now when spending five. Our
fo, ,efathers were brought up to

were quick to take advantage
of them.

now as it was then, but instead

Notwithstanding that facts are sometimes
clothed in a home-spun suit of odium, a
narratlon of these same facts now and then
tends to remove the cause that
produces the dislike to their
recital. The Toledo Bee of Saturday COM
ments on the detestible practice of "freez-
ing" and among other good things says that
there is no better way of distinguishing an
ill-bred person; tnat is, what We term "a
snob," than by their treatment of those
with whom they chance to come in con-
tact. The man or woman who assumes
freezing and intolerant air because of their
own supposed mental or social superiority, or
because of envy, jealousy or ignorance, is an
| ill-bred person, no matter what he or she
may be clad in or how many ciphers may
stand for their fortune, or what degree of
distinction they may have attained in
any walk of life. Some unconsciously rude
persons will answer the frank and cordial
speech of others in lofty manner that is
supposed to proclaim their own Importance
and their impatience at being annoyed. You
remember the story about the girl whe was
enacting wall-fower part at Washington
state ball in the long g-gone days. A gracious
lady sat down beside her and made some
pleasant observation about the evening and
the company. II never converse with stran-
gers, Madam" said the young woman in a
very scorching voice.
"Pardon me, my DEAR" came in the same
gentle manner, II will introduce myself:
am Mrs. Madison, wife of the president" !"
and with little smile of pity, she moved
away.
