Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 62, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 March 1913 — Epigram. [ARTICLE]

Epigram.

"That wasn’t a bad epigram on the magistrate’s part,” said the somewhat educated tramp, who had been convicted for vagrancy. “What did he say?” asked the tramp’s pal. “Seven days,” came the reply. “‘That ain’t no epigram, is it?” “I’m sure it is. I asked a parson once what an epigram was, and he says: ‘lt’s a short sentence that sounds light, but gives you plenty to think about.’ ” —London Opinion.
