All religion, all art, all finance, all business, every ship at sea, every bridge than spans the gulf, and every discovery in the great world of science owes its origin, its inception, its first impulse to the exercise of that. strange gift, imagination-a power to make images.

-Dr. S. Parkes Cadman

Finesse

To the dismay of the entire staff of a smart restaurant, one customer sat down and deftly tied a napkin abdut his neck. There was a whispered confefence, in which the manager instructed the waiter, "Ffe must not have his feelings hurt, but try to make him understand somehow that that's not done h€re."

The waiter approached his customer with a gentle smile: "Shave, sir, or haircut?"

Unforgetting

Whep every breath of wind

Reminds me of some wh,ispered word you've said, And every branch that bends its head

To touch me is some fond embrace, f{ow can I put old memories aside

For lesser joys? Oh that I might

In some bewitching way inspire the gods

To put all things aright

For us aspace

And give us one eternal moment of respite.

-John R. Andrews

A Smqrt Answer

He was taking his examination for a driver's licrnse, and when the officer asked him:

"What would you do if you were driving at high speed and your brakes failed to work?"

He answered:

"Hit something cheap."

That wasn't the regular answer, but a mighty good substitute.

Pride'of Ancestry

It's lucky that the ancestors of a lot of folks came over in the Mayfower. The immigration laws are much stricter now.

"The sheet-anchor of the Ship of State is the common school. Teach, first and last, Americanism. Let no youth leave the school without being thoroughly grounded in the history, the principles, the incalculable blessings of American Libqrty. Let the boys be the trained soldiers of constitutional freedom, the girls the intelligent lovers of fr€e men."

The Womqn First

A marriage had been arranged by Queen Victoria and the Czar of Russia for Princess Alix of Hesse and Alexander, heir-apparent to the throne of Russia. Only one last detail remained to be accomplished-a formal proposal of marriage by the young Russian prince and its acceptance by the young princess.

"My father, the Czar," said the Prince, scrupulously conforming to the cer€mony of proposal, "has commanded me to offer you my hand and heart."

"My grandmother, the Queen of England," replied the Princess, with equal conformity, "has commanded me to accept your hand." But then, being first a. woman and second a princess, she departed from the prescribed ritual to add, "Your heart I shall take myself."

And history proves that she did.

He Knows His Bqrs

The policeman's son was learning music:

. "How many beats are there to the bar in this piece of music, Dad?"

"Fancy asking a policeman a question like that," said the boy's mother. "If you asked your Dad how many bars there were to the beat, he might have been able to tell you."

Fqirh

You cannot have too great faith. You cannot believe too much. All the believing you can possibly do cannot encircle more than a fragment of the truth. The universe is filled with more wonders than we can imagine. There is more good in existence than we are able to use. It is our personal limitations, not the limitations of the supply that keeps us in poverty.

That marriage is a worthy institution

Is a fact I'm clearly conscious of, my pet; But let this be my Leap Year's contribution; I'm not ready for an institution yet !
