Show D00LEY ON SPIRIT OF THE SEASON. As Mr. Dooley sums up the Christmas season: "Well, 'tis a grand peeryod annyhow. I begin to see th' effects iv it already. Th' amount iv amy-able amy-able grinning has already increased fifty per cent. Th' stores are brightenin' up. I see me frinds goin' home with bundles undher their overcoats. Even old Grogan give me a pleasant bow this mornin'. He has sint wurrud to his 'deposytors that they can dhraw out their money if they'll promise to -spind it on presents an' not on household expinses or other base luxuries. An' as f'r th' children, Christmas has been comin' f'r about two'months f'r thim. an' comin' sthronger an' shinin' in their cheerful, hopeful, avaricious little faces. "So matter mat-ter what kind iv a Christmas this is f'r annybody else, it'll be a good wan f'r th' little wans. There niver was a bad wan f'r thim." |
