I've read the April magazines O, yes, I'm rather slow, I know I should have finished them at least two weeks aeo. But it was hard to read tbeni fast they shocked and pained mo so. For "Anybody's" tells me that our senators are all Engaged in treasonable acts that each one is the thrall, Body and soul, of organized Graft, grasping Greed and Gall. From "Jolliers" I learn that all our rich, success ful men Are cut-throat pirates, who would all be sen tenced to the pen Except that venal higher courts would get them out again ! "Mc Poor's" informs me that the food we live on is unfit For human stomachs that the folks who manu facture it Have put some different deadly drug in every single bit. And would we cure ourselves, the medicine is fearful stuff Rank poison that completes what food did not do well enough; So, well or ill, we're murdered just the same It's surely tough! The government is rotten getting fiercer all the time Our public institutions all are colleges of crime; Our schools are bad, our churches weak, our drama simply slime! I wanted some amusement my tired brain felt the need Of stories, sketches,- verses something frivo lous, indeed So I bought the April magazines. I wish 1 couldn't read! Cleveland Leader. v r p A Spring-time IHttj. The Crocus now begins to croak, The wind flower soon will blowp The hurry of the hurricane Will drive away the snow. The violet now vainly vies With Ethel's eyes of blue; Her lips are Love's apocalypse I'll take a chance or two. Ah, sweet it is to bill and coo When she to coo is willing; An Easter hat will soon be due,' And I must do the billing. So let your catechisms mew, Your ancient dogmas bark ; Thcspring i9 here with all things new; Away with care and cark! Jasper Burnett Cowdin, in Ar. Y. Sun. PROVERBS ARE VERY OLD ANY proverbs have come down to us from remote ages and are common to all nations. It is said that a king of Samos worked his slaves nearly to death in making a vineyard ; this provoked one of them to prophesy that his master would never drink the wine. The king, being told of this, when the first grapes were produced took a handful, and, pressing the juice into a cup in the presence of'the slave, derided him as a false prophet. "Many things happen between the cup and the lip," language. We say "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." The same idea is ex pressed by Italians when they say "Bet ter an egg today than a pullet tomorrow," and the French proverb is still more sig nificant, "One here-it-is is better than two you-shall-have-its." "Better a lev eret in the kitchen than a wild boar in the forest" is the Livonian saying conveying the same meaning. The proverbs on luck are numerous and expressive in all languages. In English we say, "It is better . to be born lucky than rich." The Arabs convey the same i -1 'i ' .4 .V -'I I DR. L. LEE IIARBAN, WINNER 1905 CHAMPIONS!!!?. the slave replied. Just then a shout was raised that a wild boar had broken into the vineyard. The king, without tasting, set down the cup, ran to meet it, and was killed in the en counter. Henceforth the words of the slave passed into a proverb. From this Greek original came two French proverbs. "Between the hand and the mouth the soup is often spilt" and "Wine poured out is not swallowed." Neither is so near the original as our English "There's many a slip "twixt cup and lip." It is curious to trace how similar ideas have taken root in different languages and the various modes of illustrating the same thought. To take, for instance, one or two familiar proverbs in our own idea in the apt proverb, "Throw him into the Nile and he will come up With a fish in his mouth," while the Germans say, "If he flung a penny on the roof a dollar would come back to him." A Spanish proverb says, "God send you luck, my son, and little wit will serve you." There is a Latin adage, "Fortune favors fools," and it is to this Touchstone alludes in his reply to Jacques, "Call me not fool till heaven hath sent me fortune." The Germans say, "Jack gets on by his stupidity" and "Fortune and women are fond of fools;" there is also a Latin proverb which shows that the converse of this holds good. "Fortune makes a, fool of him whom she too much favors." Some unlucky Englishman is responsi- Smith & Wesson Single Shot Target Pistol With automatic shell Extractor.
