~ Male Responsibilities. The
first, named Abraham Lin
coin Tibbetts, was born while people
still remembered the Civil War. His
name was promptly abbreviated to
Link.
The second was christened Ulysses
Simpson Grant Tibbetts. in honor Of
the Hero who took Vicksburs and
Straight Bourbon. This was too
long, 80 people called him Club.
The third went into the Family
Bible as Arthur Tibbetts. but in the
interest Of Euphony he was dubbed
Art. because Art Ia Long.

City. and Link. the first.born, en-
joyed all the Advantages Of Life In
an Apartment Building.
He went to a Graded School and
picked up 50 much knowledge that
at the age of IL he could set his
Parents down in front Of him and
tell them Things they did not know.
At II he was 30 far along that he
knew how to lie in Bed and have his
Mother bring his Breakfast UP to
him. He went to Dancing School
and learned to play all the "Ermine"
music on the Cottage Organ. Some
times he chided Mr.. and Mrs. Tib-
betts for not having as much Money
as many Of the People he met at
Dancing Parties. He had about a.
much Application as q used-up Po-
rous Plaster.
Mr.. Tibbetts gave him . Desk at
the Office and called him Assistant
Something. His Duties consisted OF
looking at the Clock and writing
Notes to the Gazelles he had met
tho Night before. II he, had been
set out on the Pavement and told to

Link was whatever they called .
Rummy in 1895. Mr.. Tiboetts real
lied that City Liza had an enervat-
ing Effect on Boys and made them
Superficial and Wise in their own
Conceit.
Club was eight years old end had
not yet succumbed to the Matinee
Habit, 90 his Parents decided to
ship him out to the Green Fields
and keep him there until he had
developed a Character. Mr.. and Mrs.
Tibbetts knew that all the men OF
Sterling Worth, mentioned In Polit-
zeal Biographies, had been raised on
the Farm. They figured that IL
Club could be left in the country
to run with the Live Stock he would
grow up to be Sturdy and self
relient Character, with no banker
ing for Soda Pop and the Military
Schottische.
Therefore Club was sent out to
live with Uncle Jabez Quackenbush.
an Agriculturist who owned $50
Acres and was still wearing the
Army Overcoat that the Government
had given him when the War broke
out. Club slept on Feather Tick
up in a room where they had had
the Seed Corn hung on the Rafters.
Uncle Jabez would yank him out
at 4:3o q, M. and keep him in the
Field until early Candle-lighting, so
that usually he had two Meals in the
Dark. On Sunday he and the Hired
Help would sit In the Hay Now and
read Almanacs. In the Winter he
attended District School and
learned to bound Patagonia. but hi

amazement I found the children
smoking in the classrooms during
school hours; they were using the
vilest language imaginable; they in

neither feared nor respected. found
in the schools a great deal Of de-
moralization and immortality.
THE workers are producing practi-
cally nothing. While being engaged
on government work as tailors or
shoemakers many Of them were pro-
ducing lighters, for matches are very
scarce, and there Is a great demand
for these lighters, which sell at good
prices.

appears the workmen resume their
work for a while, but as soon as the
inspector walks away the worixmen

years as a tailor IN the United

their eyes constantly on the goods
