Dinner

Oh hour upon hour, the most blest upon earth Blessed hour of our dinners. The land of his birth The face of his first love, the bills that he owes, The twaddle of friends and the venom of foes, The sermon he heard when to church he last went, The rnoney he borrowed, the money he spent, All these things, f befieve, a man may forget And not be the worse for forgetting-but yet Never, never, O never, earth's luckiest sinner, Hath unpunished forgotten the hour of his dinner; Indigestion, that conscience of every bad stomache, Shall relentlessly gnaw and pursue him with some ache Or pain; and trouble, remorseless, his best ease, As the furies once troubled the sleep of Orestes. We may live without poetry, music, and art, We may live without conscience and live without heart, We-may live without friends, we may live without books, But civilized rnan cannot live without cooks. We may live without books-what is knowledge but grieving?

We may live without hope-what is hope but deceiving? We may live without love-what is passion but pining?

But where is the man who can live without dining?

(From Owen Meredith's 'Lucille")

They Knew Their Mcrth

During World War One, a dusky American soldier "over there," $ras spending his Sunday rnorning trying to rid himself and his clothing of the heavy supply of "cooties" he had accumulated up front where there were no washing facilities.

A Sergeant noticing his efforts wanted to know what he was doing. The soldier said:

"I'se huntin' fo' dem 'rithmatic bugs."

The Sergeant caught on. He asked:

"But why do you call those cooties 'rithmatic bugs?"

The soldier said:

"Cause dey add to mah misery, dey subtracks from mah pleasha, dey devides mah attenshun, and dey multiplies lak hell."

The Scme

"'When you're away, I'm restless, lonely, Wretchedl, bored, dejected; only Here's the rub, my darling dear, I feel the same when you are here."

Lcbor crnd Luck

Luck is ever waiting for something to turn up.

Labor, with keen eyes and strong will, will turn up something.

Luck lies in bed and waits for the postman to bring him a legacy.

Labor turns out at seven a.m. with a busy pen or a ringing hammer and lays the foundation for competence.

Luck whines.

Labor whistles.

Luck relies on chance.

Labor on character.

Originclity

The two colored gents were brought into court, one of them badly beaten up. The Judge said to the other one whom he knew: "Mose, the Devil must have been in you to make you hurt this man in such a way."

He looked his victim over casually, and remarked: "Jedfe, de debbil mighta tole me to black his eyes and bust his nose an' mouf, but chewin' his ear off-dat was mah own idea."

Goinq to Wcrste

A man traveling in the mountains of Tennessee, stopped at a cabin and asked for a drink of water. An old'vvoman brought it to him, and after drinking he had quite a talk with her. He told her of his travels, and of wonders he had seen in many parts of the world. Finally he stopped bragging, and the old woman took the pipe from her mouth and said:

"Stranger, if I knowed as much as you do, I'd go somewhere and start a little grocery."

Abrcrhcm Lincoln on Law

"Let reverence for law be breathed by every mother to her lisping babe. Teach it in colleges. Write it in primers, spelling books, and almanacs. Preach it in pulpits. Proclaim it in legislative halls. Enforce it in the courts of Justice. Let it become the religion of every nation, and let men and women of all tongues and colors sacrifice unceasingly at its altars."

Oliver Wendell Holmes Scid:

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. To reach the desired port we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we MUST sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
