Show - A Dodger A politician, accused of graft, had dodged a certain question, and Senator Sena-tor Borah said at a dinner In Washington Wash-ington : "He reminds me of that grand war horse, De Lancey Locust. De Lancey Locust, you know, held down a perilous peril-ous position at the Uitz in Taris during dur-ing the World war, and he never deserted de-serted his post of danger except to sally fearlessly in his governmental limousine to the Riviera and Biarritz in the season. Hence he climbed up fast and high. "'Father,' his little son said to him the other day, 'what did you do in the World war?' " 'Don't ask such silly questions,' said De Lancey In a stern voice. 'Just keep on cleaning my medals and be quiet.' " |
