By Too Cuexevix EMORY has had altogether too much said in its M praise. To know how to forget as well as how to remember is of the greatest importance. How to forget is perhaps of more account, because there are so many things that in sheer nature ought to be forgotten. On the other hand, those which deserve to be immortalized by memory are very few. It is bound soon to be a mark of high moral standard for us to be able to forget permanently. The judiciary has long recognized this. Amnesia, moreover, need not be considered a disease, but rather an accomplishment, and, besides, as to diseases, the doctors have enough on their list already. Most of us regret with ample reason that our memo- ries are so good as to approach the abnormal borderline, and the consequent power of forgetting is bad in quality It is most unpleasant to keep in mind the gas-meter,the rent, shoemakers, carfares, burglars, enemies, bills cetera, and nothing whatever seems to be gained by it. It is truly noticeable that the superior people of our acquaintance who quite forget all these items, and more too, actually appear to progress through life much better than we do, at least as far as we have both gone. Amnesia is not a very intelligible or pretty word, somehow, and it might be replaced by one of clearer meaning. No matter about its origin, Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-anything, provided it is handy, and an antonym of Memor hfergitit” is easy, musical, cuphonious, colloquial, and suggestive, and, as far as we know, it is new to the dictionary. It smacks of the human. “Ahfergitit” is a good word, defining what Memory not, and if we accustom ourselves to its lesson we shall soon become adepts in an advanced scientific art.

He says he is amazed to observe the changes that have not taken place.” asserted “But you don’t need a beauty sleep, dear,” answered \ hubby. And it came to pass that wifie quickly arose and there have been no more late breakfasts in that household, even unto this day No Campment. The Mouse—Let's see you do this. Drawn by Le comicbooks.com
