...Kansas City, early in the week, passed a more cheerful figure than either the Beaver Man or the Modern Cincinnatus. This one, swart, short, mustachioed, had played a different game from theirs, a waiting game. Redskin ancestors on his grandmother's side had doubtless played the same game often. Out hunting with other braves, a good plan had been to let the others stalk, and perhaps frighten, the deer, which then would come along the runway where an artful man sat ready. The Indian-blooded Senator from Kansas had seen the waiting game work well on race tracks...
...dish, Dr. Francis and six of his assistants were infected. They recovered, having learned more about the strange malady. It is a slow fever with all the attendant aches, pains, chills, prostration, incapacitating the victim for months. Before achieving the dignity of a disease with a name, it had often been confused with typhoid because the germ resembles typhoid bacillus.

But the echoes are measured and stressed in a grand symphony of discord for which the resolving chord is equality of income. The bizarre title of the composition is calculated to attract male attention...
...choice is between obvious right and wrong. Such a choice would be easy. In the maze of life, however, the conditions are much more insidious. The alternatives are by no means always a rugged but righteous road that winds upward, and a pleasant way leading surely to ultimate perdition. Often the paths do not seem very different, or to diverge much; and a clear vision is required to see whiter they tend Nor does a choice settle the destination, for there are by ways to return to the true road, arduous, no doubt, but passable...
