Coueism Among Firms

The ancient Films, when troubled
by the hiccoughs, sought relief by adj
dressing the hiccoughs as follows ::
"Go hiccough. to a clump Of lines :;
I'll come to strip the bark; go, hic-
cough, to clump of birch; I'll come
to strip the bark" This was repeated
over and over again-or was supposed
to be repeated-until the hiccoughs
became discouraged and took their de-,
parture. Govt, when making an at;
tack, was greeted in this wise-"Good
govt thou lovely govt, depart, turn
back elsewhere."-Gas Logic.

Goldsmith Couldn't Dictate

Dictation is no new thing, though
commoner today than Of old. A friend
of Oliver Goldsmith once suggested
to him that he use the services of an
amanuensis, to avoid the physical Ia

work. He paced up and down the
room while the amanuensis sat and
waited for the words to be set down.
At last Goldsmith turned to him, put
the agreed-On fee into his hands, and
dismissed him with these words. at,

Republic of Mind

In the republic of mind, one is a
majority. There, all are monarchs,
and all are equals. The tyranny Of,
a majority even is unknown. Each
one is crowned, sceptered and
throned. Upon every brow is the IT,.
ara. and around every brow is the i'm
perial purple. Only those are good!
citizens who express their honest!
thoughts, and those who prosecute for.
opinions sake are the only traitors,
There, nothing is considered infamous
except an appeal to brute force, and
nothing sacred but love, liberty and
joy.-Robert Ingersoll.
