28 | Too Much Tafk—T' = With all the news I keep in touch, and I’'m forever reading of delegates who talk too much, whose tongues are always speeding. And some are men of high .estate, and some obscure and humble; and when they’re called on to orate, like busy bees they bumble. They see a large, attentive crew tb hear their spiel collected, and they tell all they ever knew and all they e’er suspected. Warmed by grape juice or lemon pop, they set the language flowing; they can’t re- member when to stop and don’t know where they’re going. And when the ghastly morning Lreaks they get the daily papers and read, with many piebald aches, the story of their capers. When they behold their words in print they know they left their bases, and sweat, of deep magenta tint, rolls down their furrowed faces. And then in cold despair they rise and frame excuses neatly: “The blamed reporters, blank their eyes, mis- quoted us completely.” But none believes this tawdry tosh, rone likes the whining groaner, and stalg excuses will not wash when one has puiled a boner. Man would .such dire disaster dodge if he would can the spiel- ing and spend the long hours in his lodge, and knock flies off the ceiling. WALT MASON. (Copyrizht by Georze Matthew Adams.)
