Too Many Prominent People.

We desire to call attention to the
alarming increase in prominent peo-
pie. If this thing keeps up we shall
all be hopelessly involved. There
was a time when it was possible to
know practically all of the prominent
people there were. For instance, in
the old Roman days you could keep
track of Julius Caesar up in Gaul, and
Cicero, Lucullus. Horace. vergil and
all the others that were worth know.
ing could almost be counted ON the
fingers Of both hands.
But today everybody is more or less
prominent, and becoming more so.
The only solution that we can think
of Is to become acquainted with the
people who are not prominent. They
fill small but select society and they
are better people to know. anyway.
They have modesty and are not push
ing themselves forward, and they wear
better in the long run.-Life.
