And I says vou het it is, dear, there is nothing like the old home stuff And all the while we was saving this we was listening to each other with one ear while the other ear was taking in all the sounds of merriment pass ing on the street. such as tin horns doing solos and duets. choruses and tri Also cars full of laughing folks going by, and the neighbors acrost the starting out for no good and velling. WELL. T and Geo. stood the strain just as long as we could, which was to about nine-thirty, and then we decided where it would be a good sensible idea to heat it up to bed and forget all in dreamland. So we done that, at least we went on up to bed. Then just as we wae dozing off a big crowd stopped at our front door and commenced passing a few remarks with all the quiet of a conversation with their deaf aunt. Hey Bill, says one. this is the house, sure, this is the house! And Bill says, naw, that ain't the house, whatcha mean it's the house? Yeh, says another voice, it's the house, I betcha it's the house! Well naturally by this time T and Geo. was both outa hed, and the door- bell was ringing and so Geo. put his head out the window and the fellers on the street yelled. hey. is Tom in” by S | tena “THIS WAS TOO MUCH FOR GEO.” And Geo. savs Tom says no, Tom Coflins! And Geo. says no. he don’t live here. And they savs do vou know where he's moved to”? And Geo. says no, but I am moved to call # cop if you don't shut up and get out of this. So they did. and we went on hack to bed, and could almost of went to sleep only for a fire engine coming through the street, and nat urally we hadda get up again to see that. But when we was sure it wasn’t our house, we merely savs, well, what fools them people must be to have fire in their home and stay up all night merely on account it's New Year's Eve. And with other remarks to prove our own superiority, why we went on back bed, and would of gone to sleep only for the neighbors just 1o the south of us 1 dunno had they been watching to see our Mght go out or if it was merely a coincidence, but I never liked that woman anvwavs, and I alwave suspected she had it in for me. ap though 1 was never certain bhefore But it was a4 true fact, no sooner had we commenced flirting with th# sand. man then them neighbors commenced rting with sudden death. on a t they. begun plaving their piano. 1t was a dance tune. and some hit on the idea of playving the drum on the window pane nearest us. and hit the idea with a crash Geo. couldnt siand it no longer.

Old Proverbs Are Put Into New Forms To Suit Conditions of Modern Timesi BY STEPHEN LEACOCK. T has occurred to me that some bhodr in the English department of nur colleges ought to get busy and” rewrite our national prov- erbs. They are all out of date, don't fit any longer. Indeed, of them are precisely the con They many versa of existinz facts “ come down to long ago. days vers primitive very different, »oved more than from home and dark. and when | Our have from hen the and very when people a mile and were all afraid of tf wisdom was handed by old men | with white whiskers. every one of | whom would be “retired” nowadays | by any firstcl hoard of trustees as past the limit of common | But in days the things that were said by these wise old men who had never seen a motor car, were gathered up and called proverbs and yepeated by all the common people as the last words wisdom. The It is that ev we still go vepeating them. without realizin how hopelessly they are off the track. Take as a first sample the proverh that is perhaps the known in our language prover the davs of simple those ali hest OoF A F TOG BIRDS ATHER THE! 1. Ask the ook last FLOCK | they naturalist don first-class | I another Fut Any wise old men had would have hirds ever ogether. In of a hundred their own spe. when it is abso. So much for the they [i out from flock taken that = seen th want do is ninety-nine they keep av only ir cies, and lutely necessary But the prover refer people again. People flock together with little women. A beautiful fair skin and red an who looks like a orang-outanz. A professor dlend of an auctioneer and would rather spend a day with an Adirondack fishing guide than with a whole vaultful of bank ers. Burglars during the daytime go and read In the public library. Forgers In their off time go and sing in a choral society, and choral lead ers when they are not singing shoot craps. In short, there i nothing in the proverb whatsoever. It ought to he revisad under the modern conditions to read is veally supposed | ind_then it is of a fe; Tall men to to wrong " love do r in with a hair marries a reformed makes a 2 hanker “PEOPLE ‘OF A FEAT!

Tv—\l.l, MEN LOVE WITH LITTLE WOME | Birds of any particular feather and persons of any particular characterr or occupation show upon the whole a disposition rather 1o seek out some- thing dissimilar to their own appear- | ance and nature than to consort with something homologous to their own | essential entity. In that shape one has a neat, work- able proverh. Try another A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS. Entirely wrang again. This was supposed to show that a yvoung man who wandered from home never got on in the world. In very ancient days it was true. The young may who stayed at home and worked hard and tilled the ground and goaded oxen with a long stick like a lance found himself as he grew old a man of property, owning four goats and a sow. The son who wandered forth in the world was either killed by the cannibals or | rd doubled 0 the old awled home years after up with rheumatism. men made the proverh. But nowadays it is exactly wrong. It s the rolling stone that gathers the moss. It is the ambitious bhoy from Honkville, Ind,, who trudges off to the city, leaving his elder brother in the barnyard, and who later on makes a fortune and founds a uni- versity. While his elder brother still has oniy the old farm wth three cows and a couple of pigs. he has a whole | department of agriculture with great | sheds full of Tanworth hogs and a professor to every six of them. In short, in modern life it ix the volling stone that gathers the moss. And the geologists say that the moss on the actual stone was first started in exactly the same way. It was t‘x rolling of the stone that smashed the earth and made the moss grow. Take another proverb: ALL IS NOT GOLD THAT GLIT- TERS. ridiculous! Every is gold that glitters. Put on clothes | enough, appearance enough, pretense | enough, and you will be accepted | everywhere. Just do a little glittering land everyhody will think you are gold. | Make a show, he a humbug, and you | will' succeed 'so fast. that presentl: | being very wealthy and prominent. you wlill really think yourself a per- s0n of merit and intellect. In other words, the glitter makes the gold. That is all there i to it. Gold {is really one of the most useless of .lH‘ | material objects. en now we have | found no real use for it. except to fill |our teeth. Any other employment of is just glitter. So the proverh might | be revised to read | " “Every thing or person may be said to stand in high esteem and to pass at a high value provided that it or he makes a sufficient show, glitter. or appearance, the estimation being in | inverse ratin to the true quantitative measurement of the reality of it, them or her.” That makes a | erb. ~expressed curacy. Or here is another famous proverb that is exactly the contrary of truth: PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES OUGHT NOT TO THROW STO) S Not at all. They are the very peo- ple who ought to throw stones and to keep on throwing them all the time. They ought keep up such |a fusillade of stones from their glass house that no one can get near fit. | Or if the proverd is taken to mean neat, workahle prov- with up-to-date ac | | to | that peaple who have faults of their own ought not to talk of other people faults, it is equaily mistaken. They pght to talk of other people’s faults 1 the time so as away from their own. But the list of proverhs is so long that it is impossible to do more than make a casual mention of a few others. | One swallow does not make a | mer. Perhaps not. But there are | ever =0 many occasions when one allow—just one single swallow— {is better ‘than nothing at all. And |if you .get enough of them, they do make a_Summer. " Charity begins at home. Perfectly |absurh. © Watch any modern city | householder when a beggar comes to | his door.
