He's crafty and astute.

The wombat used to whine,

Of progeny of mine.
My soul it much cmbitters
To think they have no chance
But Bryan says US critters
Can't advance.
And so these timid creatures,
Emotionless and mute,
Retained their ancient features
And didn't evolute.

Who Wrote the Greatest Line3

In the way Of competitive tests why
should 92 per cent Of all publicity be
turned over exclusively to those who
froic on tbe aciGs OF sport?
We offer no suggestion that a poet
CT writer of verse be given equal
acclaim with one who hits for three
bases, circles an end for twenty yards,
runs the 100 in 80, or lays mashic
shot dead to the pin. Or with our cap
tains Of industry, or our statesmen or
politicians who keep an iron grasp
upon front-page space.
But the former might, at least, lay
claim TO secluded nook amid the
fashionable chit-chat of the day as
outlined in the public prints.
For long time now we have been
confronted often with such queries as
one OF these: "Who is the greatest
ball player that ever lived? The great
est boxer? The greatest all around
football player?" In return we sub
NIT this: Who wrote the greatest
single line of verse ever penned, and
what is the line?
We submit few samples, worthy or
unworthy, which may also help to pro
vide an uncensored amusement for
those who might be interested in look
ing up the matter of authorship. You
might also see what your percentage
is from the list appended before you
are forced to issue search warrant
among various books of reference.
Here arc a few examples to null over:
"He made solitude, and called it
peace
"And when She had passed. it seemed
like the ceasing Of exquisite music"
