2648What are the bets; will that long- legged bondholder of a devil come up with the honest Dutchman?
2648What business has he there?
2648What is there particularly jocose about a pump, and wherefore does a long nose always provoke the beholder to laughter?
2648What was military glory to him, forsooth?
2648Where are these people now?
2648Whereabouts lies the comic vis in these persons and things?
2648Who could it be that was a match for the devil?
2648Who does not recollect the famous picture,"What IS taxes, Thomas?"
2648Who would mar the prospects of honest Roderick Random, or Charles Surface, or Tom Jones?
2648Why are short breeches more ridiculous than long?
2648Why should a beadle be comic, and his opposite a charity boy?
2648Why should a tall life- guardsman have something in him essentially absurd?

2648Why should the song of a thrush cause bright volumes of vapor to glide through Lothbury, and a river to flow on through the vale of Cheapside?
2648Why this exaggeration-- is it necessary for the public?
2648Will Hercules do so?
2648Would any one doubt what was the country of the merry fellows depicted in his group of Paddies?

42299And once again, I ask the name Of this so universal dame; What is her fortune,--where she lives, And the strange means by which she thrives? 42299 By whom, then, was QUÆ GENUS given?"
42299In answer to your just desire, Permit me fairly to enquire, Which to my ledger is transmitted, For what your qualities are fitted? 42299 QUÆ GENUS?
42299When she was in a spiteful humour, What said she of that_ pretty tumour_? 42299 When_ Sir Jeffery_ fortune gain''d, By contracts from the State obtain''d, Think you he had a pious loathing To crib a yard from soldiers''clothing?
42299--But then he mutter''d,"Where''s the shame?
42299--He asked, where these fine Ladies went?
42299--If worth lay in a flatt''ring tongue, You would not want a service long; For if you do with caution use it, Where is the ear that will refuse it?
42299--Where could he such examples see As in an artist''s gallery?
42299A little smuggling all allow, But only mind the when and how: Take your_ per centage_, but with care; And who will say it is not fair?
42299A widow she, or is she wedded?
42299Am I call''d hither to accuse Thy erring ways, and idle views?
42299Am I this moment to forget How much I''m in_ Sir Jeff''ry''s_ debt, And thus, with chance of foul disgrace, To play the rogue and risque my place?"
42299And have you not an equal claim, In a small way, to do the same?
42299And is it thus you form the plan To vault into a Gentleman?
42299And, in good faith, I wish to know, What you have done, and what can do?
42299Are not his hours by want depress''d?

42299But where''s the heart that e''er disdains The pow''r that dwells where beauty reigns?
42299Can he in all the pride of power Ensure his honours for an hour?
42299Can he pour health into his veins Or cool the fever''s restless pains?
42299Can he worn down in nature''s course New brace his feebled nerves with force?
42299Can he, how vain is mortal power, Stretch life beyond the destin''d hour?
42299Can they prolong one gasp of breath, Or calm the troubled hour of death?
42299Can they, when tortur''d by disease, Cheer our sick heart and purchase ease?
42299Could he another course prefer?

42299Fool as thou art, in thy misdoing Art thou not hast''ning to thy ruin?

42299How had he slept?
42299How was his pulse?
42299I say that we all do our duty, And if we make a little booty, We never hear_ Sir Jeff._ complain: And wherefore should one give him pain?
42299If tremors o''er the system crept?

42299Look at my legs-- my stomach see, And tell me, would you change with me?

36175Wal,ses the Kernel,"Majer, do n''t you think I''ve done well in keepin it together as long as I have?"
36175Wal,ses the Kernel,"what will come of it then, Majer?"
36175What''s that?
36175What''s up, Boss?
36175Why, Majer,ses he-- and he put on one of the queerest smiles I ever see on a man''s face--"don''t you know I have turned Dimmocrat?"
36175Why,ses I,"Kernel, what could you do then?"
36175Why,ses I,"Kernel, what makes you ask that questshin?"
36175Why,ses I,"how is that?"
36175Why,ses Linkin,"ai n''t you never heerd the story of the Giascutis?"
36175''Are you a coon?''
36175''Now, Mr. Jones, tell me whether you struck Dick Robinson?''
