That little noodle which is hooked to the cephalic terminus of his spinal boneyard contains more tabulated, correlated, annotated historical stuff than was ever sardined in the think tank of the Hon. John Clark Pidrath. Take it from me Spirit of Napoleon, he knows just how you got balled up at Wat- erloo. He is sure wise to your blunders. Hels got Thomas E. Xvatson outclassed and pushed clear olf the board when it comes to puttin' out the dope about how VVellington hipped you. And get me on this, Boney, had this young spirit of Mars been there in place of his noble Unk Kaightsky that St. Helena frost would never harmed your alfalfa. Believe me, Bo, he's had his hooks and lamps on everything in Clio's almanac. Honest, Pal, there's no ruff stuff about this l'm handin' you. Joseph Smith didn't know half as much about wives as VVilliam Ernest knows about the capers of man. Oh yes. Caroline, you know they reel it off to us about Euclid being the papa of geometry. YVell, if this Smith with the VVilliam Ernest handle had lived back in Mr. Euclid's time, Mr. Euclid would have one less honor. Pythagoras made an awful fuss about that square on the hypotenusen business you know. This little knowledge bump knows thirteen ways to prove the same thing but he is just as calm as if he expects always to be a bachelor. 1 1 v E w U y g g U g g gg m ' 'Il' 'll' ill' IIIUIIF 'llllll' 'll' Ill' 'II' 'IIUIW

Mark you Antony! she can talk for days on how Caesar fought the German bipeds. Cicero is as familiar to her as a shamrock is to an Irishman. Primis Annus in ? the Latin lingoism is as approachable by a Freshy as Montessorism T L is to a tot when she is the pedagogue. Sojourn in her class for a - T few days and you will hear things your knowledge to fatten. 'NVebster appears in the veil of a woman when she surmounts Bunker Hill and begins on Venerable Man. If old Pat Henry ? could see her stamp her foot, raise her hand, and cry, Give me T , Latin or give me English he would Never again be able to - ' hear the clanking of steel on the Boston plain. To follow her in spirit is to be a barefoot boy ' helping his father revivea Deserted Village by planting apple trees in Merrie England. ls this - Great Scott! This woman can Shellfyl a few lines to beat the - - Dickens and send them to Milftonj before they are Dryfdenj.
