Cypress

The Cat and the King A CAT was looking at a King, as permitted by the proverb. "Well," said the monarch, observing her inspection of the royal person,"how do you like me?" "I can imagine a King,"said the Cat,"whom I should like better." "For example?" "The King of the Mice." The sovereign was so pleased with the reply that he gave her permission to scratch his prime ministers eyes out.

Windmill

Cartesian, adj. Relating to Descartes, a famous philosopher, author of the celebrated dictum, Cogito ergo sum--whereby he was pleased to suppose he demonstrated the reality of human existence. The dictum might be improved, however, thus: Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum--"I think that I think, therefore I think that I am"; as close an approach to certainty as any philosopher has yet made.

The Double Square

October 18

Fool, n. A person who pervades the domain of intellectual speculation and diffuses himself through the channels of moral activity. He is omnifie, omniform, omnipercipient, omniscient, omnipotent. He it was who inventented letters, printing, the railroad, the steamboat, the telegraph, the platitude and the circle of the sciences. He created patriotism and taught the nations war--founded theology, philosophy, law, medicine and Chicago. He established monarchical and republican government. He is from everlasting to everlasting--suchas creation's dawn beheld he fooleth now. In the morning of time he sang upon primitive hills, and in the noonday of existence headed the processoin of being. His grandmotherly hand has warmly tucked-in the set sun of civilization, and in the twilight he prepares Man's evening meal of milk-and-morality and turns down the covers of the universal grave. And after the rest of us shall have retired for the night of eternal oblivion he will sit up to write a history of human civilization.
