More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
HOW THEY GOT IN
Voting Francis Forthy Fortescue
Has smart relations by the doxen,
His (ice is long, his blood is blue,
Hit uncle was the king'i ninth cousin.
Were you a gambler you would bet
That no young man has better chances
To move in Vincent Astor's set
And be a social swell than Francis,
Vet in a flat liou)e he repines,
For though these folks are far below him,
At Vanderbilt's he never dines
And J. P. Morgan doesn't know him.
He's strong on breeding, looks and rank;
He's both a gentleman and scholar,
But he larks standing in the bank,
For Francis hasn't got a dollar.
Mike Quinn laid bricks some years ago ,
And never beard of a cotillion;
His hands are rough, his brow is low, '
But he has piled up ninety million.
Just now he's outside looking in,
But don't regard him with compassion,"
You .h)ii will read of Michael Quinn
Among the news of folk of fashion.
At Newport there is much hauteur
Among the people who are met there:
Their "a's" are broad, their "r's" they slur.
But it was cash that helped them get there.
Though wealth tdday is not enough
Alone to give, men social station.
You'll find that, necks were pretty rough
In Swelldom's earlier generation.
. "SAFF. . ,
Japan agrees to the open door in China now that she has built a high
board fence around it. ' ' ' ,
WHAT TH&Y RE USED TO.
New York flat dwellers ; can't understand why the income tax isn't
collected a dollar down and a dollar a month. '
NOW THEY UNDERSTAND IT.
Mexico has taken up base ball. What happened in' the 1919 series
convinced the Mexicans that they are well adapted to it.

His Experiences
Declare He Was Threatened
With Death Unlets He Told
What Was Happening Be
" hind the Lines.
Madison, W. Va., Sept. 5. Magis
trate Mitchell of Logan, who was
captured a week ago by the insur
gents, todav told what he saw back
of the lines. Four deputy sheriffs
w ho were taken with hint were at
Jeffry where they were surrendered
to the military forces.
"We were taken prisoners lat
Sunday," the magistrate said. "We
had become separated from other
Logan forces in the hills. Armed
men w ho approached us ordered
'hands up' and informed ut that we
were prisoners.
"All Sunday night they questioned
us and threatened us with death un
less we told them what .was happen
ing on the Logan side. After that
we were treated better, but were
held under armed guard in the
woods. From time to time our
guards would move us from place
to place.
"The men there had a good supply
of rifllcs and ammunition and a
number of automobiles. Most of
the fighters I knew to be miners,
but quite a number of them ex
soldiers who went into it just as an
adventure. 1 would judge that
there were about 3,500 fighttrs on
the miners' side."
He said they had been fed on
bread and beans.