36175''Tut, tut, brother,''says the Elder,''how can you do so?
36175''Wal, Mr. Jones, did you hit Jim Wattles?''
36175''Wal, Mr. Jones,''said the Justess,''what do you mean by"sloshin around?"''
36175''Wal, will you warrant him a good dog for foxes?''
36175''Wal,''ses old Sol,''how do you make that out?''
36175After I got thru, ses I,"Kernel, what do you think of my dream?"
36175After he he d gone, ses I,"Kernel, how many times has Seward he d the rebellyun suppressed?"
36175After it was all over with and every thing had been decided on, ses Linkin, ses he,"Majer, do n''t you think that that is a capytal stratygim?"
36175After they had all got thru, Linkin turned to me, an ses he,"Majer, what do you think about this matter?"
36175After they went out Linkin ses to me, ses he,"Majer, what do you think of them fellows?"
36175After they were gone Linkin turned to me and ses he,"Majer, what do you think of that?"
36175Ai n''t we gone by the Shanandore Vally, by Jeemes River, by Manasses, an yet we ca n''t get to Richmond?
36175All the while the noise kept growin louder, an finally ses I,"Who on arth is that makin such a tarnal racket?"
36175And did n''t they do it?
36175Are you Union or Secesh?"
36175At last, ses I,"Kernel, have you tried eny of that old rye lately?"
36175At this Seward brushed up an asked him"what he meant?"
36175But I told you to keep your temper, an not take it as personal, but only as a joak?"
36175But what am I do?
36175But what do you think about our goin up to the army an reviewin the sojers, and seein whether I ai nt jest as popelar as ever I was?"
36175But, Major, how shall we go?"
36175But,"ses I,"Kernel, I''me terribul tired after this trip, an what do you say to havin a little old rye before we go to bed?"
36175But,"ses I,"do n''t you rekollect the story about''applyin the principle?''"
36175Command us to delivur The land from slavery''s chane?
36175Did n''t they say they would n''t fite to coerce the South?
36175Did n''t they say they would only defend the Capital, and would n''t invade Virginia, and did n''t they do it?"
36175Did you ever see a lot of hot swill put in a trough, an every single hog in the pen would go an stick in his snoot an get it burned?
36175Do n''t they do as you desire?"
36175Do n''t you hear de banjo?
36175Do n''t you hear de banjo?
36175Do n''t you hear de banjo?
36175Do n''t you hear de banjo?
36175Do n''t you hear de banjo?
36175Do n''t you see,"ses I,"Kernel, how nice that would work?
36175Do you suppose it would be dangerous for him to live down in Secesh, where they are burning_ cotton_ as fast as they kin?"
36175Do you think your dog is good for foxes?''
36175Do you want to take any more elder- bark tea?"
36175Does not grate Dr. Cheever,( And shall he speke in vain?)
36175Finally he turned to me and ses he,"Majer, ca n''t you help me out of this scrape?"
36175Finally ses he,"Majer, wat are you standin there for?"
36175Finally, Mr. Linkin, ses he,"Majer, wat on erth shall I do?"
36175Finally, he kicked his slipper off, and ses he,"Majer, do you know what good lether is?"
36175Finally, ses he,"Wal, Majer, will we have to give up the Union after all?"
36175Has that feller Stantin been cuttin up eny more of his capers?
36175He asked Linkin what could be done?
36175He caught rite hold of my hand, an ses he,"Majer, how are you?
36175He cum into Linkin''s room, an the Kernel ses,"Have you heerd the news, Boss?"
36175He went up, an ses he,''Who''s there?''
36175How can it be carried out?"
36175How do you feel?"
36175How many soldiers have you had?"
36175I did n''t say it out loud, but I sed, ses I,"Boss, will you let me see whether there ai n''t sumthin rong about that?"
36175I giv the tabel a rap with my hickory, and the Kernel stratened up jest like openin a jack nife, and ses he,"Was I asleep, Majer?"
36175I see the Kernel had on a high- pressure excitement, and ses I,"Hold on a minnit, Kernel, and tell me what on arth''s the matter?"
36175I told him that that was jist what Gineral Jackson always said--"Did he?"
36175I took hold of her, and felt jest like shakin her to pieces, wen I axed her, ses I,"Topsey, why do n''t you be good?"
