The manifest intent of the maaers or ; tne pocket-boOk - was. among other things, to provide j a suitable enclosure for a consid erable quantity of United Staties currenr. I m quite convinced inai tne pocsei-DOOK under ja heavy strain would hare stood ip well, although my experiments, being limited to sums varying from one U eleven dollars, aire not of eonrfee entirely conclusive. I recall a day long ago, when the future appeared to me as' a hen which was pretty certain to give birth to quintuplets, but which never eld, (when I carried - that pocket-book;i in a spirit of confi dence that in the retrospect ap pears . beautiful but dumb. HUt". stately, I found the pocket-book to be somewhat of a burden to my person, at which thne I put It away in a drawer, having in mind Its use aa a repository for clip pings and notes for posterity , to read. I should not thus impose upon posterity were I not fully aware that posterity will not read these clippings and notes If it is not disposed to do so. know; perfectly well that It will understand ft b a t I shall never know whether it reads them or not, so thefe is little possibility that the matter will entail sad ness or annoyance.. The foregoing explanation, which I fear Is overly long. Is preliminary f to- announcing that the most recent note to be added to the collection in the pocket- book is as follows: "November 4, 193 6 President Roosevelt was yesterday re-elected by the great est-plurality! in American history. Never before has the I-told-you-so element in the pop ul.i tion been subjected tcj such a et'sin.

I am aware that "worthwhile" tag to a picture or a book: does not always result In a favorable reaction In the minds of this pursuers of I amuse ment.

I have yet to see a motion play with which some individual was not dissatisfied. I suspect the reason far it h lj lies sometimes In the nature of the Individual rather than in the play.; One morning late In the fall of 1882 I stood on the deck of a Fall River steamer goijng up the East river at New Yorfc. It was my first visit to New Yotrk, and I had risen early to see; the Brooklyn bridge. which most folks thought at that time to be :a wonderful piece of engineering; However, as I stood n awe before the spectacle, two men Joined, the -group on deck. atfd onle of J these men, evidently a New Yorker, proudly called the attention of the other to the bridge, "Hmph."' grunted the other, sourj as vinegar, nothin but a brSdge, is it?"
