On My Knee

And the King with his golden sceptre, The Pope with St. Peter's key, Can never unlock the one little heart, That is opened only to me; For I am the Lord of a Realm, And I am the Pope of a See, Indeed I'm supreme in the kingdom, That is sitting, just now, on my knee.

-C. H. Webb

Advice From Conlucius

"The old men, when they wished their virtues to shine throughout the land, first had to govern their states well. To govern their states well, they first had to establish harmony in their families. To esatblish harmony in their families, they first had to discipline themselves. To discipline themselves, they first had to make their purpose sincere. To make their purpose sincere, they first had to extend their knowledge to the utmost. Such knowledge is acquired through a careful investigation of things. For, with things investigated, knowledge becomes complete. With knowledge complete, the purpose becomes sincere. With the purpose sincere, the mind is set in order. With the mind set in order there is real self-discipline. With real self-discipline, the family achieves harmony. With harmony in the family, the state becomes well governed. With the state well governed, there is peace throughout the land."

Articulction

Demosthenes, accursed by fate, 'Tis said, could not articulate; But, being a determined chap, IIe overcame this handicap. With zeal sublime, by fate unbalked, He gargled pebbles as he talked. And thus became, historians say, The top spell-binder of his day. L'Envoi

This tale of triumph over fate, Inspires one with a wobbly plate, Which causes one as much dismay, As though t'were made for Martha Raye.

Thcrt Climcrte Business

"IJnderstand you're a victim of the housing shortage, living in cramped quarters. Do you suffer much from the climate?"'

"I'll say I do. I have to share a room with a guy from California."

An lrish Blessing

"May the blessings of Light be on you, light from within and light from without. May the blessed sunlight shine on you and warm your hear till it glows like a great peat fire, so that the stranger may come and warm himself at it' and also a friend.

"And may the light shine out of the two eyes of you, like a candle set in two windows of a house, bidding the wanderer come in out of the storm. And may the blessings of the rain to be on you-the soft, sweet rain. May it fall upon your spirit so that all the little flowers may spring up, and shed their sweetness on the air.

"And may the blessing of the Great Rains be upon you, may they beat upon your spirit and wash it fair and clean, and may it shine like a shining pool where the blue of heaven shines reflected, and sometimes a star.

"And may the blessing of the Earth be on you-the great and round Earth: may you ever have a kindly greeting for them you pass as you're going along the roads. May the Earth be soft under you as you lay out upon it, tired at the end of the day, and may it rest easy over you when, at last, you lay out under it. May it rest so lightly over you that your soul may be quickly up and through it, and up, and off, and on it's way to

God."-(From "The Sienan.")

Two Little Morons

Two little morons were working in their office in a tall building when they heard a shriek from outside, and saw a neighbor from the floor above falling past their window. A minute later another friend burst into their room, saying:

"Gosh, did you hear about Jimmy Smith? Fell twenty stories just a couple of minutes ago. He's lying out there on the pavement-looks horrible."

"That's funny," said one of the morons. "When he passed here just a little while ago he was looking fine."

Temptction

When some of us flee from temPtation, Averting our lips from the cup, We practically crawl while departing, In hope the darned thing will catch up.

Revenge

A Naval Commander in uniform was standing at the front door of a big city hotel waiting for a friend to come for him, when a fat couple got out of a taxi and the lady demanded to know where the dress and suit convention was being held. He politely replied that he was sorry but he did not know. Whereupon the fat lady gave him a verbal dressing down for his ignorance, remarking that they had a right to expect better service from this hotel. He listened politely, then asked them to follow him. They followed him through the lobby, around a couple of corners, where he opened a door and ushered them into the Men's Room. Then he didn't remain to see what happened next.
