St-CKSSS AC (Copyright. 1M. by Casper 8. Yeah] Y DEAR LITTLE GIRLâ€"I have just been a witness to a tragedy. Within sight from the window of my room in the little country hotel where I am stopping today is a pretty cottage. I don’t know how it looks from the street, for the rear elevation. as the architects say, is turned my way, but what I can see of it from this side leads me to believe that the owner is in a little better than moderate circum- stances as circumstances go in a town of this size. He has a large and com- modious back yard, in which he is raising chickens for pleasure. I know it’s for pleasure because he graciously permits his wife to do all the work. At least I suppose it’s his wife. Any- how, she wears a faded red sunbonnet. one of those Japo-American kimonos that stop just a little too quick. and an air of authority that is quite un- mistakable. There are a number of pens or runs or whatever they call them in this back yard, and each is oc- cupied by a lot of birds of a feather. One pen, however, is evidently reserv- ed for a bunch in which the owner takes a special pride. I don‘t know .what kind of chickens they areâ€"Polled Angus. maybeâ€"but they’re swell birds all right, and they are fed on the fat of the land, while their neighbors must be content with the crumbs that fall from Dives' table.

My personal opinion is that you’re a whole lot better than anybody else, ex- cept your mother. But you haven’t got quite as much money as some people I know, and that’s the thing that makes class distinctions in this country so far as society, strictly speaking, is concern- Watching the social triumphs of his wife. fication for social position, it’s mainly what you spend that puts 'you into the swim.

On the other hand. you may blow in ten thousand a year on a five thousand in- come and manage to hold your head above water in the $10,000 class for awhile. But just for awhile, mind you. And that’s what causes three- fourths of the evils that result from In the first place. my dear, while what you have is the principal quali- a woman’s ambition to be like one of the candles on a birthday cake. a bright and shining light on the up- per crust. Yes. I know, Billy may be willingâ€" he may even give you a boost. May- be he‘s so doggoned proud of you that he just naturally wants to see you make all the folks around the corner sit up and take notice. I wouldn’t blame him for feeling that way, ’deed I wouldn’t; but, my little girl. let me tell you there‘s many a man standing off in a corner watching-the social tri- umphs of his wife with a smile on his face while his finger nails are cutting deep into the palms of his hands as. he wonders where he’s going to raise the money to pay for it. Many a man just grins and saws wood. ’but a display of teeth won’t increase any- body‘s income materially, and one may smile and smile and be bankrupt still. No, honey. there’s just one cer- tain end to social ambition that gm ahead of one’s income, and that's what the old time newspaper reporters used to call a dull thud. Something’s go- ing to drop. sure as shooting, and if I was making a book on it I’d be Willing to make it a hundred to one shot that it would be you and Billy. I’ve seen many a man and many a woman come down like that and mighty few of them, mighty few of them, ever got able to climb back up again. “Poor Smith! He was a good fellow, but his wife mined him.” That’s what they said every time. I don’t want anybody to say that about my daugh- Keep In iour Own Class. You see. it‘s just as I told you. The trouble ain’t with society; It’s the get- ting out of your class. It’s doing like Miss Palletâ€"flying over the fence into company where she didn't belong. If you’re going to get along in this world nice and oomtortab’e and happy, you’ve got to recognize your own limitations. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE I never play p‘b'ker with a man who «arts the game with a five dollar ante. .\'u. six-9e. I politely but firmly draw out. Me ain't in my class, and I’ve got sense enough to know it. My bay mare is as tine an animal as ever came of! the blue grass. and when I’m out for a spin with her nothing on four legs is going to pass me. But if a man comes along with a sixty horsepower automobile do you think I’m going to try to keep alongside of him? Not much, Liza June. I pull to one side and wait till the dust settles, then I trot ahead just as contented as if I had won the Derby. And I don’t have any hard feelings against the man in the auto either. If he‘s got the money to pay {or it. why shouldn’t be have one and ride in it too? I would. And it’s just the same to you, little girl. and the swells around the corner. They're nice people. There’s good and bad among them, just as there are on the side streets, but they’ll average up just as high as any of us. No use to rail at the faults of the so called high SJt'lC‘ty. That’s mostly sour grapes. They have their faults good and 'plenty. So have all of us. But they are able to set a pace that it would be foolish for you or me to try to keep up with. Maybe some day. if you are wise now. you and Billy will have money to Grandpa, Snead! Gcclure you can out of life, honey. but be mighty sure that Billy‘s got the price and got it to spare. Your loving father, JOHN SNEED. P. S.-â€"I have just received a personal and confidential communication from your mother which tickles me almost to death. Grandpa Sneed! Gee! All Were Notables. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain and Lord Rosebery were returning from the the- ater one night. While crossing the street they were accosted by a ragged boy who. after sweeping the mud from their path, asked for alms. Not wanting to leave the boy in a fix. Rosebery tried to fix things up with the officer. but the worthy gentle- man would not listen and took them all three up to the station. Lord Rosebery was about to give the boy a coin when an idea struck him. “My boy,” said Rosebery, “if you will hit that policeman a swat on the back with your muddy broom I will give you 10 shillings.” Prompt to the word the boy crept in back of the officer and, raising his broom. struck him in the back, then turned and ran, but, to the dismay of Rosebery, the officer caught the boy after a chase of a few yards. They were taken before the judge of the station. and. after surveying them through his glasses, he took down a book and. turning to Chamberlain. asked his name. “Hon. Joseph Cham- berlain,” was the reply, and the judge smiled. The boy was next, and, stepping to the front, he drew himself up to his full height and waited for the usual question, “Your name?” Rosebery mponded also with his full title, “Lord Rosebery.” “My namé?" said the boy. “Well. judge, I’m not the kind as what goes back on me pals. I’m the ‘Duke of Wellington.’ " Grim Jests. Deathbed jokes are generally not an- thentic. The celebrated one attributed to Tom Hood, for instanceâ€"that be pro- tested against blaming the undertaker who had blundered into coming before the great wit Was dead and said that the man had “come only to urn a lively Hood”â€"is known to be decidedly apocryphal. Nevertheless a remark somewhat of the same sort, which is attributed to Lord Chesterfield in his last illness, is undoubtedly authentic. Chesterfield was very ill, and his death was only a matter of a few weeks, but his phy- sician advised that he be taken for an easy drive in his carriage, and he went out. As the equipage was proceeding slowly along it was met by a woman who remarked pleasantly to the great invalid. “Ah, my lord, I am glad to see you able to drive out.” “I am not driving out, madam,” an- swered Chesterfield. “I am simply re- hearsing my funeral.”â€"St. Louis Re- public. “Yo’ know, boss, I‘s gwine be mar- ried nex’ week.” he admitted halting? ly. “I’s‘ gwine to marry/ Miss May Felicity Johnson, an’ May she. say she wants ter be married 3113’ like white folks.” - The Simpie Life.
