“All my life I have heard of, admired, and witnessed the fine marksmanship of the South in its peaceful conflicts in the tobacco-chewing regions. But in my hotel a surprise awaited me. There were twelve bright, new, imposing, capacious brass cuspidors in the great lobby, tall enough to be called urns and so wide-mouthed that the crack pitcher of a lady baseball team should have been able to throw a ball into one of them at five paces distant. But, although a terrible battle had raged and was still raging, the enemy had not suffered. Bright, new, imposing, capacious, untouched, they stood. But, shades of Jefferson Brick! the tile floor – the beautiful tile floor! I could not avoid thinking of the battle of Nashville, and trying to draw, as is my foolish habit, some deductions about hereditary marksmanship.”
Yes, I watched Romper Room. Live. They don’t call me “The Old Wolf” for nothing. On that subject, I always wondered if Do Bee and Don’t Bee were ripped from Goofus and Gallant, which first appeared five years before Romper Room began.

The pictures that I have seen of those islands are too beautiful to be believed. I wonder how long they have been that way.
