our joyous revels rouse
Old Prohibition and his spouse,
Fair Temperance, charming girl,
Sadly allied to such a churl!

Most of the Presidential aspirants
have spoken in favor of their 100 per
cent Americanism. Probably that,
like many other things, is a question
of definition. Our conception Of it is
one thing; yours another. For the
best definition of 100 per cent Ameri-
canism we offer the choice of one copy
of any C Harold Bell Wright's books,
one copy of the American Magazine,
one of DR.. Frank Cranes books, one
song by Carrie Jacobs Bond, one por-
ton of rice pudding, one record of
"Was There Ever a Pal Like You ?"
or one bottle Of champagne ginger ale.
Perhaps Ewes mutations about the

1914, in "The True Cause of the
Watermen's Suit Concerning Players"
he said: "The statute was made in
Queen Mary's reign for our fares, and
the price of all things is raised except
poor mems labours."

Yes, but there never was so much
real sport as there is to-day. In the
gus most men said farewell to sport,
except the vicarious kind, at the age
of twenty or so. Now men call up
Columbus 5000 from the golf links or
the tennis court. In the in
terests of accuracy, it should be stated
that before we rode a Barnes White
FLYER our mount was a Monarch

Bright eyes and heightened color all reveal

You set the pulses in my temples drumming
You are the cause, yet you alone can heal

The esteemed, in manner of

Mr. Charles Dana Gibson as saving:
"'The Moon and L. which was INV
first picture to be accepted, was sug-
gested to me by the song Three Little
Maids From School, which Yum Yum
sings in The Mikado.' Yum. Yum
comes out and looks at the moon as
She sings it." We prefer to think
that Mr.. Gibson was incorrectly
quoted; if he wasn't, we protest
against the revision of Gilbert.
