Come, let us look at it very closely, (‘tis a very ugly word) And one that will make us shudder whenever it is heard. It may not be always wicked; it must | | always be bad And speaks of sin and suffering enough to make one mad. They say it is a compound word, and that is very true, And then they decompose it, and that they're free to do. If, of the dozen letters, we take off the | first three, We have the nine remaining, as sad as sad can be; For though it seems to make it less in fact it makes it more; For it takes the brute creation in, that was left out before. Instead of three and nine, let us make it four and eight; You'll say it makes no difference, at least none very great; But only see the consequence, ‘tis all that need be done, To change this mass of sadness to un- mitigated fun! It clears way swords and pistols, re- volvers, bowie knives And all those horrid weapons, by which men lose their lives, It wakens nation’s voices and most joy- fully is heard The native sound of gladness com- pressed into one word. Yes, four and eight, my friends Let that be yours and mine; For all the hosts of demons re- joice in three and nine. If it keeps you up all night in vain, the answer is on page 48, Replying to the Pope's Ie cent assertion —when he ac- cused Italy of aping Germany's racial theories—that he is a descendant of the Milanese who “chased out the Germans,” Il Tevere commented: “In 1948 the Milanese did not chase * the Germans away for the simple rea- son that there were no Germans there, This is history. The rest is bunk.” N.Y. Mirror. This is prophecy, and it’s all bunk. THE BEST IN ‘BIG APPLES'- Do you get so furious you could put arsenic in the water cooler?
