Famous FubIes
By E. E. Edgar

ERROR - Poet Edgar
Guest began his newspaper
career on the Detroit Free
Press before the turn Of the
century. Some 40 years
later, during the depression,
he was making a princely
income from his syndicated
feature, but he still received
only a modest stipend from
the Detroit paper.
His son was also working
for the Free Press. as a re-
porter. One day. the younger
Guest received a salary
check for a small amount.
He took one look at 1t and
exploded.
Look at this check I just
got!" he said to his father.
do they think I'm working
for laughs around here?"
The elder Guest, whose
income ran into six figures.
took the check from him
and glanced at 1t.
Don't be insulted, son."
he said, putting it in his
pocket. "This Is for me".'
SECLUSION 49, Multimil-
lionaire banker George F.
Baker brought up his son
in an atmosphere of seclu-
sion. The boy had private
tutors and was permitted to
associate with only a few
select friends. When he
travelled with his father,
they invariably went by pri-
vate railroad car.
One time. when it was i'm
possible to arrange for the
private car, the elder Baker
took his son on a Pullman
AS they entered the crowded
train, the boy turned to his
father and asked:
Father, what are all
these people doing here?"
