...Tread softly and carry a big stick," were his first instructions, for the inmates were desperate men, and their treatment was desperate too. Total silence was enforced, the work-gang shuffled from & back to their cells. But it was from these same creatures who once were men, Old Chappleau at Clinton, and Mike the Rat Catcher later on, that Warden Lawes learned new penological lessons behind the parallel bars...
...logs in Patman's district. And snuff (between lower lip and teeth, perhaps Levi Garett's, perhaps someones else) is not uncommon. Some of we wage earning Texans view Ambassador Mellon's "Big Business War Et al," not with alarm but with interest. Politically ambitious Texans tread lightly on the subject until after the vote is counted. For, Mr. Mellon is, in part, responsible for the payment of more wages, more taxes and more commissions in Texas than any other three men in Congress.

...Vassili Constantinovitch Blucher. Commander-in-chief of the Soviet Far Eastern Army, began to bristle. Five thousand miles from Dictator Stalin, in Khabarovsk, Siberia (which is only 480 miles from Vladivostok) bristling Commander Blucher shouted at his Red Soldiers: "We won't permit any White Guard imperialistic rascals to tread upon our socialistic soil with their dirty feet!

Ireland, the home of the mystic Celt, and the fearsome Gael has always lured the adventurous. H. A. Jones is unquestionably adventurous. To have written plays during the 19th and 20th centuries with the drama at its lowest ebb, takes courage. To be mistaken for Eugene O'Neill or confused with...
...drivel for the unmitigated pleasure of Freshmen while they wait for their questionable eggs at the Union. There is something revolting about the eternal, saccharine romance he spows forth. He is so tired of strewing roses from the CRIMSON Building to Sever 11 for English or Greek professors to tread upon as they go to deliver a lecture on the "Use of the Infinitive in Chaucer," or "The Place of the Hammer in the Building of the Wooden Horse." It requires all his alchemy to turn such prosey matter into palatable pap for the undergraduate. The sweet, sad music...
