But they? AS matter Of fact they the result
of privilege; the fruit of monopoly.
Perkins appears to have had the steel trust chiefly in
mind. Let take that example,

DAILY SHORT STORY

Mr.. Trip stood watching them

| breath came quick and short, like
the automobile putting outside, and
mother put up her glasses and
stared at Freddy in the real Turn.

Miss TURNKEY" he said, quite
dignified like. Il have just inform
ed your parents that | have lost all
my money in the bank wreckings,
and am now poor man, and l have
! the honor to release you from your
| engagement
Then sister began to tremble and
she kept twisting her ring round
and roun upon her finger and just
| then Freddy Wayne butter in and
said, sneering like:
my dear Mr.. Trip, have al

ing that information to Miss Turn.

in that case" said the miserable
Trip, permit me to wish you all
a very good evening""
MY dear man, please don't wish
us anything so ridiculous said
mother, raising her eyebrows ana
looking at him in the real Turnkey
way.
J Mr.. Trip didn't seem able to UNI
tell her how he'd lost everything
he had in the world, and how he'd
| always known he wasn't up to the
Turnkey standard, and how glad he
was to release sister from her en-.
gagement.
Sister looked at him in astoniSh-
ment and she advanced a few steps
and said:
"Mr. Wayne, when gentlemen
call on me in the evening, | like
them to come through the front
door. When you come back that
way, | shall always be glad to wei.
come you and so will my husband"
Mr.. Trip didn't know what to
make Of that and he stood lingering
! his hat, SO sister went up to him
and looked at him in the way that
makes fellow feel cheap when
he's the third party. l guess that's
the way Freddy Wayne felt, any.
how, for he just walked out without
saying word.
Then mother turned to Mr.. Trip
and said, patting his arm:
Now let's all go i'm to supper.
Gee! sometimes do feel glad
that I'm a Turnkey, after all.

|. HIS BABYHOOD.

In spite of the years he after.
ward attained, Methuselah was born
very young. He was the cutest
mite Of humanity you could imag
inc, Enoch, his father, a callow
young husband of 300, was the
proudest man on earth that day
and opened box of stogies for the
boys down to the crossroads
Enoch was that chesty he wanted to
take the little tad out in the per.
ambulator the sixteenth year to
show him off, but you may we'll be-
lieve Mrs. Enoch did not let him
thus risk the life of the pink bit
of humanity.
Next to his father it was hard to
say who was the most proud and
excited over the arrival of young
Methuselah-his grand dad Jared
aged 462, or his great-grand dad
Mahalaleel, aged 527 or his great
great-grand dad Cainan, aged 597,
or his g-g-g-grand dad Enos, aged
6S7, Or his g-g-g-g-grand dad Seth,
aged 1872, or his primal
grand dad Adam, then 922.
A picture of the kid and the
bunch of venerable ancestors was
run in the local paper labeled, IRE.
markable Group of Eight Genera
tions! Who Can Beat It?" The
grand parents bickered a spell over
the honor of providing the infant
with a set Of gold plated racket
store baby pins, but they finally
Clipped in together and got him a
set by the time he was 10 years old.
Methuselah made a distinct hit
when he cut his first tooth at the
precocious age of IS, but g-g-g-g-g-
or-primaLgrand dad Adam did not
