Dewey of Primrose, Nebraska, and a dozen or so others from other places.

We wish we had space for all of them here (to say nothing of the eighty-odd letters to the Editor that have been crowded out of this issue), but the best we can do is to quote a paragraph from Mr. Dewey's letter, which is fairly typical of the rest:

"By all means publish 'The Transparent Ghost.' It must truly be a marvellous tale if it is possible to read it forward or backward, and still fully understand it. That is the outstanding deficiency in other stories: that it is impossible to read them in more than one way, and still fathom their meaning. And reflect well upon what it would mean to the reading public to lose such a gem of literature."

At any rate, we've done our duty. The gem hasn't been lost.

THE EDITOR.



The amount realized from a sale of articles from New York's dead letter office recently was over $30.00.

Mr. Wombat insisted on his wife's ordering ice cream every day. Some days he ate it and some days he didn't touch it. His wife had argued the question of having it every day, but he was firm. So she asked his chum to put in a word. After some hesitation this gentleman did so, and then Mr. Wombat explained his position.

"Ice cream," he stated, "is a dish that I like to have on the table. You eat it or you don't eat it. In either case that ends the transaction. They can't warm it over."

Night was coming on, the storm was increasing and some of the deck fittings had already been swept overboard, when the captain decided to send up a distress signal.

The rocket was already lit and about to ascend when a solemn passenger spoke.

"Captain," said he, "I'd be the last man on earth to cast a damper on any man's high spirits, but it seems to me this is no time for letting off fireworks."

"What do you think of that tower for height?" asked the Londoner.

"Waal, now," said Cyrus T. Ruth of New York, "do you call that high? Say, in our ninety-first story bedrooms we always have to close the windows at night to keep the clouds from rolling in."
