Unless a man is out- and-out virtuous he is sub-vicious. Virtue is, as it were, the repose of sleep or death. Vice is the awakening to the knowledge of good and evil without which there is no life worthy of the name.

"Now, speaking as one gentleman to another, do you happen to know where we can get a hand-out?" "'And-out?" inquired the puzzled negro. "Yes; a lunch.
