The inside and outside , the what and the why, The when and the where, the low and the high, All 1, , , itself I.”— Mary Baker Eddy Of Dutch descent; though related, we believe, to the Irishman who, when asked what his politics were, said, “Bedad, I don’t know what me politics ar-re, at all, at all; but I’m agin’ th’ Governmint.” A social iconoclast, though not always sure what the trouble is, his desire to be a knocker has developed a 14 h.p. -automatic-double- action kick for use on all and sundry occasions, which, with his keen discriminating mind and pungent expression, may some day land him in Congress — or in trouble.

His diminutive stature gained for him the title of “Boy Manager” at Colgate; although the only things he has managed at T. S. have been the Confectionery Store, his own business, and Bandlow.
