One« there was a Kid who wore a Uniform that fit him too Soon and a Cap on one Ear. His Job waB to an- •wer the Buzzer and take Orders from any one who could show 25 Cents. In the Morning he might be acting as Pack Pony for some Old Lady on a Shopping Spree and in the Afternoon be would be delivering a Ton of Coal. He had been waved aside by Butlers and ordered about by Blonde Stenog raphers and joshed by Traveling Sales men until his Child-Nature was as bard and flinty as that of the She- Purser in a swell Tavern who lately has cashed one that proved to be Phoney. In answering the Call of Duty he bad gone to the Dressing Room and taken a private Fash at the Maga zine Beauty before she began to at tach the Hair or spread the Enamel. He bad stood in the private Lair of the Sure-Thingers when they were cooking up some new Method of col lecting much Income without moving out of their Chairs. He had stood by while Husbands, with the Scotch standing high in the Gague, collaborated on the Lie which was to pacify little Katisba, waiting in the Flat. Before delivering this Masterpiece of Fiction he would have to do a lit tle Sherlocking and finally locate Katisha in one of those places where they serve it in Tea-Cups. In the Homes of the Rich and Great where he delivered Orchids and Invi tations and perfumed Regrets he would overhear Candid Expressions which indicated that every Social With a Comrade In Misery. Leader was trying to slip Knock-Out Drops into somebody else's Claret Cup. Around the Haunts of Business he would stand on one Foot while the Boss Carefully worded the Message which was to read like a Contract while leaving a Loop-Hole about the size of the Hudson Tunnel. One night the Kid was returning homeward with a Comrade In Misery. As the Trolley carried them toward that portion of the City where Chil dren are still in Vogue, they fell to talking of the Future and what it might have in Store for a Bright Boy who could keep on the Trot all day and sustain himself by eating Cocoa- 'Nut Pie. The Comrade hoped to be a Vaude ville Actor, but the Kid said, after some Meditation: ''During the past Two Years I have mingled in ail Grades of Society, and I have decided to round out my Career by being a Deep-Sea Diver." MORAL—A little learning is dangerous thing and a good deal of is Suffocating. The New Fable of the Cousin Who Be came Cognizant of Our Short comings. On the deck of a Trans-Atlantic Skiff a certain Old Traveler, who owed allegiance to George and Mary, reclined on his Cervical Vertebrae with a Flaid Shawl around him and roasted Our Native Land. Ho told the American In the next Steamer Chair that he had been un- able to get his Tea at the usual Hour and out In that place called Minnie- Apples the stupid Walter never had heard of Bloaters for Breakfast. Furthermore, he had not seen his Boots again after placing them cut- side the Door in Chicago. The Houses were overheated and the Railway Carriages were not like those at Home and the Reporters were Forward Chaps and Ice should not be added with the Soda, because It was not being Done. He was glad to escape from the Wretched Hole and get back to his own Ixtdgings, where he could go Into Cold Storage and have a Joint of Mut ton and Brussels Sprouts as often as desired. AOe The Yankee cringed under the At tack and then fully agreed with the Son of ambitious Albion. He said wa were a new and crude People who did not know how to wear Evening Clothes or eat Stilton Cheese and our Politi cians were corrupt and Murderers went unpunished, while the Average Citizen was a dyspeptic Skate afflict ed with Moral Strabismus. Then he retired to bis State Room to weep over the Situation and the Brit ish Subject said: ''The American is a Poltroon, for he will not defend his own Hearth and Fireside.” A Cook's Tourist from Emporia, Kansas, dropped into the Vacant Chair. When the Delegate from The Rookery, Wormwood Sc.ubs, Isling, S. E., resumed his scorching Arraign ment of the U. S. A., he got an aw ful Rise out of the Boy from the. Corn Belt The Emporia Man said there were more Bath Tubs to the Square Mile out in bis Burg than you could find in the West End of London and more Paupers and Beggars in one Square Mile of the East End of London than you could find in the whole State of Kansas. He said there were fewer Murders in England because Good Op portunities were being overlooked. He said he could Tip any one In England except, possibly, the Arch bishop of Canterbury. It was his unbiased Opinion that London consisted of a vast Swarm of pelancholy Members of the Middle and Lower Classes of the Animal Kingdom who ate Sponge Cake with Seeds in it, drank Tea, Smo*ked Pipes and rode on Busses, and thought they were Living. Standing beneath the rippling folds of Old Glory the proud Citizen of the Great Republic declared that we could wallop Great Britain in any Game from Polo up to Prize-Fighting and if we cut down on the Food Supplies the whole blamed Runt of an under sized Island would starve to death in a Week. With quivering Nostrils, he heaped Scorn and Contumely upon any Race that would call a Pie a Tart. In con clusion he expressed Pity for those who never tasted Com on the Cob. After he had gone up to the Bridge Deck to play Shuffle-Board, the Rep resentative of the Tightest little Island on the Map took out his Note-Book and made the following entry: Every Beggar living in the States is a Bounder and a Braggart." That evening in the Smoke Room he began to pull his favorite Specialty of ragging the Yanks on a New Y®rker, who interrupted him by saying: “Real ly I know nothing about my own Coun try. I spend the Winter in Egypt, the Spring in London, the Summer in Carlsbad, and the Autumn in Paree.” So the Traveler afterward reported to a Learned Society that the Typical American had become a denatured Ex patriate. MORAL—No Chance. The New Fable of the Two Brothers, The Even Start and the Con trasting Termini. In a Flag Station the Job of Tele graph Operator is about the Limit of Earthly Ambition. Therefore two Boys living in a weedy Hamlet began to hang around the Depot and learn the Morse Alpha bet. In due time each became a regular Railroad Man with Calico Sleeves and a Tooth-Brush in his upper Vest Pocket. They were transferred to the Junc tion and began to have dealings with the Old Man himself and cuss when No. 6 balled up the Schedule. Being quick on the Trigger and good at sizing up Men. they got into the Operating Department and each had a Card-Case full of Annuals. One accepted an Offer to go up into Canada and crack the Whip over a Line being projected by British Capi talists who were too well-bred to get out in their Old Clothes and prod the Help. The other remained in the Land of his Birth to push an Extension into the Northwest. Each delivered the Goods In his own Bailiwick—spanning tho turbu lent Streams, filling the deep Hollows, boring through the Hills and bring ing a new Empire out of the lone some Wilderness. When the Gauk who had been trans formed into a Canuck cleaned up on the big Assignment, the Directors gave him a Dinner and the King sent for him to come up to the House and kneel on one Knee and be dubbed the Earl of Saskatchewan. The Brother wanted to attend the ceremony, but he had to send his Re grets as he was in Jail at the time. Moral: Only a few receive Title® but many are Indicted. Floor-Walkers.
