Since the very beginning of his reign Adams
has, according to his own story, been trou bled
with caterers decora tors and wi.e merchants
anxious tc supply the demar ds of his club,
and also tailors and haberdashers ready 10
outfit the kingly person in habiliments
worthy his exalted stauoE; but to them all
the new ruler said, "Nay, nay"
ITO the caterers who offer me 10 per cent, l

cent not for myself, but for the club. For it

natural that l should do SO. I've grown up
with this hall. have attended dancing-school
here since l was 312 years old"
Mr. Adams states that in the far and distant t
future there is vague possibility of his being
mining man, but then there is nothing
dehnlte about that. In the meantime he
comes down every afternoon TO Lunts Hall
ana out of pure good-nature strums dance
music so his girl friends can have a dance.
They like dancing so much" he naively ex-
plains. The new leader composes all his own
music and lies awake nights thinking out new
cotillon figures. With pardonable PRIDE he
explains how on Saturday night last ali the
cnaperons applauded and how he was genu-
lnely pleased although he expected the greet
Ing and felt he certainly deserved it. Accord

CONF UCIUS WAS

Madam Montague Compares
Him to Spiritualist Lii

Slight Fear That All Followers
Of SpirituaIism We're to
Be Confined.

| The con n6nement of theosophical and
spiritual Mrs Lillian Winble to an in
sane asylum has caused great deal OF
alarm among the followers OF the spiritual
isuc belief. 1t may te stated that the
lady was sent to be confined by the MEM
bers O. her own family, yet that does not
seem to stay their fear. 1t is claimed by
her friends that she was committed be-
cause she showed sympto ms OF spiritual
inspiration, and that thousands of people,
including Confucius, might have been
confined on the same grounds.
movement is now on foot to secure
the instant release of Mrs. Vim bic but it
is thought she will remain in her present
quarters until the physicians thinks she
is prepared to act in a sane manner while
on the outside of the walls. 1t is not
claimed that spirituallsm is the cause of
her arrangement, but that natural causes
slightly assisted by attention to spiritual
meetings have caused her present trouble.
At the Oakland Psychical Society la st
evening her case was made a special fea-
ture and wailings loud and long fitted
out upon the night air. NADIA m Montague
was the speaker and askeq InaL the COM
munity be awakened to a sense of its re-
sponsinihty upon a question of just1 ce.
A long list of the names of prominent
people was read, and they were compared
with the condition of Mrs. Wimble
among them were Percles and Socr ates
Buddha and Confucus. Voltaire was
also said to be insane, if ratients had
been rightly judged, and it was further
stated that Colum ous escaped because his
lunacy brought wealth.

becoming dignity during an interview. He is
little chap. His pale, insignificant face is
lit up by pair OF smodering dark eyes that
peer from under dark brows His straight,
black hair is plastered willy boy fashion on
the narrow fiat head.
During the day when he dances not his
dress is as unlike a society leaders as he is
unlike the picturesque personifcation of a
matinee girls beau ideal A deep red sweater
incases his manly form and falls far beneath
his wais tcoat in the full ruffles suggestive of
the fashionable blouses from the home of the
White Car. Checked trousers clothe the agi e
limbs and navy blue diagonal coat and vest
complete the fetching costume.
The new leader is a confiding little chap.
After dancing-school hour he took the in

all his greatness 10 the marvels he has accom-

years ago we had but 400 mem bers, and now

The incongruity of the accepted 400 and 500
members to a fashionable class is glibly ex-
planned by Adams. Money can't buy in my
class, he emphatically declared. Character
is the thing. If your character can pass the
committee you may enter; otherwise no
amount OF gold can purchase the coveted
right.

spirituaism are alarmed that they may
be taken into custody for insane reasons,
but it has been said that because people
believe in spirits it does not brand them

7 TISTORY repeats ITSELF Like many an
other great man, Howard Adams awoke
one morning and found him self famous.
No one was more astonished at the historic
bu bile than the great man himself, but his
friends told him of the magnificent honor
which had rightly descended upon him, and
he duutuuy accepted the verdict of his
friends
: You are leader" they chimed, in as many
various tones and modes OF expression as there
were faithful admirers The mantle OF the
great Greenway mas descended upon you.
The King is deadl Long live the Kjngl Sa-
lutte to Howard Adams the First"
And Adams, meek, nice, uninteresting little
boy, said THANK you," and placed tinsel
crown upon his fiat little head and issued
edicts and other kingly things, and waited for
all to do him honor.
But In spite of the glare and the furry and
the new ruler, society these days is divided
There are those who know Howard Adams,
and there are those who do not.
Scholars who make study of the infinltesi-
NAL distinctions that divide the smart set
from just plain society maintain that if one
u
of either sex the following test is indis-
putable
The party TO the problem has but to submit
to one interrogation, ado you know Howard
Adams" If the affirmative reply come with
encouraging spontaneity, then one may safely
tabulate his or her name to the list marked
Society" But if. on the contrary, the query
is re-echoed in icy tone with accompany ing
frozen gestures, suggestive OF Christmas at ihe
Arctic, tabulate his or her name in The column
devoted to the Smart Set"
With perseverance almost worthy of not
nobler but greater cause the test was sue
cessfully applied. There are 400 smart
people in town. Six hundred con titute so
