"1 am a helpful duV 1 say, in tones that quiver; "I've cut out all such grub as onions and fried liver." I proudly make the boast that I'm no war time glutton; and then 1 buy n roast of pork or beef or mutton. I chase alon.t the street until my fect have bunions, denouncing- those who eat beef liver fried with onions. It is a mess I hate, hato worse at every trial; so cheerfully I ,i-aU about my self denial. It fills me with disirust. with ire too great to utter, to see you take a crust and spread it thick with butter. I'm hew ing Uncle Sam by cutting out the greases; with marma-hi-'c and jam I spread my loaves in pieces. Cireaso nlwny. i.i-.Ts me boils mid strews my face with pimples, and my umi: iuii spoils, so 1 must dope with simples. So butter I n:isc, with stern ejaculation, and then I spread the news ln.w I UMt conservation. The grub that I detest wilh scorn 1 M ilaiiy treating, and fill up with the rest, the things I'm find of eating.

NOTE: For the highest form of poetry, for exquisite and elevating thought and philosophy, we have hero the perfection of drama in all its forms, of plot, underplot, construction, accumulative interest and intensity; and, best of all, its humanity and pieturesquencss; for these reasons, this comedy will endure to the crack of doom. There are supposed to be those who would hRvc its studv removed from our schools. It were pitiful that any fancied feeling of resentment towards our great dramat-st should influence this act; because no offense can possibly be read even between the lines either to Jews or Christians, both of whom are represented as citizens of a great universe, struggling as we do now, in com merce for the mastery of the market. If one felt inclined to take offense, the Christians have more occasion than the Jews, for several of the characters f?'TV (r1dlnn,rll' numan' and "rto'nly very commonplace. Rather LV.?Tn It?
