Book Description

Excerpt from The St. Joseph's Collegian, Vol. 20: December 1931 Mr. Adair furiously elbowed his way through the crowd of Christmas shoppers. Frightfully pre occupied, he made fierce grimaces, muttered under his breath, clenched and unclenched his fists. Oh no hat and no light headed woman who knew nothing of teaching school could make a fool of him. He would have his. Revenge; upon the hat now, upon the woman later. Oh! He couldn't wait until he got hold of that hat. How he would crush it, stomp on it, tear it, burn it! It was outrageous, an insult to every cultured taste, a mockery of true Christmas sentiment. What idiotic shop-keeper had the brass to display that ridiculous red and white stove-pipe hat! Was the man a fool, or was he accustomed to cater to such freakish morons as might be fascinated by such a monstrosity? Aversion for the hat almost overwhelmed Mr. Adair when he first caught sight of it this morning. Like a haunting night-mare the thing tormented him. On the head of every person with whom he came in contact he pictured that hat. He had fleet ing glimpses of himself arrayed in it; and in his misery a woman must drive him to indiscretion, and that hat completed his humiliation. Fiercely his lip curled in that scornful smile that marks a man about to taste revenge; he strode for the entrance of the shop in which the hat had been displayed. Suddenly he stiffened, his eyes bulged, he gasped. The hat was gone! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description

Excerpt from The St. Joseph's Collegian, Vol. 20: February 15, 1932 Even in Washington's circle of associates there was disagreement. Hamilton and Jefferson each were fighting for the supremacy of the classes they respectively represented. It seems that the chief executive alone preserved a sacred regard for pub lic justice. The entire personnel of the first ad ministration had to be induced to give over their local prejudices; from this government Washington had literally to wring the mutual concessions requisite for the general prosperity of the country. And in the end he succeeded. The government is not its form, not its constitution, not the high sounding pa per enunciating rights and principles, but the man at the head. If there is no man at the helm, there is no government. There Qmay be an elaborate scheme 'of bureaus and departments, but that is only a front concealing the active forces, forces that usually won't bear exposure. Today we need a Washington, a one man band, a government. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description

Excerpt from The St. Joseph's Collegian, Vol. 20: June 7, 1932 Within the shadows of a quiet chamber, and beside a. Trundle bed, a child is saying his evening prayers. If one could hear those prayers as the Almighty Father heard them, perhaps they would sound something like this: Oh God, bless my father and mother and bless me; help me to become a bulwark of, truth - also God, protect me from the Pope. After his simple prayer was done, the delicate boy leaped into his bed to fall asleep and to dream of God with His glorious angels.

Book Description

Excerpt from The St. Joseph's Collegian, Vol. 5: March 1899 These are but a few instances, still they serve to show what way the wind blows. Every writer with what seems to him a new idea looks to the novel for an introduction to the public, because a novel from its nature and even from its name is expected to contain something new, startling, and outside the usual experience of man in a normal condition. What pleases us in Vanity Fair but the scintillating wickedness of Becky Sharp? There are no possibilities in Amelia. Anyone who has read the Waverly novels will remember Scott's pusillanimous heroes, and heroes are generally supposed to be the exponents of virtue. Abnormal characters always show well in a novel. The modern psychological novel is a rich proof that the novel that wins favor presses the bizarre into service.