36175If you will, it will be about as good a guide to you as ef I staid here all summer myself?"
36175Instead of a hotel, they telled us we must cook our own vitals, and what do you think they giv us?
36175Is it good?"
36175Is she hedin up stream or side- ways?
36175Jest a little while after breakfast, who should come in but Seward?
36175Jones, did you strike Tom Smith yesterday?''
36175McClellan bein compelled to retreat from Richmond, they all thought that France and England would interfere, and what was to be done?
36175Now which shall it be?
36175Now, that preserver saved your life, did n''t it?"
36175Now, the rale question is, Why have we failed?
36175Now, what is the cause of the failure?"
36175Now, what on arth am I to do?"
36175Now,"ses I,"ef L- i- n- k- i- n do n''t spell Linkin, what on arth does it spell?"
36175One day I went into the Kernel''s room, an seein he looked kinder blue about the gills, ses I,"Kernel, what''s the matter?"
36175One day the Kernel ses to me, ses he,"Majer, what do you think about McClellan''s new base on the Jeemes River?"
36175Presidint?"
36175Pretty soon a man cum along, an ses he,"Deacon, do n''t you know that the worst showers and hurry- canes we have always cum from the West?
36175Purty soon the Kernel''s eyes began to look wild, and ses he,"Majer, where do we land next?
36175Ses I,"Ai n''t it jist as easy to say that we''re goin on a military tower of obsevashin?"
36175Ses I,"Did he tech this?"
36175Ses I,"Did n''t you ever have a hole in that pocket for a day or two, and had to put your pocket- book in sum other?"
36175Ses I,"Did you kick em down stairs?"
36175Ses I,"Do n''t your Cabbynet agree in your policy?
36175Ses I,"How is that?"
36175Ses I,"Is Burnside whipped agin, or is Stonewall Jackson in our rear?"
36175Ses I,"Is that fair, Kernel, to burden posterity in that fashun?"
36175Ses I,"Is that it, Kernel?"
36175Ses I,"Kernel, ai n''t you gettin the ager?"
36175Ses I,"Kernel, do n''t you know that you said in your inaugerole that you had no rite to interfere with slavery, an that you did n''t intend to?"
36175Ses I,"Kernel, do n''t you know there is one way to get to Richmond that you ai n''t tried yet?"
36175Ses I,"Kernel, do you expect Dimmicrats are goin to support you on freein the niggers?"
36175Ses I,"Kernel, do you want me to help write your messige?"
36175Ses I,"Kernel, is black your favorite color?"
36175Ses I,"Kernel, what on arth do want of revolvers?"
36175Ses I,"Mr. Secketary, who is your engineer?"
36175Ses I,"What did you do with it then?"
36175Ses I,"What do n''t you see?"
36175Ses I,"What is the debt now?"
36175Ses I,"What is the matter, dear Topsey?"
36175Ses I,"What possesses you to act so?"
36175Ses I,"What was it?"
36175Ses I,"What was that?"
36175Ses I,"Who is me?
36175Ses I,"Why do n''t you change''em?"
36175Ses Linkin, ses he,"Majer, are you whistlin to keep your courage up?"
36175Ses Linkin,"What''s the matter, Majer?"
36175Ses he to me, kinder funnin me I thought, ses he,"Majer, will you make a bet with me?"
36175Ses he,"Did I, Majer?
36175Ses he,"Have I got the boot- jack?"
36175Ses he,"Have the rebils took Saint Lewis?"
36175Ses he,"How is that, Major?
36175Ses he,"How was that, Majer?"
36175Ses he,"How was that?"
36175Ses he,"Majer, did you ever hear of the story of a man who caught a panther by the tail?"
36175Ses he,"Majer, do you know why a man''s face is like the eend of an old- fashioned house?"
36175Ses he,"Majer, do you know why you and Seward and Stantin rollin me on the floor were like men spredin hay in a meadow?"
36175Ses he,"Majer, how do you know it was made for white men?"
36175Ses he,"Majer, what do you mean by edicated fools?"
36175Ses he,"Majer, which way does the shootin cum from?"
36175Ses he,"Majer, you''re rite, an what kin I do for you this mornin?"
