The ridiculous human being who is so fond of calling himself the lord of
creation is nothing hut the passive creature of every wind that blows. He ii
as susceptible to outward influences as the mercury to the climatic changes
The soul of a man is nothing but a thermometer whose heart is the spirit
that expands or contracts when the warming influences of pleasant events
surround him. or the cold hand of disappointment chills him.
Just now one could almost tell by walking down Fourth street whethei
the latest railroad news received was good or bail. If you could not see it
you could certainly hear it. There is nothing for it but to place the blanket
of patience over the glass.
It seems to become more the vogue all the time to refrain from giving
out news to the press. The warring nations have established the fashion sc
strongly that war will soon lose one of its chief glories, and that might be
no loss to anyone. Once kill hero worship and you kill war.
invitations to dinner are a remarkable institution. They are usually
given by friends but they can sometimes result in the most acute torture

where you can sprawl all over the chair are two different pastimes altogether

fine. The landlady explains how she spoiled the dessert for the first time ir
her life. Then comes the polite genius that always likes just that Sort of
soup and his w fe follows up with the most ingenious of all forms of flattery—
asking the hostess for the recipe for the salad. The baby of the house comes