Book Description

Excerpt from The St. Joseph's Collegian, Vol. 20: October 1931 But fortune made a bad move at her game during the following ball season, and Babe fell into a slump. Evidently someone had drilled his bat full of holes. Like the mighty Qasfey, he would strike out at critical moments. Slowly, but steadily, he was pushed from his throne. The crowds that formerly stampeded in an_effort to secure his autograph, now derided him with boohs and take-him-outs. Was he subject to Damoclean' shivers, or was fortune fumbling at her game in his case? At any rate Babe began to realize how fickle and cruel is the world's praise. The king of swat however, could not be dis couraged by a bad break. He knew that life had cures for failures. He squared his shoulders, worked hard and vindicated the right to his. Title. Some years after his early triumph, he smashed his pre vious record without asking fortune's yes or no. The resolve that grows out of energy and courage did thatfor him what fortune failed to do; and, in con sequence, as long as the national game of baseball lives, the name of Babe Ruth will be linked to it as a token of splendid achievement. Glittering objects attract the eye of grown-ups as well as of children - why should they not be in special favor as pawns on the chessboardof fortune? Perhaps the president of a country is a gewgaw that engages 'the fancy of fortune more than do kings and horses. This would seem to be a fact when con templating the career of President Hoover. During the world-war he enjoyed the advantages of a lucky move when he came to the fore by solving many intricate economic problems. Later, through his re markably efficient relief work for the Mississippi flood sufferers he curried so much popular favor that the Republican Convention at Kansas City, which gave' him the nomination for the highest office in the land, could not be anything more than a waste of time and money. Truly it seemed that the presi dential campaign was likewise a needless expenditure, for he rumbled into the White House on the peak of an electoral majority - the greatest in the history of the United States. Naturally, when Hoover' took the presidential oath on that cold, rainy day, March 4, 1929, wonderful-deeds for the good'of the country and halcyon days were confidently expected; What ever ailment beset the government orafflicted the people would surely, as was widely supposed, find its remedy at the hands of this superman.

Book Description

Excerpt from St. Joseph's Collegian, Vol. 12: November, 1905 He had always believed that his political opponents were determined to support the Confederacy by refusing to sup ply troops for the Federal government; and the meeting of a hostile legislature in 1863, when the Republicans aban doued the legislature leaving his opponents without a quo rum, brought matters to a crisis. The governor wished to borrow money on his own authority, but the Democratic attorney general and the state Supreme Court held that this was illegal. The indomitable Morton, however, borrowed money on his own personal responsibility and managed the government without legislature. For months he conducted the government without legal authority; still he did it with such honesty and ability, that, instead of receiving the censure of the people, he merited their applause.

Book Description

Excerpt from The St. Joseph's Collegian, Vol. 20: May 10, 1932 From his, surroundings of corn-stalk columns where his work was now finished, Brumidi advanced among the marble columns in the upper halls of the Capitol Building. Here he determined to set an example of art to America such as would be dif* ficult to surpass. With what success he carried out his determination can be seen at the present day. No one in all the following years has found it pos sible to equal the lofty'flight of artistic genius that visualized itself in frescoes that will be the boast of America for all future times. His stupendous work, The Apotheosis of Washington, painted in the top of the dome of the Capitol, a work which cost him ten years of hard labor, is 'a fitting climax to all other paintings that decorate this building coming from his masterful hand. For those who are still under the impression that in the field of art America has nothing superior to buffaloes, cyclones, and Walt Whitman's poems, a glance at this superb painting ought to rectify their impression.

Book Description

Excerpt from The St. Joseph's Collegian, Vol. 20: March 15, 1932 The sixteenth century witnessed a poet, who, though innocent of his profound insight and great prophetic powers, foretold the political turmoil and social confusion that vexed the two 'last decades of the first part of the twentieth century. The process of vexing still goes on, and so does the truth 'of the prophecy. Could a better characterization of these times be sketched by any writer at present with the same degree of penetration and balanced judgment than does the Italian Swift, Ariosto, in his satiric Orlando Furioso With keen criticism he cuts into' the world of his day, which he considered mad, and flatters its frivolity with'humorous banter, quite as the world even now, loves to be flattered. The noble knight, whom Ariosto portrays. As losing his wits for nothing more than that his lady-love is drawn away from him by the charms of a roi'stering menial, very properly illustrates the loss of wit on' the part of the Big Fellows in every country of the world at present and that for no other reason than that one is afraid that the other will, in a menial way, beat him at his own game. Meanwhile the world continues sick and suffering. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
