"I mean some one who is a firebug!" "Oh, come now," teased Louise. "I don't believe you are as sensational as that, Grace. Firebugs don't grow in the ocean, like crabs. Just see that funny crab trying to get in your slipper. You don't suppose he can write notes, and start fires, do you?"

"And you," she teased, "are you always realizing what a wonderful man you are?" He cried with his sunny boldness: "Why not? It's faith in oneself and one's destiny that gets things done." The drill hall was full.

When one comes to speak of Faust, it is necessary for us to remember the words the great man himself used to his follower in speaking of this masterpiece. Eckermann teased him for interpretations. "What," said he to Goethe, "is the leading Idea in the Poem?"
"Yes," said the bachelor, and mused a moment. "He's a talented fellow. It's only a few months ago that he really began life. Now he's outgrown my service." "Left the nest," said the lady. "Yes, indeed. He has invented" "Oh, dear!" The bachelor was teased. "Ah! come, now; show your usual kindness; he has, really, made a simple, modest agricultural machine that meets a want long felt.
