Defeat of Either Side.
The young man who always wears u
Prince Albert coat and never seems TO
enjoy himself was talking to q bright
young woman of this city, The bicycle
was the theme of conversation, says
the Washington Star.
NO. said the young man; Il do not
approve of wCmen's learning to ride the
wheel"
Il don't see why"
Because it's just a passing whim. It's
81 diversion which will go cut of vogue
just as other crazes have done. And
then what have you gained by all this
expenditure of time and money!"
"But, don't see, Mr.. Slimmins, what
reason YOU can have for regarding the
oicycle as a mere fad"
"My reason is the disfavor toward it
that is already appearing. Where
everybody was once talking about its
being good exercise, people are coming
out and denouncing it. Bicycles are be-
ing more abused every day. Don't you
agree with me?'
''Of course | shouldn't think of quar-
reling with you, Mr.. Slimmins, and
will admit one thing"
what is that?''
There never was a time when BIZ
cycles were sat down upon by so many
people"
And the young man in the Prince
Albert coat smiled self-satisfied smile
and said that was exactly the point he
was trying to make.

CIGAR AS A SOCIAL FORCE
Bright Young Man Insists Teach

ing His Father to smoke
That adage about the child being ia
ther 10 the man received an odd inter
probation by young man who lives in
Oak Park. He thinks it means that
the child should run things and make
the old man stand around.
This bright young man, says L Chica-
go paper, lives with his father in bache-
lor apartments. 1t CHANGED that the
old man led an exemplary life in his
younger days and had never learned 10
smoke. The son, however, being thor
oughly up TO the times, is very fond of
his cigar, and many a colloquy ensued.
When the father came home To lind the
rooms rcdolcnt CT cigar smoke he
would argue with his son that it was no
nice way TO do, and that lie should re-
spect the feelings of those who OBJ
jected to smoke.
but, father" objected the young
man, ''you must recognize the fact that
the cigar is n great social factor. Fa-
ther, YOU must learn to smoke. 1t is an
accomplishment Of every gentleman,
and you should not overlook it,"
The next day he brought home box
of cigars and pipe for his father, and
the old gentleman, who had spent so
years in this vale of smoke without
knowing the comforts or solace of to-
bacco, began industriously to learn to
smoke. After three trials he gave it
up and confessed his defeat. His son
smoked up all the cigars and the pipe
was given to an irreverent young man
who laughtcd at the story.

\ new appointment has Keen made
from Waterford to the chair Of prpies-
sor of Gaelic in Maynooth college, Iro
land. The new aprointec is a member
of the Gaelic league of Dublin, ana
was the first editor Of the Archa"Clo@-
iCal Journal, of Waterford. The opin-
ion is very general that Gaelic is an
extinct language, or one nearly eN-
tinct, and the labors of the Gaelic so
ciety in New York TO revive it's use
have lent some color to that opin on.
Nevetheless. as figures show, the
Gaelic tongue is most tenacious, and,
according to the last reports, is spoken,
though not exclusively. by 1,o00,O0o
persons in the British Isles 100000 IL

Scotland.
Though English is the official Ian
guage of all these countries, the pop
ularity of English increases slowly de
spite the disadvantage under which
those who use Gaelic labor, that of hav-
| ing no established grammar and no
recognition in an official way. Gaelic
| fulflls the colloquial requirements of
| the farmers and fishermen in the cuun-
ties remote from the large cities, some
what as the Basque language continues
| to he popular in the northern province
| of Spain.
| In this country Gaelic has made little
headway. though many patriotic Irish
men have by various methods cndcav-
| ored to acquaint others less patriotic
with its advantages. While the use of
most European languages has about
doubled in Is years, five times as many
persons speak English as did in 1920.
