A Good Comeback.

Tom Moore, the poet, was the son of a Dublin grocer. Without any push ing on his part his genius and his un- affected manner made him welcome guest everywhere. All London went mad over him. On one occasion at a banquet he had made some brilliant witticisms. A snob. thinking to humil- late him, leaned over the table to the poet and quite audibly said, in a drawl- Ing tone:
 'Pway, sir, wasn't yuor father a grossah?"
 Moore smilingly replied that he was.
 Then, pway," continued the snob, "why didn't he make a grossah of you?"
 Moore quite affably retOrted, Wasn't your father gentfemanY'
 ''Of course he was,S was the rejoin- der.
