In dedicating her autobiography to her husband, Mrs. Asquith quotes
Epictetus: "Have you not received powers, to the limit of which you will
bear all that befalls? Have you not received magnanimity? Have you not
received courage? Have you not received endurance?" Mr. Christopher
Morley thinks the gentleman needs them, but we are not so sure. It is
said that when Margot mentioned to him the large sum she was to receive
for the book, Mr. Asquith remarked, "I hope, my dear, that it isn't
worth it."

WHY THE DOG LEFT TOWN.

[From the Newton, Ia., News, Dec. 2.]

Warning--A resident of North Newton went home from work Saturday night
and as he went in the front door a man went out the back door. This
party had better leave town, for I know who he is and am after him.

[From the same paper, Dec. 5.]

I have since discovered that it was a neighbor's dog that bounded out of
the back door as I came in the front door the other night. My wife had
gone to a neighbor's and left the back door ajar, hence a big dog had no
trouble getting in.
