She had learnt this in the country when she had been put out to nurse, and upon every occasion she danced it, finishing always with this couplet: Mon p'tit ventr' ejouis toi Tout ce ze gagn' est pou' toi.... Nothing could be more comic than this chubby child, with her serious air.
From the moment Representative Pou in opening the debate spoke of the nation-wide request for the committee, and the President's sanction of the committee, the accusations and counter- accusations concerning the wisdom of appointing it in the face of the pickets were many and animated. Mr. Meeker of Missouri, Democrat, protested against Congress "yielding to the nagging of a certain group." Mr.
He bowed, and a pleasant smile relaxed his tired face. "Pardon, monsieur," he answered, "but you make the usual mistake in my title. If I were only 'the King of Belgium, you see, I should have but a poor kingdom now only this narrow strip of earth, perhaps four hundred square miles of debris, just a 'pou sto, a place to stand, enough to fight on, and if need be to die in."

The resolution was sponsored by Representative Pou, Chairman of the Rules Committee and Administration leader, himself an anti- suffragist.

He, too, have child brain, and it is of the child to do what he have done. The little bird, the little fish, the little animal learn not by principle, but empirically. And when he learn to do, then there is to him the ground to start from to do more. 'Dos pou sto, said Archimedes. 'Give me a fulcrum, and I shall move the world!

She ran. "Faster!" She ran faster. "Run!" "Run!" "Run, Clemence! Ha, ha, ha!" It was so funny to see her scuttling and tripping and stumbling. "Courri! courri, Clemence! c'est pou to' vie! ha, ha, ha "
On the other hand, when once he had embraced the new ideas, Knox's faith in them, or in his own form of them, was firm as the round world, made so fast that it cannot be moved. He had now a pou sto, whence he could, and did, move the world of human affairs. A faith not to be shaken, and enormous energy were the essential attributes of the Reformer.
Mount Kinneo is midway up the lake, on the east. It is the show-piece of the region, the best they can do for a precipice, and really admirably done. Kinneo is a solid mass of purple flint rising seven hundred feet upright from the water. By the side of this block could some Archimedes appear, armed with a suitable "pou stô" and a mallet heavy enough, he might strike fire to the world.
