’D you ever stop to think what a
muchly overworked word—and, may*
he f » pl.ice—poor old hell !•?
It’s overworked, perhaps, because
of Us unlimited flexibility, and it'*
ovei worked, perhapn, because of Its
unlimited number of hypocrites aud
other .kinds of unimtiles—emphagf*
on the.'itiiifesMritbnt, word—which are
consigned to its depths by enemies

‘"hell you ain’t.” It’s "hell ybu will*
"he^ piu ^on’t.” * j *f
You've been a ,puriy or a dance
and you’ve had "a hell uva fcomi
time,” or you’ve had ”a hell uva
sorry time.”
Any way you look, old hell—poor
old' hell—is them with Its comfort,
or It’s there with its condemnation
It's “cold as liell” and It’s “hot as
hell,’’ It’s “high as hell” and It’*
“low as hell.” She’s “pretty as hell’
or she’s “ugly as hell." And, If you've
rot money on the ponies your favor
ite is “sloiy as hell” or it’s “fait as
hell.”
