The old fashioned writer's Oh So

non-Socialists alike, been guilty
of snobbery. The non-Socialist

its performance of manual labor,
must be inferior to the rest of the
community in instruction, i'll
speech and manners, in clothing,
housing and mode of life general

to the other differently employed
and reared class of the communi-
ty. This idea of the superiority
of the proletariat (0r working

being generally summed up as the

HOW A GENERAL BECAME
A COLONEL.

An intimate friend of former
General, now antColonel.
Townshend, was telling us the
other day how this chief, who has
lived among us some nineteen
years, stepped down the military
ladder.
"It was on the birthday Of Gen
eral Townshend,-Our friend said
and he was celebrating it at a
dinner with a few of us, his ia
innate friends. In the midst OF
our JOY some one from outside ap-
preached the General and deliver
ed to him an envelope whose con-
tents was telegram. The General
read it by himself, and without
showing any emotion, begged OF
lus few seconds excuse, stepped
out of the room, and shortly after
return, with his coat showing the
insignia of Lieutenant Colonel, in
stead of those of General, which
he had borne up TO a little while
ago.
