about our American fondness for titles.
"Ton all know of tbe colonel," be
said, "who got bis title by inheritance,
having married Colonel Brown's wid
ow? But I once met a general who got
his title neither by inheritance, nor by
service, nor by anything you could

"'General.' I said to him. 'bow do
you com by this title of yours, any

youth In tbe flour trade and for twen
ty-seven years was a general miller.'
"I know aoo'tber titled man, Judgf

Judge?
" 'I ain't neither.' he replied. 'I'm a
