Marshall's Metaphorical Cigar.

Thomas Riley Marshall Of Indiana,
who used 10 be our humorous Vice
President. is getting well paid for
using q nickel cigar As a metaphor
and not letting on that 1t was a
metaphor.
One day somebody asked him what
allied the country and he said what this
country needed was 4 good scent
cigar.
Everybody supposed he meant what
he said, and all the men who used to
get a good cigar for 4 nickel and
who now pay a dime for smokes Of
two-for quality rose up and said
ed, a good nickel cigar.
Cigar manufacturers. too. thought
that he meant 1t. Each and every
one took issue with him, however.
The country did not need a good s.
cent cigar. 1t had a good scent
cigar. And each and every one Of
proof.
There he was with about a million
nickel cigars on his hands. He couldn't
smoke them himself, and. as he was
not running for Office. he couldn't
give them away.
Now comes the ex-vice President
and says II Is all q mistake and he
is a very much misunderstood man.
That nickel cigar that he was talk
ing about was a metaphor. What he
meant was that the country needed
to get back to the nickel-cigar plano
of living. And he hoped the cigar
manufacturers would stop sending
him nickel cigars.
All right. Now we understand each
other. But why didn't he say it was
mctaphorical cigar that he was
talking about? He should have said:
What this country needs is meta
phoricsl nickel cigar" Then every
body would have known what Kind
