READING
-n.
The general body of what one reads. In our country it consists, as a rule, of Indiana novels, short stories in "dialect" and humor in slang.

His learning and breeding;
By what draws his laughter
We know his Hereafter.
Read nothing, laugh never —
The Sphinx was less clever!
His learning and breeding;
By what draws his laughter
We know his Hereafter.

The Sphinx was less clever!
