16 THE CRIMSON AND GRAY That ' s my good that does me good The world is a ladder for some to go up and some down. The longest life is but a parcel of mo- ments. Professor — To prove the ears of grass- hoppers are in their legs a very simple ex- periment will suffice. Place one on the ta- ble and knock on the table. He will jump off. Now cut off his legs and repeat the experiment. You will find that he will not jump. The Moving Finger writes: and, having writ, Moves on ; nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall live it back to cancel half a Line Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. You may not hab any moh respeck foh de man wif good clo ' s on dan foh one dat am poly dressed, but yoh am alius readier ter listen ter what he hez ter say. Seven pupils in the class Of Professor Callias Iiisten silent, while he drawls ; — Throe are benches, four are walls. The Great walks with the Small without fear. The Middling keeps aloof. FOR SALE One Ford car with piston rings, Top, rear wheels and one front spring, Has no fenders, seat, or plank. Burns lota gas, hard to crank, buretor busted, half way through, Engine missing, hits one or two. It ' s three years old, five in the spring, Mas shock absorbers and every thing. Radiator busted, sure does leak, Differential dry, you can hear it squeak. Ten spokes missing, front all bent, Tire all blown out, ain ' t worth a cent. Got lots of speed, will run like the deuce, Burns either gas or tobacco juice Tires .ill off, been run on the rim. A darn good Ford for the shape it ' s in. — Ray Allard KEEP FISHIN ' Hi Somers was the durnest cuss Fer catching fish — he sure was great! He never used to make a fuss About the kind of pole, or bait, Er weather, neither; he ' d just say, I got to catch a mess today, An ' toward the creek you ' d see him slide, A-whistlin ' soft and walkin ' wide I says one day to Hi, says I, How do you always ketch ' em, Hi? He gave his bait another switch in, An ' chucklin ' , says, I just keep fishin ' . Hi took to readin ' law at night An ' pretty soon, the first he knowed, He had a lawsuit, won his fight, An ' was a lawyer, I ' ll be blowed! He knowed more law than Squire McKnab ! An ' though he had no gift of gab To brag about, somehow he made A sober sort of talk that played The mischief with the other side, One day, when some one asked if Hi ' d Explain how he got in condishion, He laughed and said, I just kept fishin ' . Well, Hi is Gov ' nor Somers now; A big man round the state, you bet — To me the same old Hi, somehow ; It wasn ' t so much the fishin pole, It wasn ' t so much the fishin hole, That won for Hi his big success ; ' Twas just his fishin ' on, I guess; A cheerful stiddy, hopeful kind Of keepin ' at it — don ' t you mind ? And that is why I can ' t help wishin ' That more of us would just keep fishin ' . Exchangj
