FAMOUS FABLES
BY e. e. EDGAR

ECONOMY: English actor
manager Sir Herbert Beer.
bohm Tree spared no expense
in the preparation Of his
productions.
On one occasion, he spent
such huge sums that his
hackers threatened to with
draw their financial support
unless he cut expenses. Tree
looked about desperately for
q way to effect economies.
For two days, he went over
the script with q careful eye.
Finally ne came up with an
idea. In the last act, one Of
the actors came on stage car
rying q Scent newspaper un-
der his arm. Tree changed
this to a 1-cent paper.
WAIT: Millionaire specu-
lator John w. "Bet-a-Mil-
lion" Gates won and lost for
tunes at the gaming table.
One night in Saratoga
Springs, he invited a lady
friend to dinner. He waited
for her in the hotel lobby, but
she was late in making her
appearance. Gates became
impatient and stepped into
the casino for q quick turn
at the roulette wheel.
An hour later, he saw the
lady emerging from the ele-
vator and he cashed in his
chips. For fear Of spelling her
evening, he did not tell her
that her failure to be prompt
had cost him $150,000.

THE COUNCILS VIEW
A family catering to the
childish whims Of q tyrrani-
cal man in the hope of q
large inheritance deserves to
be at the mercy of those
whims. 1t is more than likely
that the old man will pass
on his estate to a pet cat in
one Of his temper fits.
If Rhoda wants to live her
life on this level and have
relationships Of this childish
sort, we think she has chosen
the right young man for it. It
is possible to live a fuller,
more interesting life by try
ing to create relationships
based on real interest and
respect for another person -
not simply on what can be
taken from him.
1t is quite likely that Uncle
Karl has other facets TO his
personality. He may we
knowledge and interests that
Rhoda knows nothing about.
We suggest that she find out
about these things and offer
her uncle some real respect
on a more mature and hu-
man level. If she does, she
may find that the man will
show her and her fiance
respect and interest in re-
turn.
If George is willing to risk
losing the girl of his choice
because he can't "knuckle
under" enough to apologize
to an elderly man he had no
right to insult. we don't
think much is at stake in the
relationship.

This is true only in the late

owns Q place in Sea Bright,

The owner is the young
est Of eight children born
to q mill hand in Holyoke,
Mass. He grew up suspicious.
Once he sold 10000 news
papers on the premise that
the paper would give him q
violin free. He got the nd
die and studied assiduously.
One night he was playing q
symphonic version Of Pop

father looked up from his
evening reading and said:

Jim buried it. He never

since. In the war, for ex-

After the war. James was
in Florida on q toot. A
woman said she had q mynah
bird named Willy, and would
Mr.. Sullivan like him for
about $50. Jim said no, that
he lived in a trailer and, with
all the rocking. q bird would
flip his feathers.
Still. he took q look. He
said, Hello, Willy, what's
good at Hialeah7" willy, who
looks like the inside Of q
coal mine at midnight,
cooked an eye at Sullivan and
chirped: "One A." Sullivan
said that the bird was q
phony tout and didn't even
know the morning line.
He went to the track with
the bird lady and, in the fifth
race. there was an entry. Jim
played Ia and it came home
in front and paid $40 for
each 50. He had $3.50 and
he bought Willy. He had
planned to blow the $50 on
the bird lady, but he figured
he was better of with Willy,
so they headed north out Of
Miami, with Willy in q cage
on the front seat.
His wild wolf whistles
started trouble at a trefic
light in Jacksonville and al
most got Mr.. Sullivan arrest

that the bird should be free
and that Sullivan should be
