Impertinent Poems—Forbes & Co., Publishers, Box 464, Chicago—is a well printed little volume, of which The Philadelphia Telegraph says: Any one with an honest mind and a sense of humor will be obliged to like them whether he will or no.  They make the reader sit up and blink and then sit back and think.

Figure



O, some love place and a courtier-crawl,
And some love name, and a soldier-brawl,
And some love fame, and a poet-scrawl,
But the love of a baby tops them all.
