Work Without Whiskers

Work Without Whiskers.

A pastime, frisky reader, is an expenditure of energy regardless of expense, perspiration in combination with inspiration, toil with oil, and work without whiskers; recreation is recreation and not wreck-creation, as some melancholy “toilunatics” would have it. It is quite true that “all work and no play makes Jack a killjoy.” “The play's the thing” quoth Shakespeare, and it is well known that He was a bit of a sport.

Life itself is a pastime, serious reader—the fine old game of blind man's bluff; the bluffer the “bluff” the better the blind.”