36175Ses he,"Major, what would we do if Linkin dies, for he''s the only one of us left that the peeple''s got eny faith in at all?"
36175Ses he,"What is it?"
36175Ses he,"What on arth has that to do with the subjeck?"
36175Ses he,"What''s that?"
36175Ses he,"What''s your quandary?"
36175Ses he,"What?"
36175Ses he,"Why not, Majer?"
36175Ses the Deacon, ses he,"How was that, Majer?"
36175Ses the Kernel to me, the other day, ses he,"Majer, what do you think that military strutegy consists in?"
36175Ses the Kernel, ses he,"How much was that?"
36175Shall we whose harts are litened With Rye, and cake and wine, Shall we to Cuff and Dinah Give nought but crust and rine?
36175So he called the feller in putty bad close, who does chores around the White House, and asked him if he''d seen it?
36175So what''s to be done?"
36175Suppose they go thar?"
36175The Kernel looked at it very sharp, an ses he,"Majer, you ai nt going to give me rale fence to drink, are you?
36175The next mornin, when I went in the room where the Kernel was, ses he,"Majer, you look oncommon serious this mornin; what''s the matter?"
36175The question is, what is to be done?"
36175The very next day after the meeting, what do you think happened?
36175There''s Libery, how would that do, Major?"
36175Wat tho''the army hosses Die off for want of food?
36175We must take Richmond, an ai n''t we tried every way but this?
36175Wen I arriv, ses I,"Kernel, what''s the matter?"
36175Wen I handed them to the Kernel, ses he,"Majer, does Chase expect me to survive after studyin out these figgers?"
36175Wen I sed this, the Deacon knocked the ashes out of his pipe, an ses he,"Wal, Majer, wat do you think the war will amount to, enyhow?"
36175Wen I thought he was in purty good humor, ses I,"Kernel, why did you remove McClellin?"
36175Wen I went in, the Kernel had his cote off and his sleeves rolled up, an ses he,"Majer, do you know where I kin get a first- rate axe?"
36175Wen Linkin saw the name on the bottle,"Mr. Cotton, 306 Washington street, N.Y.,"ses he,"Major, do you think this is loyal wiskey?"
36175Wen he did speak, ses he,"Majer, what do these last words''in partickelar''mean?"
36175Wen he sed that I jumped rite up with my hickory, an ses I,"Ai n''t your name Salmon?"
36175Wen they heered that, it did n''t suit em at all, and a good meny yelled out,"Who are you?"
36175What is the cause of it?
36175What is the use of a President when the ballot- box ai nt of half so much account as the cartridge- box?
36175What is the use of a President when there''s a standin army?
36175What is to be done with''em?
36175What on arth can it be?
36175What on arth makes you sleep,"ses I,"rite in the middle of the day?"
36175What on arth will we do?"
36175What was I to do?
36175What was it?"
36175When I sed this, Stantin, who is quick as a flash, jumped up, an ses he,"Majer, do you mean to say that we are devils tryin to catch the South?"
36175When I went in, ses I,"''Kiah, what on airth is the matter?"
36175While it was goin down, you looked kinder anxious at Chase, and ses you,''Chase, think it will stay down?''
36175Wot tho''the Nor''-West breezes Blow sum o''er Georgetown hill, And likewise also freezes The troops at Turner''s Mill?
36175Wot tho''the Yankee nashin Pores out the warlike flud, And sogers of all stashin Are stashined in the mud?
36175Wot tho''the sly contracters Defraud us rite and left, And Uncle Sam''s old stockin''Of all his cash is reft?
36175Wot tho''the taxis plague us, And heeps of corn must spile, Wile poor folks three times over Their coffee- grounds must bile?
36175Would n''t it hev made a sensashin?"
36175_ To the Editers of The Cawcashin_: SURS:--Didn''t I tell you that, as soon as I got here, I would straiten things out?
36175ses he,"jest read that, Majer, and tell me whether you do n''t think that that infernal cuss, Stantin, ought to be kicked out of the Cabinet?"
33335''Is_ that_ so?'' 33335 ''Not Barnett Lenine used to was November& Lenine in the neckwear business?''
