...known to TIME merely as "one" Original Subscriber Brown. But I consider myself a "potent" cover-to-cover reader. Therefore, I rise to hail as "able" and soon to become "famed" The Voter's Dream cartoon in this week's TIME. Verily Cartoonist Barbour has drawn the "tycoon" of cartoons! To him "all praise," and to rival cartoonists a "thoroughgoing rebuke." My "shrewd" purpose in writing this letter is to offer you $100 for the original of The Voter's Dream. I "view with alarm" the possibility that some other subscriber may offer you more...
...Albert Hall, with an air of purposing to break up the revival. The dread potency of Bishop White, when aroused against another female, may be judged from her scathing criticisms of the Church of Mary Baker Eddy: "The teachings of the so-called Christian Science Church . . . have drawn multitudes from the orthodox faith, and blasted their hopes of heaven! ...

Over Washington she passed and was eyed by President Coolidge, which was properly reported in boxed press notices. Manhattan viewers had themselves thrilled to vicarious trans-Atlantic flying. Baltimore loomed and was drawn away from Philadelphia and its identifying rivers, the Schuylkill and the Delaware, guided the ship toward Trenton. With Commander Rosendahl at the bridge, familiar upper-New Jersey hillets and meadows revolved like a slow treadmill, until the heterogeneous mass of the Manhattan topography was seen waiting. Manhattan-on-the-roof...
...years past it has been the custom, after Navy Games, to meet the returning team at the station. There is an old stage-coach at the Point that has a history. The Corps has always taken it to the station and drawn it back by hand laden with the battered team. The announcement of the new captain has always been made from its top by the captain of the preceding year. Since I have been here. I have never seen a defeated team drawn up the hill. Now Navy Games are a thing of the past, for a time...
