A new alignment Of the bluebloods
had been made, on the authority Of the
College of Heralds, and the authentic
ity of it had been attested in en-
graved form and signed by "R. G..
Ponsonby Carew-Pole." A document
with a name like that at the end Of
it could not possibly arouse suspicion.
Social circles were agog. Here was
a patent Of near-royalty to those whose
names appeared in the list! Accord
ing to this paper they were of exalted
rank and entitled to recognition at all
social and semi-state functions with
in the confines of the crown" We
have the authority of several journals
of the great cities for saying that
among the exalted" there was BEAM
ing and bubbling JOY, while in the
ranks of the socially prominent whose
names had not been mentioned there
was corresponding depression, sorrow
and tears.
The press and the pulpit took up
the new social alignment. Preachers
Numbered against the effort to create
an aristocracy in America" Some
newspapers denounced the thing and
others made fun of it. At least one,
and probably several, of the great
New York dailies treated the matter
seriously, and some of the Chicago
papers were wroth because only five
Chicago families were included in the
list of the exalted" 1t seemed to
annoy many of the critics that the
list said It was absolute and sub
ject to no revision whatever" This,
being on the authority of the College
of Heralds and Carew-Pole, was con-
elusive. There could possibly be no
appeal from so high social authorities.
That closed the door of hope to many
social climbers with bank accounts in
seven or eight figures.
It now transpires that the whole
thing was a joke, perpetrated on the
III families, and the country at large,
by three Chicago young men. ar. G.
Ponsonby Carew- Pole" is a Pigment of
the imagination. The alleged investi-
cation by the College of Heralds was
fictitious. The jokers prepared the
list in a Chicago back office, had it
engraved and printed and sent the
documents to a confederate in London,
who mailed them back to this coun-
try. Then the jokers subscribed to
a clipping bureau and waited. They
didn't have to wait long before the
fun commenced. Now that the expo
sure has come. the exalted III" may
cut loose their parachutes and come
back down to earth.

Iron Cost Too Much.

Senator Fair had two marked char
acteristics-economy and love of jok-
ing, says the San Francisco Call. He
never forgot frugality in his extensive
business, and he even made his own
economy a subject for humor
once while puttering around over the
Comstock he slipped and started feet
first down deep, narrow shalt. There
was long, continuous wooden ladder
reaching to the bottom, with its every
twelfth rung of iron to strengthen the
structure Down this he sped.
When l found myself sliding down
toward the center of the EARTH" said
the Senator, who used to enjoy telling
the story II thought it was time to
begin dom something. SO 1 COM
menced to grab at the ladder rungs.
AS l went down 1 broke every single
one of the wooden sticks. This checked
the speed of my fall, and 1 landed
bout a thousand feet below, badly
shaken up, but not hurt
But what did you do when you
came to the iron rungs?" he was
asked.

anybody to go into business for him

goln' to be for our children? They'll
have to be the slaves of a few peo-
pie that own everything. Prices keep
goln' up right along, but what about
wages? If they raise your income 10

add 90 per cent. to the cost of Twin.

GEN. KURoPATKIN A GREA'
SOLDIER.
From the London Spectator.

AOAii llAC A1OiluOA
In Gen. Kuropatkin the Russians
possess a general of the highest and
rarest order of military genius. In the
great battle around Lao Yang and in
the operations of the two months pre-
ceding it he showed qualities Of gen.
eralship which, when they are proper
ly understood, will, we believe, call
forth universal admiration.
Consider what the task before Gen.
Kuropatkin was when he took up his
command. It is true that he was I'M
able to hold the lines around LAO
Yang as Wellington held the lines at
Torres Vedras, but before he evacu-
ated his prepared position he forced
the Japanese to dash themselves
against 1t in a twelve days action,
which inflicted, at any rate, as great a
loss on the assailants as on the de-
tenders.
1t was, however, In HIS retreat from
Lao Yang, even more than in the bat
ties round 1t, that Gen. Kuropatkin
showed his military genius. He man
aged to withdraw his army in the face
of the enemy's fierce assaults and of
their desperate attempts to turn his
tanks, and also in spite of a difficult
country and of roads deep in mud.
And this he did without any loss in
guns Ut pIlSOilcEb liltb - worth con-
sidering. 1t is officially stated by the
Japanese that only thirteen prisoners
were taken. II this is indeed the full
tale. it is without parallel in the his
tory of war.
In Gen. Kuropatkin the Russians pos
sess a soldier who knows how to re-
treat in the face of the enemy with
out being destroyed or even suffering
any serious Generalization. After all.
that is the Russian tradition. The men
who retreated before Napoleon in 1912
were always being beaten in the field
and always falling back, and yet never
suffered the sort OF disaster and the
dispersion OF their force that the
French expected. 1t was the same
when Russia appeared to yield before
the impetuous onslaughts of Charles
XII. Kuropatkin is carrying on the
Russian military tradition In the mat
ter of retreat.
