THE RHYMIN'G

" Of mirth, Jim Johnson
w used to say: 1.-THE sober
people own the earth, so I will not
be gay. I'd love to sing and dance
a bit and have my share Of fun;
but since that doesn't make hit,
the merry course I'll shun. I'd
vastly rather laugh than frown;
I'm really built for glee; but I'll be
glum as Mr.. Brown and get as
rich as ,hep' Then, shedding gloom
upon his trail, Jim johnson started
out; his scowl made merry people
quail, and filled glad souls with
doubt. But though he tried for
years this way Of being stern and
cross, his ledger showed 1t did not
pany, his business was loss. While
it was distasteful task, he made a
bitter fight, and bravely wore his
grouchy mask, his looks as black
as night. Then bills came in as
thick as hail and cash was~getting
slim and so friend Johnson voiced

I'll wear a lengthy face and scare

merry pace and laugh when humor

passing by his store heard Jimmy's

THE FAMOUS

Tim Healy, X. c., Ireland's

had the interests of the country
at heart. Forty years ago he
went to prison for making q
threatening speech; today he is
generally regarded as the wittiest
and wisest living Irishman. Be-
fore he began his political career
he was railway clerk.
Here's a story told of him:
Tiger Tim" as he is affection

Emmie in fact, had married her
old flame, Mr.. Tod Hartopp, only
four days after the Mottisront
wedding, and the news Of it had
been forwarded to them while
they were in France.

mic, eying them with a broad
smile. "Matterimony amt as bad

DIPLOMATS MUST
: ENTERTAIN WELL
Ambassador to England
Pays $4,000 for Dinner
to Royal Family.
NO FUNDS PROVIDED

The pomp of European courts has
not decreased noticeably since the war,
according to reports of American dip
lomats to the state department. Ameri-
can ambassadors are continuing their
com plants of inadequate salaries 20
meet the heavy drain of social enter
tainment, and are citing postwar
troubles of entertaining royalty at
functions which equal or surpass gilded
affairs of pre-war days in Europe.
For instance, the state dinner given
recently by George Harvey, American
ambassador to the Court of st. James,
to the British Royal family, set back
the American envoy something over
SIS, 000-for one dinner and trimmings
In fact, the trimmings constituted a
large part of the bill, which contained
an item of $3.50 alone for palms and
ferns given standing room in the
fire places of the American embassy
for the occasion.
Tradesmen Dictate to Host.
Tradesmen holding the Royal favor
have to be reckoned with in the enter
tainment provided by American diplo-
mats. The caterers are virtually
chosen for the American entertainer
by the lord chamberlain of the royal
palace, no unknown or plebeian chefs
being permitted to cook for or serve
the king or queen. Decorators, florists
and a train of other tradesmen having
the royal approval, also must be Sc
lected by the American host, and their
word, as we'll as their bills, goa long
way in directing the function. $685.
Entertainment occasionally of the
rulers of the nations to which they
are accredited in an unacceptable duty
of American diplomats, who are pro-
vided with no entertainment fund to
cover the costs of food and service,
A few are wealthy enough to bear ex-
traordinary expenditure for social en-
tertainment, but the poorer ones say
that the war has not toned down the
"class" of the required social duties.
The higher standing abroad of the
American dollar is said to help some
in bearing the expense, but in many
cases local tradesmen add to their
bills, in the cases of the "rich Ameri-
can" diplomats, more than sufficient
to meet the difference in the rate of
exchange.
