GOLLICKY'S INDIGNATION.
Comments on Fare Sentiments nnd Lack of
Morality of Author.
"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. Detroit Free
