"More Toasts"

"

Kindness is wisdom. There is none in life
But needs it and may learn.
--_Bailey_.

Beauty lives with kindness.--_Shakespeare_.


KINGS AND RULERS

_Kings and Emperors_
Kings and Emperors shall pass
Like the sands within the glass.
See them passing even now,
Shorn of power, and bent of brow!
Purblind they who saw not Fate
Standing by the palace gate;
Deaf were they, and their reward
Is the Justice of the Lord!
--_Clinton Scollard_.

SAM--"Who was the first Kaiser?"
BULL--"How do I know? Ask me something easy."
SAM--"Something easy?"
BULL--"Yes; ask me who's the last."

The Kaiser said, "What shameful fears
I'm now compelled to feel;
I stacked the cards for thirty years
And then mussed up the deal!"

"Can you tell me," said the Court, addressing Enrico Ufuzzi, under
examination at Union Hill, N.J., as to his qualifications for
citizenship, "the difference between the powers and prerogatives of
the King of England and those of the President of the United States?"
"Yezzir," spoke up Ufuzzi promptly. "King, he got steady job."

In the English royal library at Windsor, in the center of the magazine
table, there is a large album of pictures of many eminent and popular
men and women of the day.