33335''Should I also ask''em if spies gets paid in America the same like stomach specialists in Germany? 33335 ''Then what''s the matter you ai n''t eating?''
33335''Well, what is he going to do''way out there in Tobolsk?'' 33335 ''Well, why not?''
33335''What Swede?'' 33335 ''Why, what do you think Bolo is?''
33335''_ Aber_ what shall I say to her if she rings up again?'' 33335 180"For instance, who is it that says whole- wheat bread irritates the lining from the elementry canal?
33335Ai n''t Hindenberg also a real general?
33335Ai n''t it terrible the way you could n''t buy no sugar in New York, nowadays, Mawruss?
33335Ai n''t there?
33335Also inartistic?
33335And after all, what good did it done him?
33335And as much as you sympathize with a lunatic, you ca n''t have him going around loose, Abe,Morris said,"so what are we going to do about it?"
33335And can you imagine when such a crook_ in_-law is also your biggest competitor? 33335 And how could you expect to get from people like that an opinion which ai n''t on the bias?"
33335And how long is this going to take?
33335And how soon do you think_ that_ will happen?
33335And in the mean time, Mawruss,Abe said,"what''s going to happen to us?"
33335And people is paying forty dollars an orchestra seat to hear a woman gargle?
33335And such people calls themselves Americans?
33335And supposing he finds such a remark in a letter from a German diplomat to the Kaiser, Abe?
33335And what do they lay the Swedish minister''s behavior to, Abe?
33335And what has all this got to do with setting the clock ahead one hour in summer, Abe, which was what you was talking about in the first place?
33335And when did they find_ that_ out, Abe?
33335And where does Mr. Wilson get off in this coalition business?
33335And who told_ you_ all this, Abe?
33335But a statement was given out by Major Higginson that--"Who''s Major Higginson?
33335But do n''t you suppose that lazy people read the newspapers the same like anybody else, Abe?
33335But do n''t you think in a great number of cases, Mawruss, beer is drunk to squench thirst?
33335But do them other German newspapers get paid by the German government for reprinting Mr. Ridder''s articles?
33335But if everybody else followed the same plan, Mawruss,Abe commented,"what show is going to run three months?"
33335But in that case, how many Liberty Bonds could the diamond merchant, the automobile- manufacturer, or the furrier buy?
33335But this is a democracy, Abe,Morris said,"so who cares if he is in Society or not?"
33335But what I do n''t understand is: where does Lord Northcliff come in to be neglecting his newspapers the way he does?
33335But why should the grand jury investigate only the advertising? 33335 But you do n''t mean to tell me that the people which stands up down- stairs and buys seats in the gallery is also looking for publicity?"
33335But you do n''t think anything like that would happen to our Society fellers, Mawruss?
33335Can you imagine how much money one of them aviators over in the old country ought to draw under such a wage scale?
33335Can you imagine the way the Kaiser feels?
33335Could n''t a street be lighted up and still be respectable?
33335Did I say he did n''t?
33335Did I say it was n''t?
33335Did I say it was n''t?
33335Did I say it was n''t?
33335Did I say they did?
33335Did n''t you know that the Czar''s wife is the Kaiser''s mother''s sister''s daughter?
33335Did the Czar marry into such a family?
33335Did you see on the front page of all the newspapers this morning where Klaw& Erlanger has had another split with the Shuberts, Mawruss?
33335Do you mean to say that women not having the vote puts our government in the same class with Germany?
33335Do you mean to say there''s a death- bed scene in every one of them operas?
33335Do you suppose for one moment that the Kaiser had got so much as an inkling that they were going to elect a mayor in New York? 33335 Even when we are only_ talking_ about food you could n''t restrain yourself, so what must it be like when you''ve got the food actually on the table?
33335Even when your wife''s relations are honest, what_ is_ it?
33335Has the advertising business also been affected by the war?
33335How could a feller like you become a Socialist? 33335 How much do you think a Prime Minister draws, Mawruss-- a million a week?"
33335If you would throw a ball up in the air, why does it come down?
33335Is he an ambassador or something?
33335Is that so?
33335Is the Kaiser learning something from what they done to the Czar?
33335Is this a time to read about baseball?
33335It seems to me that if we saw we could n''t accomplish nothing by going on fighting, Mawruss, we''d stop, ai n''t it?
