Humor and Philosophy

By DUNCAN M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS. gOME people are silent because they have nothing to say, but not all w’ho have nothing to say are silent. When a women’s friends say she has temperament they mean she la touchy. Don't get sore on your chum because he didn’t tell your wife the same story you told her. You should have compared notes. Some women are happiest when they have something to cry about. A successful woman, according to some authorities. Is one who has married her daughter well. A small boy’s list of nuisances in sure to include babies, kindling wood, baths and Sunday school. The average man never admires a mode in woman’s dress until it is passe. It may be very difficult to spend a million dollars in a year, but more of us would like to demonstrate just how difficult it is. It takes a man two hours and fiftyseven minutes to decide to go to church, but he can decide to attend a sparring match while the cars are rounding the corner.

Just as Good. A rose by any other nahte. The experts all declare, Would have an odor Just the same. Alluring and as rare. A And it is, as you may observe, The same concerning cash— By any other name ’twill serve To buy >. meal of hash. Bones, ducats, the mazuma, scads. The ready wherewithal. The iron dollar of our dads. Are some you may recall. The root of evil or the chink, A cart wheel or a meg— Have any one and food and drink You will not have to beg. The needful or the stovepipe roll, The tin. the dough, the rocks. The rhino—each will purchase coal Or lemon drops or sox. The long green Is a catchy one. The stuff, the cush, loose change, And still the list is Just begun. We’ve hardly tapped the range. That money talks is what they say Wherever we may turn. Why should it not, I ask you, pray. Since it has names to burn? But, say, what difference does it make Since it will see you through Whatever road you chance to take. SO any name will do.
