Their recollection's shady--
Did JOHN'S artistic heyday
Mean costumes for _The Lady_
Or things for _Comic Cuts?_

When HALL CAINE rules a nation
As Superman of Man,
His subjects will assure us
In daily dance and chorus:
"Ere HALL presided o'er us,
Men read him as they ran.
For once his circulation
Spread over Seven Seas."
Yet memory by chance errs
In these ecstatic dancers--
Oh, did he edit _Answers_,
Or write "Callisthenes"?

"But the most pressing of all the questions with which the Peace
Congress has to deal is the settlement of terms of peace with
Germany."--_Nottingham Guardian_.
