Business of Borough Council then
opened with the usual opening prayer by
Rev. Brough Clerk U. Grant Pilberry who
finally said Amen.
'Mr Cbairman," cried Hon. Quinn
loudly the same instant Rev. Borough
Clerk Pilberry was saying, Amen" re-
gardless of Hon. Luther Mickelman al
ready standing on the floor.
Frantic excitement was the order OF the
day. Finally with both parties shouting
fiercely for ten minutes it had to be de-
cded by Mayor Calvin Van Scoick that
Hon Quinn had to be legally given the
floor Hon. Quinn proved by book called
Hannigan's Handbook on Parliamentary
Procedure he always carries that there is
a rule saying that the Chair hasfto recog-
nize the one that first says Mr. Chairman,
Authority Hannigan said, and not the one
who stands there, Hon. Quinn said, for two
hours like a big stuffed shirt and unfor'
tunately not murdered Hon Quinn said.
But the gloom of the tragedy that came
so near cutting down Hon. Mickelman in
the prime of manhood by the bloody hand
of murderer at suppertime still seemed
to weigh heavy on everybody through
Council meeting.
LII Tie lliusl VI lie are VIC III uOoIh'
eloquently began Councilman QUINN who
first announced that if not as usual inter
rupted constantly by certain parties, he
would now take UP, as the first business of
Council, speech reviewing the great
events that happened in the dying year
now passing (1921).
Hon. Luther Mickelman, on account OF
being still sore, allowed Hon. Quinn to re-

think of eloquently from $40 until past
without interrupting.
Friends" then began Hon. Quinn after
a drink of water at 9:15, "as I remarked
at the opening of my address a minute
ago"
How time fies!" said Hon. Luther
Mickelman like he was talking to himself.
But as he didn't do anything then but
keep taking his watch out and swapping
it shut loudly every minute or so Hon.
Quinn paid no attention to him.

"Ah'" we said surprised as IL we're. "And
who may this little man be?"
"A-a-aw!" threatened Whitley, making a
sort of sweeping gesture with his fist
doubled This gesture, which he has adopted
as sort OF self-protective measure, is
warning to sophisticated reporters who kid
him, that violence will follow any further
levity on their part.

ing portion of the new coat with the earn
est air OF an art critic deciding that a fake
Rembrandt is genuine.
"A-a-awi" said Whitley, again swinging
the mailed fist.
"One flight up9" we asked him sweetly.
Little did this barefaced boy with lots Of
cheek realize as he stood there "aw-ing" his
elder that he was at the beginning Of one
of the seven ages Shakespeare gives man.
You recall them-the first tooth, the first
cornsill1 fag, the first long pant. the first bay
rum cocktail, the first divorce, the second
divorce and the first attack of senile de-
menta.
We looked back upon our first long pant
At least we looked down at them; we hardly
dare to look back at them these days because
they are no longer young. no more than we
are. but they are the same, dear old long
pant, Lord love en-, that we so proudly
donned that bright September day in 1911.
Nh, that was the day we wore them; at least
il was the first day we tore them. Some
time there will be n poem dashed Off along
that line-worem: torem
Little did the angel faced dumbbell realize
that the long pant had already played an i'm
portant role in his existence and he with
them on only day. But Buck Jones' the
thanwhomer Of copy boys knew the story
and had told 1t TO us. as we'll as he could, in
Jew OF the fact that the larger OF his two
big front teeth was unfortunately removed
by the shoe of tho opposing tackle while
Buck was making a touchdown in a recent
football game
Poor child, whistng his sorrow at
us through the empty space where his tooth
should have been. His tongue kept getting
caught in the crevlce. Shall we ever forget
that sooner Probably not.

Like the year now passing friends"
cried Hon. Quinn, now raising his voice
sharply, 1--WE are here to-day and gone to-
morrow! To-day friends, l thrill with
life! Tomorrow, friends, tomorrow lie
cold, still, silent"
"Three rousing cheers for tomorrow"
hollered Hon. Luther Mickelman, jumping
up and waving his hands excitedly.
Well, it looked like panic.
BY ye scribe's watch laying on the press
table it was 9:1S when Hon. Mickelman
shouted three rousing cheers. Hon. Quinn
ceased personalities and resumed his grand
speech on 1921 just when the 9:34 Accom-.
modation from the metropolis could be
heard pulling in at the station across Pub
lie Square.
But then even Hon. Mickelman got at
tentive as Hon. Quinn began to dwell elo
quently by name on the great men and
things that have passed away forever dur
ing 1921. He drew out list which he ex-
planned was list of noble men who had
passed on forever in the twelvemonths
And as Hon. Quinn put on his glasses to

Quinn in shaking tones. MANS memory

will you hear Of these great dead ones Of

Hon. Quinn paused emotionally here to
rub the mist off his gold trimmed specs with
trembling hands and nobby Christmas
silk handkerchief.

brow reactions to fisticuffs that we invited
him.
Well, the night of the recent Leonard
Ward fight found Roger sitting beside us at
Madison Square Garden. We had hardly sat
down when Roger plucked us by the sleeve
and excitedly exclaimed, "See all the nurses!
Man alive! Do they need that money!" We
assured him that the nurses-we saw almost
a score of them, in full nursing regalia--
were not present to care for the wounded
"To-night's bouts" we informed him, ARE
for the benefit of the Bronx Hospital. The
nurses are here to advertise that fact. They
serve as a reminder to the fans that this is

at a classical play?" we asked ourself a
dozen times as we sat there. "Have we the

but not enough.
Hunter College, in case you don't know, is
entirely inhabited by the fair sex and all
the parts in 'Iphigenia" were played by
girls.
All in all. 1t was fine performance. With
the exception of King Thods, whose funny
little scarlet beard made him--or her-look
like red whiskered catfish we saw in the
Aquarium q few weeks ago, the players were
excellent (Perhaps account of the

with a tunc fish would be more appropriate

found ourself in the auditorium at
Hunter College waiting for the performance,

Ky UTTER BYNNER, who delivered

the modernness of 'Iphigenia." We
agree with him. One OF the lines in the
play is 20 LADY, LADY,"
We are one with those who believe in the
