THE ATLANTIAN
May, 1921
Have You
The Ability to Succeed
The employer of men desires to know those
among his employes who have within them-
i selves the capacity for success.
No matter how brilliant, how well trained or
how honest a man may be, the vital factor
for victory in business is lacking if he can
not save.

Feet of Clay.
By Wex Jones.
The modes of the moment have sown
the seed
Of horrid suspicion within my
heart:
Did the ladies of old deserve the
meed
Of the poet’s praise and the
painter’s art?
Helen, whose face launched a thou
sand ships,
The fairest face that the old world
saw—
Was there aught, I wonder, her fame
to eclipse;
Had she, I wonder, the hidden flaw?
And Cleopatra, whom Antony
Never wearied to gaze upon—
Was there something that moved her
maids to glee,
Gossiping, with their mistress gone?
Phryne we know, and Mother Eve,
And Aphrodite, born of the main;
But not as in these can I now believe
In the Pompadour, and her skirted
train.
Ah, faith must flee at the dawn of
doubt,
No matter how antique beauty
begs:
For the modes of the moment fairly
shout,
“It’s even money on bandy legsl”
Maud and the Judge.
Mapd Muller on a busy day
Bossed the farm hands making hay.
The judge passed by and gave a
glance.
It brought no feeling of romance.
And yet he spoke in accents bland,
And even tried to hold her hand.
But what he said, ‘twixt you and me,
Was, “Maud, I hope you’ll vote for
me.”

Unchallenged—“Mrs. Mary J. Mc-

the 17th day of January, 1927, voted

Many a woman is blamed for mak
ing a fool of a man when he is really
self-made
The Promised Man—Two negroes
were workihg in a acoal-bin in a Mis
sissippi town, one down in the bin
throwing out the coal and the other
outside wielding the shovel. The one
inside picked up a large lump and
heaving it carelessly into the air,
struck the other a resounding blow
on the head.
As soon as the victim had recovered
from his momentary daze he walked
over to the edge of the bin and, peer
ing down at his mate, said:
“Nigger, how come you don’t watch
where you throws dat coal? You done
hit me smiack on the haid.”
The other looked surprised.
“Did I hit you, nigger?”
“You sho’ did,” came the answer.
"And I jes wants to tell you, I’se been
promising the debit a man. a long time,
and you certainly does resemble my
promise.”—New York Evening Post.
The Davy Crockett Tradition.
From the Cynthiana (Ky.) Demo
crat:
Assistaant Postmaster W. M. Maf-
fett telephoned the office that his dog
was lost and to run an ad. When he
got home, he found the dog already
returned and tied up. The dog proba
bly heard the ad would run in the
Democrat and knew he might as well
surrender.
“What are the classics, anyway?”
“Oh, they’re the ones you buy for a
dollar down and a dollar a month.”
Commercially Speaking.
(A Villanelle) '
T love to write.these Gallic Rhymes
For one may pen, without deceit,
And sell the same line many times...
A Villanelle, for instance, chimes
With lilt of laughter gay and fleet;
I love to write these Gallic Rhymes.
It pays in dollars and in dimes,
For one can make his verse com
plete
And sell the same line many times.
(Commercialism off begrimes
The muse, but aren’t these triplets
neat?)
I love to write these Gallic rhymes.
Yes, when one on Parnassus climbs
It’s quite convenient to repeat
And sell the same line many times.
Ah, how the true afflatus primes
Miy Pegasus to trot a heat,
I love to write these, Gallic rhymes
And sell the same line many times.
Berton Braley.
Brought Down The House
In Jersey a singer named Jane
Had a voice they could hear down in
Maine.
Her cat threw a fit,
And the furniture split,
And the chandelier twisted with pain.
