...curiously like her husband, from whom she has been growing apart, when he was younger. The association grows stronger. When Martin, appearing with milk on his mouth, solemnly reminds her that it is a sign someone will kiss him before morning, Phyllis volunteers. "Sometime later," begs Martin, "when you tuck me in bed.'' Those who know their Morley will recall that this tryst is forestalled by the fatal accident to Phyllis' children and by the importunities of Joyce, who has not grown up either and who persuades Martin to go away before something dreadful happens. James Bell...
Some of the tales that will strike a Western eye: the Bunyanesque vicissitudes of the stout-hearted Ling Ch'ung; the Decameronish deception of Wu the Elder by his wicked wife and the bawdy old woman; the Tattooed Priest, a kind of Friar Tuck of the outlaws; the robbers' rescue of the youth about to be executed. Though some of the incidents would never have passed Queen Victoria (in the 18th Century Shui Hu Chuan was banned in China as "licentious") they are narrated always with polite decency...
...last week stepped a round-faced, grey-haired, solid-shouldered man to become Mayor of Minneapolis. He was Alexander Gilberg ("Buzz") Bainbridge, a political novice, looking older and wiser than his 47 years. As a Republican he had just defeated Farmer-Laborite Mayor William A.

Jolly John's party has the city in its bag but only a slim margin of control on the Board of Aldermen, whose president, Harrie Satchells, is after the mayoralty. The campaign is a humdinger, nip & tuck all the way. When Satchells at one meeting produces an inflated rubber cartoon of Holtsapple and lets the air out as he asks it embarrassing questions, he is one up. Jolly John (aping Big Bill Thompson's famed performances with jackasses et al.) evens things up by leading...
...took his fever. It was normal. I fixed the Senator some orange juice. I put it in bathroom to keep it from spilling. He was like a baby-wanted to go sleep. He turned over in bed once. I tuck him in. I went to sleep. I knew nothing-then the light started in the window. I look in his bed. He is not there. I thought he was in bathroom and call like this, Who-ooo-ooo Tom! Whoooo, Tom! He did not answer. I jump out of my bed. When I did I saw something on the floor...
