Tho author glanced at tho editor as II no
half doubted his sincerity II Allen had not
had excellent control over his feelings no
could not have rcfraincd from laughing.
TonCy's excellent opinion of his own talents
IA u poet blinded him lie laid the gem
aside, determined 10 send 10 10 Hayper's, and
drew another which he thought moro com

"oh, speak not OF splcndor,, ot sorrow and

Oh tell not OF anguish, your hopes or your
fears,
Come 10 me In gladncss, with laughter or

"That poem is too deep; our readers
would never be able To fathom IT." said tho
editor. Not having been able 20 fathom IL
himself Allen supposed that fcw At least OF
the Western Repu6lic readers could.
Toucy then selected two small vcrsCs OF
doggcrCl, meaningless stuff which he called
sonucts, gave them TO the editor, almost
freezing the blood IN his veins by the an
nouuCCmcut that hc would soon have
serial story ready for the Western Repubhc,
and left the Office
Allen suspected that tho story was already
written, und had been rejected Ivy every
publisher in tho land. OF course Toncy
would iusist that II was IN excellent story,
and that as soon IA il appeared In print
would take the world by storm.
Having 80, rid OF the poet, the publisher
went 20 assist in making up the form, when
Tom Simmons entered.

to serve a probation of continual

What Are They Proud Of:

A chronic grnmbler caught the
Rambler's ear recently, and this IS
what he had to soy: IAN a%ristocracy
in a republic is a pestilent anomaly
and yet that is precisely what Is
growing up. A self.made nan VINO
has worked for his wealth win
unhagging industry and keen 10
telligence, retains his democracy,
but not 80 his wife aud daughters
who have done nothing but cult
vate expensive tates. They elevate
their noses at less pretentious ne'sh.
borhoods aud lament that their
parent has no dignity whatever'
They manage to tolerate him oe-
cause he keeps their lily sh'te
hands from the necessity OF toll
but they mako him feel bis immcasof,
able inferiority when any sooal
question turns up. What are the!
proud of? They are proud Of dong
nothing and of being no earthly uso
to anybody or even TO themselves.
Usefulness of any kind is horribly
vulgar. They call themselves 'soou
society," and what with holding tnelf
heads very high and keeping every, =.
body except their own particular w
at a distance, they have manager
to persuade a great many that INC,
really are superior in son'a mys'
rious fashion to other citizens.
