The Highbrow Cult

new cult has, however, sprung up
during the nineteenth century which
far exceeds the prophets and poets Of
the past in the unbelievable kind Of
stories they tell Of things no one
has ever seen while awake and sober.
This curious sect is generally known
as the "highbrow bunch"
The hiGhbrow IS difficult of approach,
but every one knows you can get moth
ing definite out of poet; they are
almost as vague as statesmen. On the
other hand, our friends Of the elevated
domes would satisfy even the income
tax collector. They certainly can tell
the weirdest fairy tales you ever heard,
all accompanied by a transforming
mass of figures which leaves you gasp
ing with admiration. Baron Mum
chausen could tell stories, and the
Senator from Sorghum Center can ex-
plain why he didn't extract more
nourishment from the pork barrel for
his home town, but neither of these
members of the Ananas Club has any
thing on "thc highbrows."
