IS IT LATIN?
The following cryptic notice was posted recently on the green baize notice-board of a West-End Club:—
O nec ango in ab illi
Ardor pyram id contestata
Potor ac an non.
Si deis puto nat times
Ora res tu sed.
For some time its message was a mystery, until the sharp eyes of a member deciphered in what seemed to be real Latin, and was made up of Latin words, this English sentence, appropriate to the place:—“One can go in a billiard or pyramid contest at a pot or a cannon. Side is put on at times, or a rest used.”
FOR THE CHILDREN
A QUESTION
How much wood would a wood-chuck chuck,
If a wood-chuck could chuck wood?
THE REPLY
The wood that a wood-chuck would chuck
Is the wood that a wood chuck could chuck,
If the wood-chuck that could chuck would chuck,
Or a wood-chuck could chuck wood!
