If ft is true a vitamine has Been found in hush, we believe it was in bad company. Something that never struck as being especially good-natured is “goodnatured contempt.” A hermit in California gives seven reasons why he became a hermit, and doesn't name guest towels. All we know about an 80-story sky- | Bcraper in New York is that the elevator had better be reliable. Conversation stimulates thought, but unfortunately we get very little of that Rort of stimulation in these days. A local skeptic claims to have list- | ened to 357 so-called soapbox orators I and never saw one on a soapbox. A Kansas City writer doubts wheth- i er any horse was ever named Dobbin. - We remember one very clearly, in a song. “If I were down and out,” remarked j the office skeptic not long since, “I’d j hate to come back as slowly as long skirts.” Every time an airplane crashes the question arises as to whether some one has been “air-minded” or only ‘•harebrained.” A good airplane pilot Is willing to keep a crash secret. What the true aviator looks for is applause and not sympathy. Just as people are learning to make ever so many other things from corn stalks, along comes the corn borer and makes trouble.

Just before lunch time a man’s eye is npt to fall hungrily upon culinary items in the newspapers. But even so, ise would like to know what are “spindied oysters.” A man in Australia returned to England in response to a one-word cablegram from his wife, which Is thought to constitute the husband-calling record for the month. If some of the ancient Babylonians shotild come back and observe the night life in modern cities they would want to get back to the old home town for a little peace and quiet. Now that a person can get almost anywhere in a little while, somebody ought to invent something to do after arriving that will be more interesting than turning around to go back again. “A. E.
