Priest Megatherium tied the knot, There in that verdant, blissful spot. Papa Tamandu gave ‘way the bride, Bestowing his fondest blessing ; While Mr. Ichneumon was best man, Promiscuously caressing. The bridesmaids were the handsomest yet; Miss Mandrill and Miss Marmoset. Then all sat down to a banquet fine, Of fried ants and eggs of lizards, Cooked by Nyula and chef Unau, Greatest of kitchen wizards.

IENTZ & CO. Newark, N. J. Kremeats Collar unless all signs fail, diplomacy may soon have to take a back seat. Diplomacy comes in envoys, ambas- sadors and plenipotentiaries. First introduced by a lady in the Garden of Eden, it has been appropriated by man as a preliminary to benevolent assimi- lation, which generally includes battle, murder and sudden death. Diplomatic relations between two countries are the sum total of lies ex- changed between wars. The best dip- lomat, therefore, is the man who can tell the most lies in a given time and get away with them. The best quality of diplomacy is always acquired by the wealthiest na- tions, who can best afford it. Weaker nations employ a combination of truth and simplicity, which up to date -has had little market value. “Or the best socicty it used to be said; its conversation affords instruc- tion, whilst its silence imparts culture.” —Goethe. comicbooks.com
