QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES
JOHN WINGFIELD GATEwoo,


Oswald Garrison Willard, the New York
radical, said the other night at Cooper
Union: Our young men, chastened by the
World War, have higher ideals than those
OF 1914. A notorious war profteer was talk
ing to group of young men on a golf club
veranda Look at me-, the profteer said.
Twenty years ago poor boy, working like
dog, and today He chewed violently on
his dollar cigar Look at mel he repeated.
See what I've done for myself The young
men looked at him curiously and then one
of them said Your motives good, Of
course, but doesn't your family object to
your posing as a horrible example in this
way?'" $50
And so this is little Walter!" said the
visitor. Dear me, what big boy you are
now! I wouldn't have believed it possible!"
Mother said Walter, when the visitor
had gone, doesn't it pass your comprehen-
sion how persons in whom one would natural-
ly expect ordinary degree of intelligence
appear to believe that the children of their
acquaintance will always remain infants, and
persist in expressing surprise when they OBJ
serve the perfectly natural increase in the
stature?"
Mrs. Newlyrich, who was sending her boy
to a first-class public school in England,
wrote to the head master stating that she
was Every particular" and asking If any in.
quiry was made into the antecedents Of the
scholars.
The head master replied: Madam, If you
pay the fees regularly and your boy behaves
himself no inquiry will be made into his
antecedents."
The school dramatic society was giving its
first performance of the season, and the play
they had chosen for the momentous occasion
was Julius Caesar
All went smoothly till Caesar's dead body
was brought in, and Mark Antony l&d to de-
liver his famous speech.
He put his heart into the part, and the
audience felt acutely for the poor citizens.
who were all presumably horror-stricken and
overcome with grief, when Antony gently
but firmly grasped, as. he thought, the face
CLOTH and slowly, very slowly, began to draw
it back.
Just then an excited whisper came from
the otEer end of the corpse:
"This end, you idiot"
But Antony was too much wrapped in
grief to hear.
He persevered, and then suddenly disclos-
ed to the intently gazing audience Caesars
shoes.
left Mrs. Daniels with a friend whose abili-
ties as a scandal-monger and mischief-dnak-
er are pre-eminent. When he returned he
poked his head into the drawing room and
said, with sigh of relief: "That old cat
gone, I suppOse?"
For an instant there was dreadful silence,
for as he uttered the last word he encoun-
tered the stony glare of the lady who had
been in his mind. Then Mrs. Daniels spoke
quite calmly: '"The old cat?" she said. ooh,
yes, dear; [ sent it to the cats home in a
basket first thing this morning.

CHRISTMAS REFLECTIONS
OF A GEORGIA CRACKER

There may be in some fur corner
Of this rollickin' old Earth
+ land more filed with sunshine j.
With laughter, love and mirth; =
A land Of milk and honey x

Where pore-folks roll in money
And eat pound-cake with cream

They may in that fur corner,
By some hook or crook of art,
Grow watermelon larger
With a richer, redder heart; !,

That the women have more grace

Against all worldly strife;

1t may be that the maidens
IN this fur-off land Of charm
All have hearts that love more truly
And handclasp far more warm;
And their kisses may be sweeter
Than these Georgia maidens give. II

Where these lovely live;

Where the cotton's finer-wh:ter,
Where boll-weevils grow still thicker

And there may be other insects
More destructive than the weevil-

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

Wise parents aren't above apologizing to
cheir children.
Some men wouldn't be other than hypo-
critics if they could.
Many man is prematurely gray because
of his wifes auburn tresses.
It's the fault of the player If an upright
piano is a downright nuisance.
Some men refuse to work because they are
afraid that hey might acquire the habit.
If you don't care for the things you can't
obtain you will be fairly happy.
Men seldom fall so deeply in love that
they can't climb out by the ladder Of reason.
