Tryphlodorus, when writing Ids Odyssey, hail not an "a” in his first book, nor a “b” in his second. In so doing he was but copying the Llpogrammutic Iliad of Nestor. Athenneus writes of an ode by Pindar in which the latter purposely omitted the letter “s,” thereby leading us to surmise that this little hoax was one of the literary fashions of the day. A Persian poet once read to the celebrated Jami one of his own compositions with the letter Alit consistently omitted throughout. Jami, who did not care for the sonnet, sarcastically, made the following recommendation:! "You can do a bettor thing yet, take away all the letters from every word you have written.” Although the Greeks originated this; Ingenious literary device, its use was by no means exclusive with them. Lope de Vega, the celebrated Spanish dramatic poet of the Sixteenth century, Gregorio Lett, and at a much later day Lord North of the court of James I all employed this literary device and produced Lipogrammatic books. —-Market for Exchange. Wrong Number Feminine logic was deyionstrated ',n a phone call received by a startled gentleman who picked up the Instrument the other evening to hear a frenzied female voice demanding: "Is this you, Jim." “No," he returned politely. “You have the wrong number.” “Well, you big sap,” came the voice nt the other end, in snappy accents, “why the dickens don’t you hang up so I can get my party? Os all the nitwits I ever saw—why, you poor prune —” and so on, while the amused young man listened patiently to her colorful tirade. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Two White House “Fronts’ 3 There are two fronts to the Executive mansion. In the days when the White House was constructed, colonial homes, especially in the South, were built with two “fronts" wherever it was possible to locate them near a river. The phrases, the river front and the land front, are found in many descriptions of colonial homes. In the early days of Washington, the Potomac flowed much closer to the White House than It does today. The building, therefore, was regarded as having a river front as well as a land front. Cloture and Closure Closure Is a method of closing debate upon a subject In a legislative body and obtaining vote immediately or at a speeilled time. It was first introduced in the British house of commons in 1882 and it was then called “cloture,” which is a French word. Later "closure” became the more com mon name for this method of ending debate, especially in the United States, but now there seems to be a tendency to go back to the French word “cloture." They have the same meaning —Pathfinder Magazine. Journalist Defined A good Journalist Is one wh'o can expand the material for a paragraph into a whole article, but never does so 11 he can avoid it; who Is widely informed, but respects the limits of li - Information; who Is violent in expressing his opinions, but reasonable in forming them; and who seeks to win the agreement of his readers, but would rather Inspire their indignation than their Indifference. —London Nation and Atheneum. Getting Things Straight The sentence: "All men are born free and equal” is a quotation from the constitution of Massachusetts which was framed in 1779. The complete sentence says: “All men are born free and equal, and have certain natural, essential, and unalienable rights Many people erroneously suppose the phrase “born free and equal" occurs in the Declaration of Independence That document says “all men are created equal.”—Exchange.
