"That gives mo a stitch," roared1 Gollicky as he threw down a literary review and glared around the family circle. Gollicky always roars when ho wants to give emphasis to his senti ments, yet his heart is ns tender aa that of a good woman. "What is it, dear?" asked Mrs. Gol licky, who Is never disturbed by those outbursts on tho part of her husband. What is it? Why soma fool critic here, who writes as though his dictum had tho seal of divine confirmation,, says that Wordsworth, Milton, Brown ing and others who play so skillfully upon the chords of ono'a soul possess that power because their writings aro but tho reflection of tholr own most pure and virtuous lives." "Isn't it true, dear?" "Not within 40 rows of apple trees. It's rubbish. That fellow's a U3d de gree chump. Most pure and virUious lives, indecdl" with a snort "How about Byron, Goldsmith, Johnson nnd that old pquad of ale-guzzlers that tho latter had about him? They jingled the soul chords, didn't they? Look at Lumpley on the Evening TwospoU Ho can write tho most refined senti ment, tho most exalted views of life tho most touching pathos, yet ho nover shows tho pusscsslon of a good moral impulse, much less a pure and virtuous life. And there's old man Blinker. Ho can set tho whole crowd weeping at a prayor-mcoting and pic turo an existence that would leave tho recording angel to make all his entries on ono side of the ledger. And what'a Blinker?" "Don't now, Gollicky." "I will, too. Blinker is a wolf that bleats like a Inmb and wears sheep's clothing. He's a white sepulchcr. He draws beautiful thoughts from tho fountain of corruption. He wrecked a bank, swindled widows and orphans,, worked a rotten land boom and beat me in a horse trade. A man can be a. demon and yet write or talk like a saint" "Why don't you tako to writing, papa?" innocently asked tho youngest, and GoWicky went grumbling to bed, wondering whether sho regarded him as a demon or saint.
