THEY TALKED OF HITLER.

“To think that any man should sink solo,” said a cardplayer. “His actions are not cricket,” said the man in flannels, “but we’ll stump him yet. we’ll bowl him out, all right; we’ll hit him to leg.” “That must be our goal,” said the man in the guernsey. “We’ll slam him to blazes,” breathed the bridge-player fiercely. “Domino him!” briefly grunted

the man who played on the pub bar. “Too right, we’ll euchre him,” was the contribution of the third card-player. “We’ll put him in a huff,” said the draughts-player. . “Checkmate him,” put in the chess-player. “Put the curb" on him, and when he looks for a run cin the rails we’ll stiffen him,” said the horsey man. “We’ll beat him by hook or .by crook, make his ships sinkers, break his lines and give him the rod,” declared the, fisherman.. “He got on his bike about things, but he’ll soon be tyred,” said the cyclist. • “He’ll never beat our aces; and when he attacks our placements he’ll find he’s lost his advantage,” quoth the man with the racquet. “And he’ll be beaten by our cannons. We’ll put him on the spot .and run him into a pocket,” observed the billiardist. “Put’ him through the hoops,’ was the croquet-player’s remark. “He ought to be/shot,” said the publican. *' * *
