THE CULTURED MAN IN LOVE.

This witch of modern days.
Secure of all mems praise,
Laughs at the critics gaze,
Arts analytic:
One kneels before a shrine
To worship, not refine,
And when I come to mine,
Dieth the critic.
That Love makes all men blind
My scientific mind
Is half ashamed to find
Like some before me;
And yet this question dread
At times fits through my head
when we are fairly wed,
Will she not bore me?'
For all her mind lies waste,
And, save in dress her taste
In no degree is based
On higher culture;
Reconcile things of art
labor to impart
In vain-my words depart
To swift sculpture.
Once when I brought from town
A book of Browning's down
And read to her, a frOwn
Puckered her forehead;
Twas on that very day
T heard her lightly say
ct took my breath away
'*Poets are horrid."
I point her to the best,
She answers with a jest,
Says she can but digest
A mental jelly!
So finds her choicest food
In Mrs. Henry Wood,
And loves in every mood
Marie Corelli.
When Bach or Mendelssohn
Like Jove is laundering on,
With many sti1ed yawn
Her lips are twitching;
But at Chevalier's song
Her laugh is loud and long.
And can laugh be wrong
That's so bewitching?
Her simple creed and bold
In art ooh heavens!) would hold
All bad, per Sc, that's old,
All good that's recent;
Phil May outweighs, in fact,
With her, a gallery packed
With masters old and cracked
And hardly decent"
I aim to teach and miss,
She stops me with a kiss;
If unconvinced by this,
With some soft menace.
We drift through lovers hooks
OF talk we drop from books
To chatter of her looks,
From art to tennis.
She is Loves poem writ
In flesh and blood, and yet
Q.et me but whisper IT'D
The least bit stupid
Well, Love will have his way,
If at some future day
She bores me, shall lay
The blame on Cupid.

with the Conroy, Chute and McCord faction against Higgins.
 This was the old Forty-sixth then, you know. I was in two fights that primary, but we had the inside ana won out"
 With a few brief tales he rushed ] through the years into the more recent and racv field of his Democratic his tory.
 T switched to the Democrats in the campaign when Cleveland was running the second time. Dougherty wanted to beat Mike Mcdonald in the old Forty sixth and he wanted me to help him. l So I resigned from the Republican County Committee and Dougherty put me in the Fire Department"
 We had sole hot times that pri- mary" he continued. "Dougherty sent me over to McDonald's own precinct, and I started in challenging there against Mcdonald himself and Ed Riley.
 "McDonald started in f1ourishing gun and bluffing me generally. l had an old gun and I gave it to one of our boys and says, Now, you keep right | close to me whatever happens and give me that gun if want 1t.
 When one of our fellows came up to vote the inspector just dumped his ballot on the floor.
 T puts my hands on the barricade and swings half way over, and Me Donald out with his gun. l knew he wouldn't shoot; at least l didn't think he would. and I says to the inspector:
 {" Say, are you goin' to let that man voter yer head off, says Mcdonald.
 T, keepin' my eye on the gun the while, says, Look out, or that thing Il go off, the way you're foonn' with 1t.
 "The way he took this concluded l didn't need any gun. so over I jumped.
 "The inspector grabbed the ballot box to hang on to it and I just made a feint at his ear. He threw up his hands uuick and I grabbed the box and | fiipped it over to our gang, and the books followed after it. Just then Mc- Donald jumped inside the barrieade and I knocked him into corner before l he could strike and swung among em right and left" l Aleck's face was aglow with anima- tion like that of a war veteran who l tells how his corps made the tri- umphant charge, and he paused to | grin.
 "Our gang was ready, but the other fellows had enough. Before I could get 10 the box a policeman had 1t and was starting to carry it up to the committee rooms.
 ",That's right I says, but let me carry the box
 ".I don't care what yez do with the box, he says, so long as l get 1t up town
 50 I took the box. and as we went along I put in about POO tickets I had ready.
 ..Well, of course. there was a contest at headquarters. The books were gone and the committee asked how many ! tr,I {y,f Ir>x-
 ..The other side said about fifteen and I said I judged there was about 260
 We chewed the rag for a while, and then the committee decided to count the tickets just as they were in the sbox.
 And that's how we won out in that precinct that time.

EDlGREE hunting IS the faQ or
 the hour The great question
 seems to be Who were nv an-
 cestors?" I have it from the
 very highest authority-from
 man who knows more about the lines of descent of prominent American families than probably any other per son in the United States. l refer to MT. Charles H. Browning, who has de- voted his entire life to the study of genealogy and heraldry and whose most recent achievements are embodied in the Order of Runnymede and the Order of the Crown. He is the organ izer of the first and the only male mem Der of the second.
 MT. Browning occupies a sphere which is unique. He is not a profes- sional pedigree hunter" in the sense that hundreds of men and women are who make very comfortable living by catering to the vanities of those Ameri- cans who imagine themselves better than their neighbors and want to prove 1t. That is a profession in itself. MT. Browning does not have to hunt for pedigrees. He is a walking encyclo- pedia of genealogy. He IS an expert. His services are called upon in organ izing various genealogical societies. His advice is courted in matters pertaining to such things. He knows all about everybody and everybody's family away back as far as they can be traced. That's why the ladies who organized the Order of the Crown honored him with a membership in their society. He is the only man ever elt ted to mem bership in that exclusive body or who ever will be. He is sui generis-
 MT. Browning is a native of Cincin-
 t--% r.fo 4 cod United States navy officer. He was ed- ucated at Kenyon College and entered upon newspaper and literary work. Long before the prevalent fad for ped igrees and pedigree orders appeared Mir Browning developed a taste for genealogical work by investigations into his ow-. lineage. From experience thus derived he saw the necessity for and evolved a perfect system for the verification of pedigrees already com piled and for the growth of the family tree.
 Although the Order of the Crown has not yet been fully organized, at least fifty designs have been submitted for insignia, which shows, in a measure, to what extent the fad has grown. The idea originated with Miss Farnsworth of Detroit, who immediately communi- cated with MT. Browning for advice. That gentleman naturally advocated the movement. AS a result the order is on the high road to success. is as yet without a rival. and MT. Browning has been commissioned to compile the Year Book That means-well. it means a nice little lump sum, anyhow.
 MT. Browning lives at Ardnore, Pa., just a short ride from that hotbed of pedigrees, Philadelphia. For several years he edited the American Histori- cal Register, which was the organ of the American Heredity Society, and he is

