Satire i.
BEFORE the eighteenth amendment
temperance advocated prohibition; now
prohibition advocates temperance.
1T is temperance which inhibits US
from adding monuments in Spencer
Square.
BUT why are not monuments raised
and trees planted in honor of our heroes?
AND why do we give them stones in
stead of bread?
IN France they built roads; here
they walk them.
AND the tire makers wax rich
AND you and wax Incorporate when
tires burst
WHY not make opportunities for
work compulsory; then you and 1 will
not become Incorporate.
THE Roman satiric poet dealt in crude
realisrns Our Juvenalan contrib doesn't write
poetry but his paragraphs are sharply pointed.
We welcomed prohibition when it came; or

The state of Illinois certainly is verg-
ing on the climate of California, Today
my rounds l noticed in plot of
ground on North Crafford street cannas
of beautiful golden yellow nicely in
late bloom and not far from them beau
tiful large cosmas in a pretty bloom and
just think of it, here on the 22nd day of
October, and at the same time your cor
respondent has a bed of tender green
onions one could ask for and plenty
of them This certainly has been an I'M
usual season for the second crop as far
as potatoes, onions and beans are con-
cerned I have been more or less con-
nected with the garden business and I
can say that in all my garden experience
1 have never noticed anything of the
kind. I expect some one will say Gran
dali only Is giving this as bunk Now
if anyone doubts this let him come to
my home and will show him about $50
feet of nice green onions growing as in
the spring time.
SAYS Professor Frederick Starr: 1T is onIy
our American good nature that causes us TO
call a. girl beautiful who is not phenomenally |
ugly There is no real beauty in the United |
States. Only among the Lberian and kindred
races is real beauty TO be found.
Could one say Eyes, one could; and we'll |
say it) that the professor must have been look |

All. SOLOMON, THEM WAS THE DAYS.
WHAT?
Sir: illustrating the way nice descriptive |
phrases have gone up Salt Greek as skirts
| call your attention to the blunt statement of
facts and lack of musical technique in these
lines from The Wake of the News:
Hickory, Dickery Dock.
The mouse ran up the clock
But hearing a scream
He slid down seam,
For the clock was designed on a sock.
MAIZE"
About twenty years ago L read of similar
incident recorded in these words:
"Dickery, dickory dock
a mouse ran up the clock
Alas! the clock was one of those
embroidered on my Mary's hose.
The mouse and I can truly swear ,
That Mary dainty hose doth wear
In describing the affair it seems 10 me the
OLD verses are of much finer poetical texture
than the seemingly blunt way the incident is
recorded in The Wake. I will leave the YER
dict to the Baldheads who are old enouph m
have read both versions
