Nobility.

Certainly nobility is Of blood and
birth, and he whowould be immortal

places of precedence. They are of a

Madam, what was the name of this
spring chicken?"
Mr.. Golightly stared hard at the
landlady as he spoke. The bird in
question, skillfully eluding the fork
with which he supposed he had i'm
paled it, had leaped from under the
carving knife and struck him squarely
in the shirt front.
"Name, AIr. Golightly," said the
landlady; 81 don't think it had a

"You should have called it Hope,
ma'am," said the unhappy carver.
"And why Hope?"

springs eternal in the human breast. >"
