For An Idle Moment

Apropos uf the pretenslons of those
who might be counted as in society,
Mrs. Bloomfield Moore in her book
ON "SensibIe Etiquette, tells the
following story:
A snobbish young man and his sis-
ter after their return home from an
evening party, were criticising the
company, quite unaware that their
sensible old ncIe was lying awake in
his chamber and could hear every word
from where they stood in the corridor.
"Why, even the Grinders were
there and you know their father was
grocer: was never in such mixed
company" SAID the sister.
"And we will never be again, if |
can help it, answered the brother.
The uncle called out: "Children,
what do you think your grandfather
was? He was bootmaker, and some
people say not very honest one,
either. Now, go to bed"
''Tne late Ira ID. Sankey,' said a
veteran Pittsburg editor = to Leader
man, "once dined with me in Phila-
delphia. During the dinner he looked
about the restaurant, every table WAS
covered with glasses of white or red
wine, and said:
Z" There Is man drinking whole
bottle, full quart of champagne. 1t
is amazinfg what capacity for liquor
some men possess. And the man
with large capacity is actually proud
of it. Gould anything be more foolish,
more sinful?'
Then, with chuckle, Mr. SaDkey
told me about beggsr he had once
helped.
"The beggar had a red nose. and
Mr.. Sankey gave him 20 cents, say
ing at the same time:
Mind you, now, don't get drunk

Admiral Robley Evans tells the
following story against himself. He
had congressman for guest, and,
having run out of his favorite brand
of whiskey, made up with some he
could not guarantee. He explained
this. and aided:
"Here, however, is some brandy
that I've kept untouched for good
deal more than twenty years. -
"Hand ne over the whiskey de,
canter," was the rejoinder.
"Why?'' asked the admiral.
"What's the matte with the
brandy"
"That's what | want to know,
Bob," said the guest; '"but if you
have had it untouched in your posses
sion for more than twenty years there
must be something pretty bad the

W. Gates: His varied financial inter

and the news of his arrival was
bruited long before the event.
The good livers of the city assem-
bled in order to inaugurate poker
game. After much energy and dis

into the game. The Texans felt that
they had very large, not to say an
appalling. capital. A committee
waited upon the fnancier to inform
him that such game was in progress
and that they were ready for him.
Gentlemen, said he, ''I have

duced a quarter. Gentlemen, he
said, "I'll toss you for the $40, 600. 3"
The committee melted away.
