Another Spartan Maid The Graphic says a little Kinsley girl was told that polite people did not talk about their ailments in company, or out- side the family. So when a visitor asked her if she was well, she said, “Well, in the family, I have the stom- ach: ache, but in company I am quite well, thank you. —Kansas Notes, Kansas City Star. Not Exclusively His Irate Farmer: Szy! Do you think you own this road? Coot Auto Driver: Why, no. There are other motorists. —Boston Transcript. Iconoclasm Sinclair Lewis says all one has to do to be young is to become an icono- clast. In other words, that’s the sec- ond stage of breaking all your toys. —Topeka Capital. SCIENCE We'll be able to listen to the next world war by radio.” —Simplicissimus (Munich). “Jack isn’t the same to me any more.” “Did you see him with another?” “No, he saw_me with another.” —Sans-Géne (Paris). “How jolly! Noise I like noise. The whoop of a boy, the thud of a hoof, The rattle of rain on a galvanized roof, The hubbub of traffic, the roar of a train, The throb of machinery numbing the brain, The switching of wires in an overhead tram, rush of the wind, a door on the slam, The boom of the thunder, the crash of the waves, The din of a river that races and raves, The crack of a rifle, the clank of a pail. The strident tattoo of a swift-slapping sail— From any old sound that the silence destroys Arises a gamut of soul-stirring joys. I like noise.—Punch.
