THIS WONDERFUL
LANGUAGE.
(From Young’s Magazine.)
“The English language is as Subtle as
a woman, ” affirms the beautiful Pau
line Frederick, who is scoring a great
triumph in “Joseph and His Brethren.”
“It often says one thing and means
another. For instance:
“A Young Canadian went to London
last winter and was making a call
upon a very pretty young woman
whom he had met there for the first time.
“D oyou ‘
“ ‘Do you have reindeer in Canada!”
“ ‘No, darling,’ he answered. ‘At this
season it always snows.’ ”
THE PHILOSOPHIC FISHER
MAN.
(From the July Lippencott’s)
“Commend a certain type of fisher
man for a real philosophic point of
view as regards fates,” says a well-
known Congressman. “On one occasion
at home I was passing a mill pond where
in a fat individual had thrown his line
and was patiently awaiting results.
“ ‘Pardon me, my friend,’ I said to
the man, ‘but you won’t catch anything
in that pond.’
‘ ‘ ‘ Why not! ’ ’
“ ‘For the simple reason that there
are no fish in it. ’
• “ ‘ Dear, dear! ’ ’ murmered the fat
persons. ‘Why did you tell me! Now,
you've spoiled my whole afternoon’s
fishing. ’ ’ ’
SHE SAID IT.
(From Life.)
“You are no gentleman,” she wrote,
“if you think I said such a thing as she
said you said I said I had said.”
’’Dear girl,” he answered, “you mus*
not think I think you think you must
be the kind of a girl I think you must
be if you said such a thing as you said
she said I said you said you had said.”
It seems he knew she knew ho knew
she said just what she said she heard
he had heard her friend had heard him
say he had heard her say, but with in
tuitive feminine tact she accepted his
apology.
SUITED HIM.
Parke: I suppose you feel pretty bad
ly over this income tax!
Lane: Not at all. I’ve wanted to
know for years what my income is; with
the government back of me, I may find
out.
DEVELOPMENT.
THE CHRYSALIS.
Tawdry, wide of skirt, afraid;
Slouchy, timid, country maid,
Dancing like a load of hay.
Como to work—all work, no play.
“Well, then, wo are warranted no
doubt in feeling that the future will be
reasonably free from strikes?”
“I think so, Life.”
“Keep us advised, Mrs. Harriman.”
“I will. Good-bye.”
‘ ‘ Good-bye. ’ ’

“My funds are too small to deposit,’
says many a man. This attitude brings
certain poverty. Money carried in the
pocket is not carried long. A trinket
here, a passing amusement there, and
the whole month’s salary is gone.
But having an account with this bank,
you will think twice—and deposit your
spare money. THIS plan insures suc
cess and self respect.
Open an account tomorrow. Size
don’t matter. Small accounts grow.

INCONSISTENCY.
“We pass a law against race-track
gambling, and add to the profits from
faro. We raid the faro joints, and drive
gambling into the home, where poker and
bridge whist are taught to children who
follow their parents’ example. Wo de
prive anarchists of free speech by the
heavy hand of a police magistrate, and
furnish them with a practical instead of a
theoretical argument against government,
We answer strikes with bayonets, and
make treason one of the rights of man.”
—From “A Preface to Politics,” by
Walter Lippman, Mitehel Kennerly,
Publisher.
JUST THE THING.
Mrs. Grabshaw—“According to you,

weather. ’ ’

If Santa Claus is, as they state,
A good old saint who’s up to date,
This year, his record to maintain,
He’ll have to use an aeroplane.
