History
Anecdotes of the great war, gathered from European sources
World War, 1914-1918 -- Humor, caricatures, etc.
(Edited by Carleton B. Case.) A symposium of the various ancient and
modern methods, as practiced by Arab Seers and Sibyls and the Romany
Gypsies, with plain examples and simple instructions that enable anyone
to acquire the art with ease. Divination by cards nowadays is chiefly
employed for amusement and pastime, for entertaining one’s self or
one’s company; at church fairs, charity bazars and the like. This book
supplies all the data for the complete mastery of this interesting
science, and is the only one in the English language that is free from
technical errors. Just out.
A LITTLE NONSENSE
BY CARLETON B. CASE
=160 Pages Paper Covers Price 30 cents.=
A book of the best current wit, culled from European and American
sources; all clean and laughable; due to find a place in every home
where mirth is welcome and happiness has its habitat. Nobody knows who
wrote
“A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men,”
but that couplet inspired our title. It is a collection of
smile-provokers for “the wisest men,” and women, and we believe you’ll
like it. There are bits of Irish anecdote in places, but most of the
fun is other than Hibernian, and all of it is good.
