THINKING ALOUD.
Lord Haldane loquitur.
"Tired of laborious days and nights
Spent on the intellectual heights,
I long to raise and educate
The masters of the future State.
Besides, the people in the plains
Are lamentably short of brains,
And I have even more than Keynes.
Already in The Herald's page
Am I acclaimed as seer and sage;
Mine be it then to teach my neighbour
To quit the lowly rut of Labour,
And scale the heights of Pisgah, Nebo,
Or some equivalent gazebo,
For even Labour must afford
To keep one competent Law Lord."
"WAR CRIMINALS DEMAND TO BE SUSPENDED."—Evening Paper.
Too good to be true.
