Show Rejects Title of "Hon." "I received a compliment yesterday for which I did not thank the giver," grumbled old Festus. Pester. "A total stranger wrote me a letter and addressed ad-dressed me as "the Hon." "I do not know why he should have applied that epithet to me, unless It was because he did not know me. I feel safe in saying that even my enemies ene-mies would not charge me with having hav-ing many of the characteristics of an Hon. "I am not a fawning, smirking blatherskite, blath-erskite, too lazy to work, nor am I a liar and dead beat. It may be that I have one attribute of an Hon. very likely I am a bore, but beyond that 1 am not guilty." Kansas City Star. |
