All Were NotabIes,


Hon. Joseph Chamberlain and Lord
Rosebery We're returning from the the
alter one night. While crossing the
street they were accosted by a ragged
boy who, after sweeping the mud from
their path, asked for aims.
Lord Rosebery was about to give the
boy a coin when an idea struck him.
MY boy said Rosebery, IF you will
hit that policeman Il swat on the back
with your muddy broom l will give
you 10 shillings' Prompt to the word
the boy crept in back of the officer and
raising his broom, struck him In the
back, then turned and ran, but, to the
diSmay of ROSebery, the officer caught
the boy after Il chase of few yards.
Not wanting to leave the boy in a
fix, Rosebery tried to fix things up
with the officer, but the worthy gentle
man would not listen and took them
all three up to the station.
They were taken before the judge of
the station, and, after surveying them
through his glasses, he took down a
book and, turning to Chamberlain,
asked his name. Hon. Joseph Cham
berlain," was the reply, and the judge
smiled.
Rosebery responded also with his full
title, Lord Rosebery."
The boy was next and, stepping to
the front, he drew himself up to his
full height and waited for the usual
question, Your name?"
"My name|' said the boy. "Well,
Judge, I'm not the kind as what goes

Il b"shct % sport. ciety Is all
right. l don't want you to get me
mixed up with those long haired and
frayed trousers ninconpoops who claim
to think society IS one Of the de-
vices of the gentleman with the red
tights and the ove.lra:rl griGdle Not
on your lie I've got nothing against
society. It would be mighty lone
some world without 1t. What would
our newspapers do? But that's getting
away from the main road.
The point I want to get into your
pretty little thinking box is that socie-
ty is good thing so long as you stay
in your own class. Yes, yes, my dear,
know you're as good as anybody else.
My personal opinion Is that you're n
whole lot better than anybody else, eX-
cept your mother. But you haven't got
quite as much money as some people
know, and that's the thing that makes
class distinctions in this country so far
as society, strictly speaking, Is concern
ed. Take us Americans up and down
the social ladder and we're pretty
much the same. Mrs. Smith on the bot
tom round is just as good and sweet
and sensible, possibly just as refined
and accomplished, as Mrs. Van Twiller
at the top. The difference is purely a
matter of dollars.
Depends on BilIy's Rating.
And that brings me around to you
and Billy. Now, don't know anybody
on this green earth better entitled by
beauty and grace and intelligence to
shine in the very tiptop heaven of So
cicty than is my daughter. That's no
talfy, little girl. That's the real goods,
straight as footrule. But these
things are not accepted as standard
OF measurement It's Billy's rating in
Duns or Bradstreet's that does the
work. If he's AL In the financial regis
ter he's pretty well qualified to rank
as Al In the social register. The trou-
Bile with Billy Is that he isn't Al or
even II. He might sing the old Sun
day school song, rs My Name Written
There?" and get negative answer, for
Billy trains with the great majority
and doesn't figure in the financial re-
ports. Consequently his place and your
place in the social scale are some dis
lance below the top. And the quicker
you get your location surveyed and
make up your mind to play In your
own yard until your bank account JUS
titles a move the better it will be for
both of you in more ways than can be
indicated by dollars and cents.

he wonders where he's going to raise

raising chickens for pleasure. l know
It's for pleasure because he graciously
permits his wife to do all the work.
At least l suppose it's his wife. Any
how, she wears faded red sunbonnet,
one Of those Japo- American kimOnOs
that stop just a little too quick, and
an air of authority that is quite I'M
mistakable. There are a number Of
pens or runs or whatever they call
them in this back yard. and each is oc-
cupied by a lot of birds of feather.
One pen however, Is evidently reserv-
ed for a bunch in which the owner
fakes special pride. don't know
what kind of chickens they are-Polled
Angus maybe-but they're swell birds
all right, and they are fed on the fat
of the land, while their neighbors must
be content with the crumbs that fall
from Dives table.
In one of the adjoining pens, how
ever, was an ambitious young pullet
who thought she was something of a
swell herself and wanted to get into
the push mighty bad. She was bigger
and handsomer and could cackle louder
than some Of the aristocrats on the
other side Of the fence, so why not?
After sizing up the height of the bar
rier she took a running jump, butted
into the wire and fell to the ground,
with great squawking and Hopping
of wings. Not discouraged by failure,
she tried again and again and finally
got high enough and sailed majestically

trouble amt with society; it's the get
