Longfellow Wrole:

I heard the bells on Christmas day, Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet, the words repeat Of "peace on earth, good will to men."

.And in despair I bowed my head, "There is no peace on earth," I said, For hate is strong and mocks the song Of "peace on earth, good will to men.'

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep, "God is not dead, nor does He sleeP ! The wrong shall fail ! The right prevail ! Q With'peace on earth, good will to men'."

A Wonderful Life

It's great to be an editor And sit up late at night, And scratch your wool, And shoot the bull. And write and write and write.

Modern Orotory

There are two kinds of latter-day orators: There is that brand of windjamming in which the orator tells his audience what he is going to tell them.

Then he tells them.

Then he tells them what he's already told them.

And then there is the type of orator of the old school who uses qr6sds-g13ny words-to cover up any particular meaning he may have. After the opposing lawyer in the case has spoken, he rises and says:

"Resting upon the couch of Republican liberty as I do: covered with the blanket of Constitutional panoply as I am, and protected by the aegis in American equality as I feel myself to be, I despise the buzzing of the professional insect who has just taken his seat, and I defy his attempt to penetrate with his puny sting the interstices of my impervious covering."

Shock

Those Hq'irs

A man guest in a hotel complained to the manager that he had found a hair in his ice cream, a hair in the honey, and a hair in the applesauce. The manager considered the matter and said:

Mdn's Food

What should I eat for dinner?

What should I feed my hide?

Is food that broils the best for boils?

Or best the food that's fried?

Is juicy roast or just plain toast best for me to eat?

I devour the food that's sour only food that's sweet?

All would be well if I could tell

Just what will do the trick .

And if too thin my blood has been, What makes it nice and thick.

Oh well, oh wellif I could,tell . .

It really gets my goat;

So I will start with a la carte

And end with table d'hote.

I'll make my break for juicY steak, Potatoes and green Peas.

And then I'll travel all the way

From oysters down to cheese.

On such a hike I'm sure I'll strike

Exactly what I orter;

If not I'll still have vitamins

On just a glass of water.

When the lawyer learned thathis client had inherited $2,000,000, he remarked to his secretary:

"I'll have to break it to him gently, or the old man will drop dead."

So he said to his fortunate client:

"Mr. Jones, what would you say if I told you that you have inherited TWO MILLION DOLLARS?"

The old man grinned, sensing a joke, and said:

"I'd say, old friend, that you can have half of it."

And the lawyer dropped dead.

AThought for Chrislmqs

We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath; and inall changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving one
