NUMBER 286.
MANY PROMIN
APPEARED
AT GRi
Washington, Dec, ll-'Peace and
preparedness ad vocales' alike came in
.for a laking fire of Jest at the Win
ter dinner of the Gridiron club to
night. At the close the preparedness
ranks appeared the stronger, but
theil- casualties from verbal shrapnel
were almost as iicavy as those .of the
pacifists.
President Wilson, Vice President
Marshall, members of the.cabinet, sen
ators, representatives and mon promi
nent in nubile life from many parts of
?the couutry were among the club's
guests. The chorus of the song in
troducing the Pr?sidait follows: .
We take our stand back of you. Mr.
. . Wilson,
Strength to your arm wo give;
You're the- leader of all,
We Tespond to your call,
Wo will steift} firm with you for the
red, white.-and blue.' .
No party or faction divides us in
;. twain
We're just plain Americans, proud of
the name;.
. _ Let tho world realizo
Naught cai?, sever our t'63?
We take ' cur bats off to you.
-A figure representing William Jen
nings Bryan was prominent in the
. evening's entertainment. Ho bobbc-J
up in three skits," always in a stellar
cole.
"The Saccharine Soldier," perhaps
,x the liveliest of all .the .sketches,
broug?t the former secretary of state
to the fore as the leader of a bair d of
soldiers, armed with man;hDinllov.\i,
bon hons and ether canchea ' awi ex
hibited as relics of a barbar?6 iago.
Among the officers were General 'Giim
drop, Colonel Caramel, Major: "M>rsh
. mallow, Captin Chmdy , ana fothers
v bearing names of confections,' Tho
soldiers' "weapons" were ?dge- re'd,
white atid b!?ue candy canes;' which
they waved.quito recklessly.
Announcement of the loss "of all of
the army's chowing gum to a girl's
school and the destruction of two wug
on loads of chautauqua contracte
. caused great distress. In the camp.
Mr. Bryan thon ebliged nvlt'i'"Good
bye, chief, 'I'm through.". H.ere is
the chorus: '
Goodbye,;chief, I'm. tbrottgh,
I. pray you'll-,^ooi^rget ;
1' say goodbye to you
With moro or ICES regret;
I go to save the nation.
With lecture'-.and oration,
So. I bid a-fond adieu.
Goodbye Oai'efI'-God. bless you,
I'm through.
As Mr. Bryan finished singing, Gon

in establishing workshops where idle*

Preceded by a R?cipe for Happiness
Happiness goes out from the heart before it comes in. It never
by any chance stays at home. You can harvest it for the com
mon good, but you cannot store it for your sole individual
use, You can lend it but you cannot borrow it, you can earn
it but you cannot buy it, you) can spend it but you cannot ac
cumulate it. A man must contribute to the stock of human
joys before he can participate in its profits. To seek happiness
without: giving it is a futile quest* and all our longings for what
we have not learned to ?ive to others are as empty bottles in
the wine cellar of the soul. Happiness really never was any
good in this world but to give away!
