There Is q, young man who, havtnl
| grown into sturdy and good looking
manhood has become so enamored o.
himself that he fails either to see o.
speak to acquaintance.
We pass discussion of this common
phenomenon. What interests us is hi
failure to utilize the two most distin'
guished traits of his distinguished
father.
The Old Man is, above all, shrewC
and affable. The fact that he is afYablt
shows that he is shrewd. It is only the
young whippersnapper in business whit
sticks his head into the air.
The amazing thing is that industry i
filled with these young fools. who some
how have got the idea that God only
created one in His image.
The curious thing is that such yount
fellows often are by no means the son.
Of rich men, nor are they possessed o.
any peculiar ability.
Yet there is perhaps no establishment
in which at least one of this branc
does not crop up annually.
Often enough he crops out, too, be.
fore the year is over. What else could
be expected?
Sometimes he reforms. and then you
see real guy, as the expression has it
for the very qualities which made 6
semi-snob out of him combine to make
him worthwhile, when kept in place.
This specimen is only q semi-Snob
not the real dyed-in-the-wool snob
The true snob, perhaps best grown in
England, has something charming about
him.
He is so high-and-mighty that even
those who resent his manner and
actions tend to respect him for them.
The real snob in action and repose
shows the instincts of a gentleman
always respected in this rough world OF
ours.
The semi-snob, or imitation snob
only apes so much of the real Snob's
manners and behavior as to enable
him to vent his spleen on the world for
being no farther advanced in 1t than
he is.
The semi-snob invariably makes the
careful observer feel as II he were try
ing to conceal something. He is the
sort OF person who invariably Is
ashamed Of his fine old parents. who
may have hewed wood and taken In
washing to put him through college.
All that higher education does for
him Is to make him-and God forgive
him for it!-ashamed of persons who
cut wood and who take in washing.
Once we knew q young man whose
parents, In humble circumstances, did
as much for him, and he rewarded them
by turning the conversation with his
snappy young friends when the subject
OF parents came up.
n X
The young man in business who puts
on exalted airs-generally over moth
ing-ls making q big mistake.
How can he tell, at the beginning
OF his career, who will be able to help
him?
Often. the very man upor whom his
success will hinge is an inconspicuouS
gentleman without bells, who does not
blow his own horn and who above ali
makes no speciality Of helping ambitious
young fellows.
He helps them, just the same.
He goes out Of his way to help them.
but he seldom gets a chance to help
this type, for the good and simple
reason, as Penrod said, that the young
man will not let him.
No doubt this unfortunate manner
Is put on in certain instances to cover
up shy nature. This is unfortunate
ShynesS, even in men, and even in
men in business, is not a bad sort of
trait. Some Of the biggest men in

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Great and Glorious Day.
When first we established the Fourth
OF July
AS a date of historical fame,
Our forefathers' statements no one
could deny.
They rank in respect stu the same.
Those words immense
OF truth profound
Showed wealth of sense
And not much sound.
We're sending the rocket up into the
sky.
explosions we gayly arrange.
Our patriotism no one can deny,
Though its ways of expression seem
strange.
Joys that abound
In moods intense
Are sometimes sound
Instead Of sense.

Ireland's Chance to
Profit in World Markets.

Irish Independent, Dublin. Beef
mutton and lamb are going to cost the
British housekeeper more, for the rea-
son that there Is a world shortage. In
quiries In the British and Irish mar
kets show that there has been a grad
ual increase in the price of all classes
OF meat, imported and homegrown,
during the past few months There Is
also no immediate prospect that the
public will be able TO buy more cheaply
This decline is not merely a passing
phase, but Is attributed to many causes.
A score of years ago the United States
was large beef-exporting country. To-
day she is q big importer, her supplies
coming from Australia, Canada and
New Zealand. There are 1000, 900 head
OF cattle less in the United States than
seven years ago. With production de-
creasing and population increasing in
beef and mutton raising countries, it is
Irelands chance to profit in the worlds
depleted markets.
