ApR\ al The Chionlele POPULARITY By KIN HUBBARD Ever* Time I 8ee a Widely Pop'lar Feller Surrounded by a Lot o' Smllln' Coyotes I Allue Think o' That Dear Ole Lyric, "I'll Love You When Your Money's Gone, but I'll Not Be With You." Th' trouble with inoHt men nn' wom en who waste many a golden hour chusln' after popularity without finik in' any noticeable headway is that they're either lackln' In th' peculiar ities o' th' genuine or money. Ther's two kinds o' popularity ? th' real, inexpensive, natural finish, r>r un common variety, an* th' smilin', smirk in', flashy, shlmmerln' short-lived srtrt which depends entirely on an alert press agent an' one's wlllln'ness 4t' come across. While th' cost o' cultlvatln' popular ity an' coaxln' It along thro' Its early stages is often unreasonably hlgjh, th' expense entailed In malntalnln' It after It Is supposed t' be self sustalnin' is almost enough t' discourage even one who has weathered th' second year o' his tourln' car. Th' ultimate obscurity that serins f be th' Inevitable tare o' all who have known th' glamor of u brief. wasteful season o' popularity Is often pathetic. T' be suddenly, or even 'gradually, torn from those who ha\e laughed at your jokes, those who have used you an' fattened ??u your vanity, thovr who have got your vanity, those who have got Mn ad thro' your genero.-iiy an' finite who have shown you a good time no matter how inueh it cost you, Is one o' th' < omnion an' pitiable spec tacles (?' life. Loo??* at th' grand ole mansion that' has been turned int' a boanlii.' house because it no longer met th' require ments <?' th' gay throngs whoso laugh ter shook its great chandelier^ from the'r mornln's! T'day It is a shrine fer th' forlorn an' frazzled failures V society ? fruit tree agents, has-beens an' solicitors. IIow many people do you know who were owe poplar an' who, thro' some slip o' th' tongue, some breach <>' th' code or th' accidental display o' th' yeller feather, are carryln' th' banner t'day unmourned an' fergotten? Popularity Is Heel In'. It Is here t'day an' gone t'morrow. It vanishes he fore sudden adversity like a paper dol lar on Saturday night. Popularity Is like a babe. It must be nursed an' i cuddled lest it withers an' fades. As It thrives its upkeep increases. Th' fickleness o' th' American people Is too well known t' ever think fer a minute that your popularity is cinched. It's as hard t' build up a long neg lected popularity ?as it Is t' put a run down hotel back In th' game. 'I" keep his popularity in good run nln' order a feller should neglect his business t' help others. lie should give beyond his means. He should put up bammocbK fer others t' enjoy. lie should accept appointments on eom i milters an' take a deep Interest in all movements fer th' betterment o* oth ers. lie should ferglt who borrowed his I :i w it mower au' refuse t' run fer o/licc. lie should agree with ever'hud dy an' leaVr his opinions at home with his (roubles.

J , ,.w \t-x Broucher had a naturally uuplea* ttut way of expreHHlng himself wlteu thing* didn't go tu huit him Mud khiih foolish person once told hliu ilnii Uo was delightfully, wickedly tut mi title. That explained liliu. It In rather an awful thing when a uuin gets an 'Idea that ho Iiuh a gift for sarcasm. I If Im particularly apt to cuitlvute it. Broucher lifetime unpopular. lie was not really such a had sort of rei low. not even ill-tempered, hut he de veloped n sort of carping hahlt of speech for the umre frequent display of his gift and Ills associates nutu rally got down on him. It was In his lonelliK?Mfl that he be gan Ills wooing of Mlns Bardexter. the meek and amlahle little womau whose nimble, white lingers rattled over the keys of the typewriter In the office. Miss Bardexter rather admired Broucher's style of talk. Perhaps It was she who originally complimented him on It. Anyway. Broucher got into the hahlt of lingering about tier desk and saying wickedly sarcastic things about the other men in the office. The upshot of tho thing was that he married her. / But with the waning of the honey moon It was different. If anything went a little crossways he usually called attention to it, and of course a young housekeeper Is not an old one, and things will go a little crosa ways at ft^st. Then It was: ??Dearest. I have ob served with some pain that yoij are not sufficiently considerate of the feel ings of the young ludy who has so kindly consented to assist you In the care of the household.' You must re member that girls In domestic service have their feelings." "Why v Courtney, denr.l I nm sure I have always tried ? " "Yes, yes, I know. 1 don't think you meant to hurt .(her, but there Is that young man of hers and her girl friend and her1 young man In the kitchen now. I know they ar^ there because I hear them very plainly, Indeed. They have been there three nights hand running now. and you have uever once invited them to use the parlor and the piano, so that they have beeYi obliged to put up with the kitchen and a mouth organ. Don't you think It would be nice for you to go out and invite them in. . I'm afraid If I do It I shall be tactless." Mrs. Broucher would look at him timidly and hesitatingly, and he would sustain her look with an unpleasantly bland smile. Then she would go out to tho kitchen, and shortly after the sounds of revelry would cea^e. But Broucher was rn?t dissatisfied when a letter came announcing a visit from his mother-in-law whom he had never seen: he said ho 'would be more than delighted. "You see. we bore earh other so that any distraction Is welcome." la* said with a smile, and patted hi* wife on her plump cheek. I '.iit Mrs Bardexter arrived, hag nnd | hnggnire. f?>r ;i month's visit. and then ' ? well, there was no trouble; she was a mighty swi-i t and easy-tempered 1 woman. But ? <lio seemed to take i Ilnmcher so seriously. When he came down :i I i 1 1 1 ?? late and observed that | lie apprehended the eonsiderntion his - wife had shown in not waking Ultn, ? as he liked to be late at the office, oc I easionallv ? It looked Independent ? i then did Mrs. Bardexter exclaim: ? "Well 1 I should think you would be afraid they might not like It." j "You don't mean to say we have eggs. dear!" Broucher said a little later. "This Is Indeed a surprise. Nice I little change, isn't it?" # j "Kmmie said you had been having them so often lately that you were kind of sick of fhern," said Mrs. Bar dexter In n surprised tone. "What did you put that roast in the ! oven for, my own?" asked Broucher. | "You have warmed It almost through, I believe, and It would have been so ; much nicer quite raw. to say nothing of the gas you must have used. Haven't you n little really raw meat?" Mrs. Bardexter got up from the ta ble, went out and came back with a nice little piece of raw beefsteak. "Oh, mamma," stv4d Mrs. Broucher. "Courtney doesn't really like raw meat. lie was Just making fun. Ele likes it quite well done and I'm afraid it is Just a little bit undone." "Courtney, do you always mean what you don't say?" Inquired his mother-in-law. IIow could Broucher keep It up? Be couldn't All this happened In the first week and Mrs. Bardexter's stay was prolonged to five more. People with out any sense of humor are awfully trying, but there Is really no use In fighting against then^. "Courtney." said Mrs. Bardexter, when she was leaving for her home In Grand Ilapids, "when I first came t noticed that you talked very strange ly, bbt you don't do It any more and I'm glad of It for Emmie's sake and yours. I kind of think you were Jok ing, hnt Jokes like that hurt some peo ple's feelings. You can't make a real Joke out of a grumble and a mean thing Isn't any more pleasant because you sav it with a smile. That's all I've got to say. Now. don't tell me that you're going to raise the lake"1 level two inches with yonr tears for my departure, heran*e I shan't believe you." "1 would fell yon that," said Broucher. "but honestly, HI mlsg you, i and I hope- It won't be long before yon i come to visit qj> again. AntJ ? J be j lleve you've doae me good."
