tect who has carved out his own fortune.
| and spattered the gloom and gravy
thereof all along down the corridors of
time. Give me the self poised and self
appointed studenticket who has won his
way unaided from the counting room of
the livery stable to the proud and dizzy
height of ''caller off" at catch-as-catch-
can and Grace Roman hop for incon-
trovertible and seek-no-furthcr advice
on how to behave. He is the man who
generally thinks that good writer is a
man who has won his fame in that
direction by his good penmanship. He
seems to think that good writing i'm
plies feverish and delirious display of
ornamental swans and bad spelling, and
that powerful writing is produced by
bearing on little harder than is ones
wont.
In short, he is, as a general thing and
by general concession, the ass de luxe Of
the century he disfgures, the artificial,
veneered gentleman who, living, lect-
ures his betters, and dying-he and his
whiskers together-goes to his reward
just as the odor of scorching wooden
and hot hair dye is waited to US across
the bourne of that country where round
trip tickets are unknown and perpetual
stop-over privileges are accorded. In
life he abstracts attention from his own
glazing shortages by lecturing others,
and in death he wears a very tooth
some, artificial smile and a costume
which does not extend below the plate
glass peep hole of his narrow house In
his home paper on the next week ap-
pears the following:

When calling on any one at an hotel,
send up your card and wait for a reply.
If the servant returns with the reply
that the gentleman is not in, do not lose
your temper, or throw rubber cuspi-
dore through the mirror, or say bitter
things, but go on about your business, If
You have any, and if not, advertise and
get some at once.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, who once
in a great while goes over to San Fran
cisco to buy his groceries for the year,
stops at the Palace hotel while there,
and has pleasing device for obtaining
rest and soothful calm, unbroken by the
uncalled for calls of people who wish to
drop in and expectorate from his win.