33335Me and Feigenbaum?
33335Not even when the facts is against them?
33335Say, looky here, Mawruss,Abe retorted,"are we living in Germany or America?
33335Say, looky here,Morris said,"let me alone, will you?
33335Since when did I kick that we should n''t do no advertising?
33335So how could you blame a Prime Minister if he did n''t suspect what Germany was up to when she bought that sand- bank?
33335Stomach trouble?
33335Suppose they are war- times,Abe retorted,"must everybody act like they had diabetes?
33335Tell me, Abe,Morris asked,"what do you think the laws of gravity is, anyhow?
33335The people knows that--"Who is saying anything about the people?
33335The poor feller had to tell''em something, did n''t he? 33335 Then it''s your idea that on account of the war people should eat only them foods which they do n''t like?"
33335Then what does she go on fighting for?
33335Then what is your idee of a good show, anyway?
33335Then why do n''t the feller which runs the orchestra let her keep it up?
33335Then why knock the feller?
33335Then you ai n''t in favor that people should give their money to the Red Cross?
33335Well, I was right, was n''t I?
33335Well, ai n''t it?
33335Well, ai n''t it?
33335Well, how are all them loafers going to buy Liberty Bonds if they would n''t get their money that way?
33335Well, how did he find the national currency, Abe?
33335Well, if this here Czernin ai n''t the broker representing Austria and Germany, what is he? 33335 Well, what is an expert to do, Abe?"
33335Well, what is the use of being in Society if you could n''t rub it in on people who ai n''t?
33335Well, what''s the difference?
33335Well, what_ did_ he break it on, then?
33335Well, why did n''t the Shipping Commission build a sample ship from yellow pine?
33335Well, you do n''t think this here Garfield would close up the country for five days unless it would be necessary, ai n''t it?
33335What are you talking about-- brokers?
33335What are you trying to tell me-- that such a newspaper would be allowed to exist in Berlin, Germany?
33335What are you worrying your head about what they put in the papers?
33335What big battle was that, Mawruss?
33335What difference does that make?
33335What do you mean-- a feller like me?
33335What do you mean-- baseball?
33335What do you mean-- down to sixty- eight degrees?
33335What do you mean-- drown her out before she starts?
33335What do you mean-- natural causes?
33335What do you mean-- nowadays?
33335What do you mean-- put them wise?
33335What do you mean-- the Constitution protects them?
33335What do you mean--_could_ of got?
33335What do you mean--_have_ stomach trouble?
33335What do you think-- a New York grand jury has got nothing else to investigate for the rest of the twentieth century except one war bazaar?
33335What does a first- class A- number- one lawyer like Root care about facts if they ai n''t in his favor?
33335What does it mean then?
33335What for?
33335What is that?
33335What is the use of talking pipe dreams?
33335What''s that?
33335What''s the matter with him?
33335Whereas, when you come away from one of them musical pieces, what do you have to show for it, Abe?
33335Who is Sophia?
33335Who said he is knocking plays, Mawruss?
33335Why do n''t he let the shipping- clerk do up the packing- cases?
33335Why do n''t they call it Lillian Russell and be done with it?
33335Why not?
33335Why not?
33335Why so?
33335Why_ Southern_ cooking?
33335Yes?
33335You do n''t mean we should put through that law for the three brightest men in the country to run it?
33335You mean to say that_ again_ the people do n''t begin to realize we are at war?
33335You mean to say we allow these here fellers to get up on soap- boxes and say such things like that?
33335_ Aber_ do n''t you think that a face massage is its own punishment, Abe?
33335_ Aber_ what about light wines?
33335_ Aber_ what good would that do them?
33335_ Aber_ what is the difference between a professional expert and a professional cricket,_ anyway_?
33335_ Also_ a relative of the Kaiser?
33335''Ai n''t it cooked right?''
33335''Here under date July second, nineteen sixteen, it stand an item: To blowing up munitions plant$ 10,000 Who did you get to do it?

47400Well, one day at dinner, Jacky had only had once of meat, but he''d two helps of pood;""Of what?"
47400What account was taken of the roadside tent- holders, and the number of the families of these real"potwallopers?"
47400What answer could I make?