| With the prestige of this victory, and the glory of defeating his old leader, Dougherty, in his own district, Aleck ! boldly seized the opportunity to ad- vance himself nearer the political head ship. It was necessary to firmly estab- fish recognition as a factional leader both in party councils and in the aus trict. To do this he needed head quarters, for no boss that knows his business has his office in his boots. He couldn't very well open an office and hang out sign, "A Greggains, Dem. BCss." What was more natural at such a juncture than to start a saloon Jim Farrell, who was raised on primaries with Aleck, and had once been a police man. was going to the Klondike; Aleck wanted a partner and lieutenant, and he prevailed on Farrell to stay and fill the bill.
 Thus, briefly. one day Mir. Alexander Greggains, member of the committee Of fifteen in charge of Congressman Ma guire's gubernatorial campaign, rising power in the district where he was born, priZefighter and hero of many an election scrap, came to be found at the end of his own bar, providing an ex- ample of the birth and rise of a dis trict boss.
 AIeck was cut out for a boss in more ways than one, for when I entered the newly painted abode of political and social power l heard him roar: Here, put on that coat, you - fooli"
 All right, Aleck; les have mother drink-everybodyh have drink" said the honest son of toll, with a lunge at the bar, as he slapped down another hard earned dollar.
 Steam steam steam" chorused the line Tn unison, and Aleck poured out a teaspoonful of whisky on invita- ton, spat it out after the Heres luck" and took out the 10 cents for it from the payment.
 The boss is always asked to drink at such civil government bars. He is not expected to make a hog of himself, and he is not, of course, supposed to drink beer, in all of which custom he reaps the regular percentage in dollars and cents, o.ro tr.t on.n,ro ,,n i. ..,d Aleck in a pause after the rush. "I needed a place like this for the cam paign," and waved both hands proudly about the freshly bedecked room. shining with newly painted kegs and unused glasses. There was smart ness of appearances adapted to the or dinary beer business of the neighbor- hood as well as to the higher class patronage that politics might bring. The beer came from somewhere, just as it does uptown, to faueets-two for the steam and one for the lager. There was back room for all loungers and card players; and there was a little room behind the bar, with an outside door of it's own, that privacy might cloak consultations if needful.
 You haven't seen the club, have you?'' and I saw the club, entered quite naturally by door from the bar room. All the social and political and business life of the headquarters passes quite naturally through the barroom. oir h n1-fEa strewn with some old athletic outfits and with ring in process of arrange ment.
 This was simply another string to the

Mike hadn't been driving around toe much. He owned milk route and used to drive around collecting a little wher he had a right to; that was all.
 T thought I knew what Dougherty was giving me, and I says to myself I'll just go and ask the Chief about , that
 'Dougherty's a liar" said Chief Sul- livan, when I spoke to him. T never saw your brother to know him in my life
 That settled Dougherty with me and I've been against him ever since, and I'll always be against him."
 Mike Greggains is ''trun down. on a foremanship, and years later the Greg gains forces will rally to battle a ticket for Freeholders in close contest.
 The summons, 70 Aleck," left me for few minutes with Lieutenant Farrell but the tap of political wisdom flowed on as freely from him as from Greg gains.
 "Aleck and I was raised together here and I'm glad to see him getting up in the world" said Farrell. "The Free holders election shows how Dougherty nd the Fire Department has lost the grip. There's no use bucking public sentiment. A live boss must get in with it the way it's going. You see when these old tads around here, on those back streets, get a biz water bill, they don't know anything about the water company; Nthey yell 'Supervisorsi'
 And then the Fire Department's been unpopular down here since Sulli- vans been saying it was out of poli- tics, though 1t ain't, for you ought to have seen these engine-houSe men out hustling election day; and when their ticket was beat right in Dougherty s district they transferred every man here. They haven't been treating the district right, and that counts too. The people like to see boys they know at the engine-houSe. and when there's a vacancy they like to see some of the boys down here get show. But no when there's vacancy some fellow from North Beach bobs up here So when a fireman asks a man in the lows apt to say, TO the divil with yez'
 We've always stayed right down here in the district and that counts. " observed MT. Farrell, in viewing the hopeful outlook. I've don't go up town more than an evening or two a week These uptown politicians that spend all their time up around the corners and hotels and headquarters up town can't keep their influence"
 T was just raised in politics and pu- gilism," went on Greggains, rumina lively, as he resumed his seat and his train of cheerful thoughts. us kids were always dublin around where there was anything goin' on. We al- ways had our fun around primaries and meetin's, and when I was IS l joined the Black Eagle Club down here That was Blaine and Logan club and I was a Republican then. Us bows just joined for the fun of the uniforms and marching.
 "I learned a lot more about politics but I didn't really go into the business till the next campaign, when some of the boys put me up for member of the Republican County Committee. Two years before my brother and some others put Mitch Phillips up for Super visor, but he wouldn't be tied to no boss and so naturally couldn't get any support. Out of that mess came a fight against Jack Hoey, and the next time the boys put me up agen him I was
