No One Man Job

The American visitor was taken to Trafalgar Square where his eagle eye soon spotted the statue of Lord Nelson.

"Who is that guy on the top?" he wanted to know.

"That," said the guide proudly, "is the man who made England what she is."

"Too bad," said the American sadly, "too bad to blame it all on one man."

PROPOSAL r Take my hand and let us go r Together where the roses grow

' Along a lane of days and years

Where there are kisses, smiles, and tears, And dances, movies, games to PlaY, ' And streams, and dreams, and day by day

We'd live as in a fairY boo\

Except, well, there'd be meals to cook And buttons coming off of shirts, And holey socks to drive you nerts' And pans to clean and rugs to sweeP

But with a little home to keeP, ; We'd both be haPpy anyway, With lots to do and lots to saY, For l-l-love would b-b-beEr-Oh, Heck! Will you marrY me? i"J-;

Breaking It Gently

Murphy had been careless in handling the blasting powder in the quarry, and his friend Duffy had been deputized to break the news gently to the widow.

"Mrs. Murphy," he began; "isn't it today the fellow calls for the weekly payment on Murphy's life insurance?"

"It is that," replied Mrs. Murphy wonderingly.

"\ll/ell, here's a word for ye ear," whispered Dufry. "You can snap your fingers in his face today."

Eloquence

I am aware that many object to the severity of my language. But is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as Truth, as uncompromising as Justice. On this subject I do not wish to think, to speak, or write with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mot*rer to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen-but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest-I will not equivocateI will not excuse-I will not retreat a single inch-and I will be heard. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hastetr the resurrection of the dead.

To The Outermost Planet

Sister of earth, that we at last have found, Roaming the outer dark so cold and far, To whom the sun is but a golden star, What welcome we would send you, if a sound Could cross the mighty night that rings us round' And all those empty distances, and jar

The stillness of the spaces where you are' The greatest traveler, and the least renowned.

No, it would all be waste, you would not care' You are so distant from the sun that we Are warm with sympathies you could not share By the grey bleakness of that stellar sea, Through which, unknown to us, so long you steer Lonely and pale on your three-centuried year.

-Lord Dunsany.
