Excerpt from Allerlei, 1898, Vol. 7 AS regards the merit of the Allerlei for 1897, a certain modesty, all our own, prevents our expressing an opinion. The bear remarked to its offspring one day: You are a handsome cub, whereupon the cub became straightway inflated with pride and called everybody's attention to him self, but only to have it discovered that there was really nothing handsome about him, - which is a fable, but not according to zesop, the moral whereof is that it is a good thing not to be a handsome bear-cub, nor yet a vain Allerlei.
