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

his I :i w it mower au' refuse t' run fer

BROUCHWS SARCASM
By HAROLD BRONSON.
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."

In a (Jerinan wireless message whlcllj

Iwlieved that these eight Zepj>elirtH
four of which wore destroyed or rap
tured. were returning from ICughiud
and had lost their hearings owing to
: foy and probably 'had lost touch with
their wireless communications.
The lotf I m m ?k of the Zep]>eliu which
landed intact shows she had boon to
j KiiKhmd and prisoners from three alt
ships confirm this. One of the mou cap
j tureU said lack of gasoline forced hlsj
1 Zeppelin to descend.
The raid is widely proclaimed by
French observers as l>eing definite
proof of the su|H?riorlty of the airplane
j over the Zeppelin. The day, of Zep
pelins for bombardment, one expert
siiid, is over. The sudden resumption
of the use of the Oerman dirigibles]
: is explained by the theory that the
type recently reported to be In the
I %
j course of construction at. Lake Con
I stance. No ro|s>rts have yet been ro
I eeivod that the Zepj>elins dropped
j bombs anywhere in France.
j Of the four Zeppelins lost two were
destroyed and two were forced to de
scend. The two disabled airships, un
der attack by aviators and antl-alr
i defense posts, landed near Sisteron, in
! l?asses-AI|)os. The crews, after set
i tinu fire to the airships, attempted to
! flee but were taken prisoner.
