Imitation Oysters I note by an exchange t h a t they have

Invented an Imitat ion oyster in Paris

t ha t Is as good as t he real th ing , if not

more ao, and a lmost aa intel l igent . I

don ' t know whe the r It la dude ' a brain,

or the gray m a t t e r of a wobbly-legged,

speckled las t spr ing ' s calf. As fa r as

a u U t a n c e ia concerned I should surely

give the preference to the spring calf ,

a l though I say It with no disrespect to

t he dude or t he oyater.

Tlie oyster n t best ia not a beaut iful

animal , nor Is It very accomplished,

possibly because it haa no t been prop-

erly developed, or If It has It is not well

understood. Aa I say. t he oys te r prop-

er has so few accomplishments tha t It

has bu t l i t t le to redeem It. and while

fine f e a t h e n May make line birds, fine

ulothas will no t make oys ters any more

than fine clothes will pu t bra lna Into

the r r an ium of a bow-legged, gimlet-

eyed dude.

I apprehend t h a t the new oyater is

al l r i g h t for anyone who enjoys tha t

sor t of th ing, and is about as near t he

real oyster as the dude la to the real

man. An oyster has a receeding fore-

head and wcara a pompadonr and don ' t

really care a cent whe the r the United

HtateM e x p a n d s or not H e l m s no more

in teres t in our conntry 'a we l fa re than

a congressman, and if unable to make

n speech he is satisfieil to have one

pr inted in tlie Congressional Record,

An oyater doea not chew tobacco,

smoke, or d r ink whiskey, and there-

fore, ought to be a g rea t solace to the

Anti-Saloon League and Tota l Alwti-

nence Union. An oyster Is reputed to

have very l i t t l e bralua, and hence I

of ten wonder t h a t more of them a re

not in politics. Too many imitation

oysters are in politics and religion, and

in many o the r branches of endeavor.

The imi ts t ion oyater iu politica ia the

fellow who ia "ag in the government . "

r igh t o r wrong, bu t sti l l " a g i n " it, and

all he does is to cuaa t he ex is t ing order

of things. He has one special grudge

a l wha teve r ex lata, and t ransposing

Pope's poetical epigram, t he imitation

oyster believes t h a t whatever ia

is wrong. If he had managed a politi-

cal campaign he would have done it

the o the r way , and all he doea ia to find

faul t with thoae who t ry t o do some-

thing. but never with hia own kind of

imitation oyate

They are In religion too, and many a

pulpit is alflieied with i n imitation oy-

s ter t h a t knows about t he same num-

ber of ti l ings and is equal ly progreas-

Ive. bu t ia no t aa brainy and puahlng

aa a real oyster . Hut It is not alone In

the pulpi t t ha t we find him, bu t In t he

pews also, and woe to t he church t h a t

haa too many Imitation oys ters In t he

pews. They alt there like ao many

bu.nps on a log and sleep, except when

the preacher s teps upon what they

. | deem forbidden ground, and then they

make more t l i a turbance t h a n a real, live

loneaome oyater in a bowl of church

social soup. The real oyater may make

miUakes, but the ImiUtion oyster never

doea. He exista in all b ranches of so-

ciety and businesa, and aaka no odds of

anybody. He spongea hia existence off
