About three miles to the front. I saw a man moving around. I shaded my eyes from the burning sun. Private McDunzy touched me on the shoulder and offered a pair of field glasses. I took them and adjusted the focus. The powerful binoculars brought the image of the man up to within thirty feet, He was equipped for playing golf and had a golf sack engraved with the name Chester Sutton swung over his shoulder, The man was about a hundred feet from the golf cup, He looked around ner- vously to see if any people were in sight: and since none revealed themselves to his vision, he sighed in relief and drew from the golf bag a broom, which he used hurriedly. with the air of a professional, to sweep the ball get-Q55 the intervening distance into the cup. This is the story of three wise scientists: Georgie. Chester, and josey. Q Georgie grew up in the foot hills of the Cherokee state, but the governor defies anyone to prove it. Any- way. Georgie grew up-we can regret that much-and became a great Chemist tThe world regrets thatl. He would have been greater. but his knife couldn't distinguish sodium from cream cheese. Chester was supposed to be a chemist, too, He became a renowned scientist early in life, but had hard luck: he got married. and his wife made him go to work. Despite this handicap, however, Chester rocked in Fame until he tried some of Georgie's synthetic sausage for supper-now Chester rocks in Glory. Nobody is acquainted with the place or way that Iosey arrived in this world. except a very reputable person who claims that the famed scientist fell. full grown. from a box car that was passing across Broad along Sixth St, The same reputable person exhibits, as proof. a dent in the sidewalk on the North corner of Broad at Sixth, where. deponent says further, Josey's head struck when the box car deposited its unwanted philosopher, ,losey became a master of Physics. but he died of remorse before his work was done, He failed a student for not turning in a complete set of laboratory papers, and ,Iosey's tender heart gave way under the grinding of his conscience, Now all three of the wise scientists reside in the land of platinum crucibles and forceps: Georgie makes a tooth paste that would take the paint oft a battle ship: Chester blows a left wing off of Paradise everv week or two: and Joey beats tuning forks and sends radio until the angels request him to either stop or take H traugfef- And they all are happy in the home where good scientists go. Niay eacepay aymay heytay esideray. tPig Latin for In peace may they reside. I placed my knife and fork down, lit a cigarette. and glanced over the faces at the table. I seemed to reniem- ber seeing some of them before. A Mr. Eubanks on my right was telling his war experiences to a friend. The friend appeared bored. but listened on without interrupting, At the far end of the table sat one Mr. Hardy, who had 3 face capable of turning a rosy red every time someone cracked a joke, I sat back uneasily and listened. Some Mr, Cordle whispered to a Mr. Etheredge. Etheredge. in turn, retorted with a loud voice that everyone could hear: But, Cordle, every tub sits on its own bottom. My mind suddenly flashed with unpleasant memories as the last utterance fell upon my ears and wedged itself into other incidents of the evening: so in order to relieve myself of these uncherished thoughts, I got up and walked with haste from the room. PQQICATED TO OUR ENGLISH TEAVHERS PRAYER TO ANY 'rEAcH151cf Well begin with a box, and the plural is boxes: But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes, Then one fowl is goose and two are called geese. Yet the plural of moose should never be meese, You may find a lone mouse or a whole lot of mice: But the plural of house is houses. not hice, If the plural of man is always called men, W'hy shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? The cow in the plural may be cows or kine: But the plural of vow is vows, not vine. If I speak of a foot and you show me your feet. And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set is teeth, XYhy shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? If the singular is this and the plural is these. Should the plural of kiss be nick-named keese? Then one may be that, and three would be those: Yet hat in the plural would never be hose: And the plural of rat is rats, not rose. XYe speak of a brother and also of brethren: But though we say mother, we never say methren. The masculine pronouns are he, his, and him: lfiut imagine the feminine she, shis. and shim. So the English, I think you will all agree, ls the most wonderful language you ever did see. Oft' in the even'tide when my work is done, And all your principles have proved but fine. My book I lay upon the mantle small And journey thence by foot into the hall. My weary legs from there carry me to bed And as upon the pillow soft I lay my head. l say a silent prayer for thy bread and keep And for the students yet to fail and weep. Ah! But wast so kind to see and feel And pray and hope and kneel For mine sake. That in mine hour of deliverance I would not show indifferance And lose the cake. -By Ir:m:Mu-u-I ALEXANDER McDoNm.n .
