Literature is the product of ineu of genius before they found out that the Urea of genius won't act as an Injunction against a February blizzard to put It out of cominisslou in their little 8 by 10 den of literature. When a literary man falls to keep warm over pure literature he does a stunt or two for a comic supplement In order that he may get enough microbe permeated money to buy coal to aid the aforesaid tires of genius in keeping winter at bay while he again applies himself to the production of pure literature. ^ As a business literature does not stack up very well with being press agent for a popular show, but for real j twenty-two carat fame it is almor.t I equal to being an authority on Wag- j nerian music. Proof. The fellow was a genius Quite different from the mob. And ho felt sure of that because He couldn't hold a Job. More Effective Ones. "Docs he expect to leave any footprints on the sands of time?" "Xo; he will he entislicd if lie can leave a few on the eont tails of that young man who wants to lie his sonin-law." Not That Kind. "1 suppose she tends the sod over her husband's gravq with her cwn hands." "Xo; she hires a man. She does not want the impression to get out that she is a grass widow." Had Enough. Ho sat down on a bumblebee. And. though ho didn't swear, He didn't ask It to come home And be his easy chair.
