Monkey Shines

Once upon a time the monkeys got control of the political.situation in the jungle, and they passed a law that all animals must sleep suspended by their tails from the trees. That was fine for the monkeys-but think of the elephants.

Spring

Spring rides no horses down the hill, But comes on foot; a goose-girl still; And all the loveliest things there be, Come simply-so it seems to me.

-Edna St. Vincent Millay.

Bcrrnum On Passes

When P. T. Barnurn was the world's greatest show man, he was so beseiged all the time with requests for free passes that he finally posted the following excerpts from the Bible over his office door:

"Thou shalt not pass." Numbers 20, 18.

"Suffer not a man to pass." Judges 30,28.

"None shall pass." Mark 13, 30.

"Neither any son of man shall pass." Jeremiah 43.

"Though they roar, yet they cannot pass." Jeremiah 32.

"So he paid the fare thereof, and went." Jonah 3.

The Old Rcsccl's Prcyer

I have led a good life, full of peace and quiet; I shall have an old age, full of rum and riot.

I have been a good boy, \rred to peace and study; I shall have an old age, ribald, coarse, and bloody. I have been a nice boy, done what was expected; I shall be an old bum, loved but unrespected.

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her sleep, Runnning around to dances; Leave her alone and she'll come home, The victim of circumstances.

In Spring?

Men are the devil-they all bring woe. In winter it's easy to say no.

Men are the devil-that's one sure thing; But what are you going to do in spring?

Let Genius Run

When a man of genius is in full swing, never contradict him, set him straight, or try to reason with him. Give him a free field. A listener is sure to get a greater quantity of good, no matter how mixed, than if the man is thwarted Let Pegasus bolt! He will bring you to a place you know nothing about.-Linnaeus.

Wcr Is Hell

General Sherman's 1gs1a1ft-"\[/ar is Hell"-is one of the most quoted in American history. Its derivation is interesting, too. In 1881 Sherman made a speech at a G. A. R. reunion in Columbus, Ohio, in which he used these words: "There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but boys, War is Hell! You can bear this warning voice to generations yet to come ! I look upon war with horror." Were ever truer words spoken?

Did You Know?

That all the ships in the world could be put into San Francisco Bay? That Texas is as large as two hundred and six Rhode Islands? That the length of the Island of Cuba represents the distance from New York to Chicago? That in 24 hours the balance wheel of a watch travels the equivalent of one mile? That the jumping rabbit of Africa can leap as far as twenty feet? That nearly every well known American city has a lot of smaller places named after them? That there are L2 Bostons, 11 Hollywoods, 22 Clevelands, 14 Brooklyns, 12 Atlantas, 22 Buffalos, 18 Albanys, 19 Colurnbuses, and 25 Springfields? That a Flying Fortress at cruising speed consumes 250 gallons of gasoline an hour, and at full throttle the rate is almost double? That the barking of a dog on the grounil can be heard at an altitude of more than a mile? That it is estimated that, measured in travel time, the world is now smaller than were the thirteen original United States?

Our Neighbor's God

We know our neighbor's God is a good God because goodness, generosity, thoughtfulness, and helpfulness are the effortless expressions of this neighbor in his momentto-moment living. Every man is his God's living advertisement.
