More Truth Than Poetry
TT CAN'T BE DONE
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

I'd like to meet a hippcgriff
And knock the cory monster stiff,
I'd like to shoot
The ugly brute
When he essayed to bite me,
And cry the while, in accents rough:
you're nothing but a rearing bluff.
Go on and growl
And snarl and howl
Such noise can't alright me.'
I'd like to beard him in his lair
Where he has borne maiden fair,
A dainty treat
He meant to eat
That evening for his dinner.
And earn her smiling gratitude,
When, only slightly torn and chewed,
The beast I .cowed.
And stood a proud
And very gallant winner
I'd seek this great adventure, if
There lived a single hlppogriff,
Put folks, I find
Seem quite inclined
TO disbelieve or doubt it.
And having no such horrid prey
To hunt with gun and sword and
slay
My deadly hate
I'm forced to state
By writing rhymes about IT.

The custom of having Shakespeare

reciprocating in kind, has been re-

Since 1854 Germans have sent wreath
of leaves picked fro mtrees in the

fort to Stratford -on Avon on the oc-
casion of Shakespeares birthday ami
versary, April 81. British have re-
turned the compliment on August 2S

tinued next April by the trustees of

.VOy HINDENBURG
STILL HEARTY ON
18TH BIRTHDAY

BERLIN, oct. 9.-(AP)-President
Won Hindenburg today is celebrating
his 18th birthday. The field marshal
has record of not having missed
single day from attending to the duties
of his office, which is better than any
of his cabinet ministers can claim.
During his summer vacation last year
and the present year the president
daily attended to his correspondence
and received reports from govern
mental departments. Despite his age
he scorns the idea of a physician being
in attendace unpon him. He believes
regular living is. the best recipe for
health.
Well wishers, as well as critics, who
feared the executive duties, especially
these of a social nature, would prove
too onerous for the aged field marshal
now admit they were mistaken.

If Nanything, the last seasons dis

Legislative sentiment in opposition to

The pending agreement having been

Senate insurgency" however, will be
quite as generally against it and there

This will mean the bargains rejec-

Election will have no bearing on the
question, for the same old 69th congress

will have ratified or rejected the tenta-

Chinese Drainage Away

writer, Chinese Catholic priest and a
general out of job. Speeches were

Katy Is Of an inimitable Irishy, and
she loved the Twains and went about
the world with them, her shrewd eyes
looking out upon people and kings
and queens-upon the whole motley
crew of folk along the ways followed
by the Twain tribe. And her stories
grew with the rising Of every morn
ings sun, all events Of every degree
of importance centering around her
beloved family. And how it all came
tumbling out-her funny stories and
quaint sayings; her searching observa-
tions Of life: her lightning.like per-
ceptions of people! What riot Of
words. And words unforgettably her
own-funny. humble. gay. illiterate,
as she herself says: eloquent and

and patience of the woman who took

FROM studies of Egyptian archie

increasing frequency to the making
of romances based upon Egypt as the
meeting place between the East and

region, he has more than once given
off vivid pictures of it by way of the
novel. The story in hand is that Of
