cnristened Ulysses Simpson Grant
Tlbbetts. This was too long, so peo-
pie called him Club.
The third was Of the Vintage OF 1882
ana his name went into the Register
as chester A. Arthur Tibbetts, but, in
nc interest of Euphony he was dubbed
ART, because Art is Long.
The Tibbetts Family lived in the City
ana Link, the frst-born, enjoyed all
the Advantages of Life In an Apart
ment Building. He went to q Graded
SShool and picked up so much Knowl-
cage that at the age of II he could set
his parents down In front of him and
tell them Things they did not know.
AT IA he was so far along that he knew
how to lie in Bed and have his Mother
bring his Breakfast up to him. He
went to Dancing School and learned to
play all the "Pinafore" music on the
Upright Agony Box. Sometimes he
chided Mr.. and Mrs. Tibbetts for not
having as much Money as many OF the
People he met at Dancing Parties. He
had about rs much application as a
used up Porous Plaster and he wor-

he did about his Business Prospects.
Mr.. Tibbetts CAV him a Desk at the
Office n called him Assistant Some
thing. His Duties consisted of look
ing at the Clock and writing Notes to
the GaZellos he had met the Night be-
fore. If he had been set out on the
Pavement and told to Root for himself.
It would have broken him of the Habit
of Eating.
Link was whatever they called a
Lobster in 1880. Mr.. Tibbetts realized
that City Life had an enervating Eff
feet OF Boys and made them Super
fetal and Wise in their own Conceit.
Club was 8 years old and had not yet
succumbed to the Matinee Habit, so his
Parents decided to ship him out to the
Green Fields and keep him there until
he had developed a Character. Mr..
and Mrs. Tibbetts knew that all the
Men Of Sterling Worth, mentioned in
Political Biographies, had been raised
on the Farm. They figured that If
Club could be left in the Country to
run with tho Live Stock, he would grow

His First Dress Suit.

youthful looking mar and he wore a natty
opera hat and a lengthy reglan which
caused hin to be the cynosure OF all
eyes in the Arch street trolley car. 1t
was probably the first time he had ever
worn a dress suit. n as he walked into
the car his painful embarrassment was
noticeable. Many smiles fitted across the
passengers features, and the young fell
low noticed each one and blushed deeply.
But more trouble was In store. At Sew
enteenth street two red-faced servant
girls boarded the car. They crowded into
a seat and began to talk volubly.
