when Alice had come within few
yards of it she saw that 1t had ewes,
nose, a mouth and a small, black
moustache, like a toothbrush; and
when she had come close to II she
saw that it was Schickelgruber
himself.
And how exactly like a Schickel-
gruber he Isl" she said aloud,
standing with her hands ready TO
catch him, for she was every mo-
ment expecting him to fall.
ITS very provoking" he said. "to
tience is almost exhausted again"
II said you looked like a Schickel-
gruber, sir" Alice gently explained.
And some Schickelgrubers are
quite sane. And don't you think
you'd be safer on the ground?"
"Of course I don't think sol

ITO free the earth of the Com
munist menace" Alice interrupted.
Now I declare that's too bad"
Schickelgruber screamed, breaking
into sudden passion. you've been
listening at doors, or you couldn't
have known it"
"I haven't indeed~ Alice said very
gently. It's in book called 'Mein
Dampf"
There's glory for you!"
II don't know what you mean by
glory" Alice said.
"Of course you don't-till I tell
you. I meant The apotheosis Of the
German race"
But glory doesn't mean the
whatever you said"
when I use a word" Schickel-
gruber said in rather a scornful tone,
1T means Just what I choose 1t TO
mean-neither more nor less. For
instance, when I say eternal friend
ship it means a knife in the back:
when I say shameless defense it
means 'heroism': when I say nom
aggression pact it sometimes means
let's gang on a third party and
sometimes, look out, little fellow,
I'm going to gobble you up and
count your change Gf any before
leaving"
The question is" said Alice.
whether YOU can make words mean
so many different things"
The question is said Schickel-
gruber, which is to be master
that's all-impenetrabili that's
what say. That means that we've
had enough of that subject: that
the R A F. never could get through
to Berlin, and that if they did they
would never hit anything except
museums, hospitals and non-Aryan
infants!"
What does non-Aryan mean7"
"It means any one whom I don't
happen to like at the moment
Aryan Is any one Of whom I approve
the Japs. for instance"
Schickelgruber began to sway
back and forth violently on his bay
onet perch, and thinking to calm
him, Alice put her hands behind her
back and began TO recite the Lore
lei"
ZACH, the genius of Germanyl
How sweet, how Aryan!'
But surely Heine WaS-?"
"Heine! Who was Heine?-that
lovely poem is which
means. ASK no questions and you'll
hear no lies I, too, have written
lovely poem; I will repeat 1t to
you"
"I sent a message to the Brish:
'I told them This is what I wish

Resulting in a frightful-"
Alice never knew how the poem
ended, for at that moment heavy
crash shook the forest from end
to end.

Well, let us give thanks that we

Thanksgiving, one and indivisible.
In 1912 it's November 26, in the

tickets now. Or thinking up thanks.
