What Constitutes q Leader of Society In
the snobby Metropci dis.
To be great leader is to be great
feeder. You must dispense terrapin and
canvas-back ducks ana rare brands OF
champagne, in lordly dining-halls, or
your place is certain to be secondary.
You may, If a man, have the manners
OF Chesterfield and the wit of Bal
FAC; you may, If a woman, be beautiful
as Mary Stuart and brilliant as deStael,
and yet, powerless to entertain" you
can fill no lofty pedestal. Position"

whose strings work as fiexibly as the
dorsal muscles of professional toady.
And this kind of toady has an exqui-
site fair for your greatness and your
dignity the moment he becomes quite
sure OF your pecuniary willingness to
back BOTH New York is at present the
paradise of parvenus, and these oc-
casionally commit grotesque mistakes
in the distribution of civilties. Because
you chose ito "stay in" for season or
two they will take for granted, if sud-
denly brought in contact with you, that
you have never "been out" and could
not go if you tried. OF course, to feel
hurt by such cheap hauteur proves
that you are in manner worthy of
1t; but even though you are not
IN the least hurt you can not
refrain from a thrill of annoyance
that a country which has boasted in so
loud-mouthed a way to Europe of hav-
ing begun it's national life by whole

contain citizens cursed by spirit OF
such tawdry pride. At least the aris.

those monarchies of which they have

Though distinct clogs to civilization
their existence remains pathetically
legitimate. Nuisances, they are still
nuisances with hereditary hold OF
history. Their chief modern claim TO,
continuance is the fact that they wer'

porter to call out my train. One of the dele

withered look. He wore one of those long

He looked about the hotel office in pain for a

The boy asked: Which DO you want, the

The old man said it was the drinking water
he wanted, and the boy pointed out barrel to

was pretty dry. He emptied the Gun twice and
then asked the boy: How much? The boy
said they did not charge anything for drinking

Rolling his eyes hesvenward and beginning a
fervent prayer in a Wilkesbarre court, says the
Philadelphia Record the Rev. Richard Berg
man, defendant under three serious criminal
charges, resolved that christian science
should defend him, and that neither witnesses
nor lawyers would be needed. Not aware of
this resolution Mr.. Scraggs the accused cler-
gyman's lawyer, asked him how many witnesses
he had.
mo witnesses, - replied the preacher
But with three such charges against YOU ~
said Attorney Scraggs. you must have wit
nesses or can't win.
Then the Lord will win for me- " responded
the clergyman, looking at the ceiling
You had better get the Lord to try your
case, them" impatently retorted Attorney
Scraggs.
The clergyman offered another PRAYER and at
its conclusion asked how long ne might be SEN
fenced for
Seven or eight years" answered his attor-
ney.
The Rev. Mr.. Bergman was charged by his
sweetheart Miss Catharine Schumpp with as
sault and battery, with larceny and receiving
stolen goods and with criminal attempt upon
tue liberties of Miss Schumpp. This lady, who
appeared in court as Mr.. Bergman's prosecu-
trix, is a handsome young woman.
The defendant, after again consulting with
his attorney, decided to plead guilty to the
charges of assault and battery and larceny and
receiving stolen goods, on condition that the
more serious charge he continued. The com
monweaith accepted this plea.

Pointers" Are Property.

Quite a serious injustice Of long standing
was measurably rectifed by the decision OF
a New York Judge the other day. At least
his decision forms a basis and precedent for
future justice and equity IN the kind OF
matters referred 10.
In the course Of the decision the judge
places a valuable suggestion such as is known
in business, an especially stock transactions,
as a pointer" on the plane Of merchantable
commodities. and holds that where a man
can show that he furnished the ideas or i'll
formation upon which any sort Of business
operation was based aud brought 10 sue
cessful OF profitable conclusion he shall be
treated as a partner IN the enterprise. and
be entitled TO such a share IN the proceeds as
may have previously been agreed upon.
Such "A decision is Of IN re Importance
than may at first thought appear. When
one man furnishes 10 another ideas or in
formation which he has not the capital 20
develop 10 a resultant profit he certainly
furnishes a very important part Of the
essential concOmitants Of success without
which the money aud other cOntributory
aids employed in the operation would be
Intellectual. As these valuable contrlbu-
tons to the necessary capital Of trade or
speculation are of al intangible character
they have heretofore frequently subjected
their owners 10 the INSCRIPTIONS action Of
benefciaries who had operated upon them
by supplying the tangible property need
iul and then chose TO ignore tie rights of
those who had furnished really the most
valuable part in the success of the opera
tion.
Whenever a person furnishes any valua-
bic share ttat contributes to the ultimate
success and profit of any sort of transaction
he is in equity entitled to share in the re
sultant proceeds, and it is very gratifying
to see that the law has finally. come to
recognize that right and to protect him in
the enforcement of it.
