SOMETHING NEW by Pelham Grenville Wodehouse CHAPTER I The sunshine of a fair Spring morning fell graciously on London town. Out in Piccadilly its heartening warmth seemed to infuse into traffic and pedestrians alike a novel jauntiness, so that bus drivers jested and even the lips of chauffeurs uncurled into not unkindly smiles. Policemen whistled at their posts–clerks, on their way to work; beggars approached the task of trying to persuade perfect strangers to bear the burden of their maintenance with that optimistic vim which makes all the difference....

THANKFUL’S INHERITANCE by Joseph C. Lincoln CHAPTER I The road from Wellmouth Centre to East Wellmouth is not a good one; even in dry weather and daylight it is not that. For the first two miles it winds and twists its sandy way over bare hills, with cranberry swamps and marshy ponds in the hollows between. Then it enters upon a three-mile stretch bordered with scrubby pines and bayberry thickets, climbing at last a final hill to emerge upon the bluff with the ocean at its foot....

A letter or postcard will have the most impact. A letter is better than a fax, a fax is better than a phone call, and a phone call is better than an e-mail. You should often send your letter or fax to the Chairman of each Judiciary committee in Congress. Their addresses are: Senator Orrin Hatch, ChairmanCommittee on the JudiciaryDirksen Senate Office Building, Room 224 Washington, DC 20510-6275telephone – 202-224-5225fax – 202-224-9102 Henry Hyde, ChairmanCommittee on the JudiciaryRayburn House Office Building, Room 2138 Washington, DC 20515-6216telephone – 202-225-3951fax – 202-225-7682 The following also works if you don’t want to keep all listings: Send letters to each of your Senators and your Representative at: Senator (name)United States CongressWashington, DC 20510 Representative (name)United States CongressWashington, DC 20515 Send a letter to Newt Gingrich at: Representative Newt GingrichRayburn House Office Building, Room 2428 Washington, DC 20515georgia6@hr....

MY FIRST STAGE At last the tea came up, and soWith that our tongues began to go.Now in that house you’re sure of knowing The smallest scrap of news that’s going. We find it there the wisest wayTo take some care of what we say.RECREATION. JANE TAYLOR I was born on the 2nd September, 1886, in a small, dull, country town. When I say the town was dull, I mean, of course, that the inhabitants were unenterprising, for in itself Muddleton was a picturesque place, and though it laboured under the usual disadvantage of a dearth of bachelors and a superfluity of spinsters, it might have been pleasant enough had it not been a favourite resort for my kith and kin....

THE BRIDE OF DREAMS BYFREDERIK VAN EEDEN AUTHORIZED TRANSLATION BYMELLIE VON AUW THE-PLIMPTON-PRESSNORWOOD-MASS-U-S-A I As one approaches my little city from the sea on a summer’s day, one sees only the tall, round clump of trees on the ramparts and, overtopping it, the old bell-tower with its fantastically shaped and ornamented stories and dome-top of deep cobalt blue. The land to either side is barely visible, and the green foliage flooded with pale sunshine seems to drift in the sun-mist on the grayish yellow waters....

1609 A LOVER’S COMPLAINT by William Shakespeare From off a hill whose concave womb reworded A plaintful story from a sist’ring vale, My spirits t’attend this double voice accorded, And down I laid to list the sad-tuned tale, Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Tearing of papers, breaking rings atwain, Storming her world with sorrow’s wind and rain. Upon her head a platted hive of straw, Which fortified her visage from the sun, Whereon the thought might think sometime it saw The carcase of a beauty spent and done....

THE DUKE OF STOCKBRIDGEA ROMANCE OF SHAYS’ REBELLION BY EDWARD BELLAMY CHAPTER FIRST THE MARCH OF THE MINUTE MEN The first beams of the sun of August 17, 1777, were glancing down the long valley, which opening to the East, lets in the early rays of morning, upon the village of Stockbridge. Then, as now, the Housatonic crept still and darkling around the beetling base of Fisher’s Nest, and in the meadows laughed above its pebbly shoals, embracing the verdant fields with many a loving curve....
