The Other Side

“Did you ever get into Brown’s confidence?”

“Oh, yes; it was costly, too.”

“What was costly?”

“To get out.”—Yonkers Herald.

Tips for Authors

An author wrote a little book,
Which started quite a quarrel;
The folk who read it frowned on it
And said it was immoral.

They bade him write a proper screed,
He said that he would try it;
He did. They found no fault with it,
And neither did they buy it.
