For the elegant, long-lineaged Mr.
Coco is a baltoon.
He is a baboon veneered with mod
ern society manners. He hns easily
mastered those few thin conventions
that distinguish the common baboon
from the ordinary swell.
Mr. Coco drinks tea or cocktails
with a deftness and indifference that
marks the highest culture. He wears
his dress suit with on easy obvious
ness that charms the ladies and driv
es the mere men with not more than
one or two generations of soft-hand
ed gentility back of him mad with
envy. Mr. Coco shakes hands in tl»e
latest approved fashion. His smile
lights his face into geniality and in
telligence quite rare in exclusive cir
cles. IIo drives an automobile and
spends much leisure time driving in
the parks in a brougham.
Mr. Coco Is the rage. Swell women
fawn upon him. No high social affair
is complete without him. He strik
ingly illustrates how little of brain
and of human quality is needed to
make a great swell-

name If It had only been spoken in • sit Ion to look down upon them from •
reverence, and thereby hangs a beau- j high life and patronizingly discuss
tiful lesson, a life’s story with scarce- I them in much the same sort of chat-
ly more words than years. The wri
ter has the honor of the old gentle
man’s acquaintance. In the morning
of life he left his ancestral. home In
Tennessee, came west and in a tangled
forest built a cabin. The walls were of
hewn logs, notched down close at the
comers to keep out the piercing winds
of winter, arid the floor was of ^plit
puncheons. There the young pion
eer loved his family, served God, and
lived peacefully In the little home
built with his own hands and beauti
fied with busy fingers.
Nearly fifty years have leaped the
dark precipice into the tomb of ages;
the log cabin has changed into a neat
cottage with a shingled roof, vine-
clad windows and carpeted floor, tho
forest has disappeared, and the broad
acres bless the garden with a bounti
ful harvest when pompous autumn
smiles and the withered banners of
the corn are still.
“Only an old farmer.”
One of the many who have tolled
for home and food and substance,
fostered civilization, revolutionized
commerce, fed nations, pampered
kings, and heapened the granaries of
a thrifty people. Go home, weary
toiler, to your quiet home, "over the
hills and far away,” around whose
hearthstine the ghosts of burled
hopes, fallen virtues and broken vows
do not throng, and over whose thresh
old the vulture of dissipation never
flew. The merchant prince in his
counting room, or the cattle baron
wMk his “cattle on a thousand hills,”
t greater or moro blessed than
Vrehonest farmer who Is king of his
fireside. A residence in the throng
ed city may be palatial and grand,
but after all, the peaceful home among
the flower-clad hills of the country
is dearer, and he sun bronzed hand
that guides the plow and sows the
seed and garners the harvest holds
In his brawny clasp the wondrous
key that unlocks the storehouse of
the world.
“Only an old farmer.”
Gray haired and grand old gentle
man! • The fair forms of children
clamber on his knee, nestle In his
arms and bless the fleeting years with
tho prattle of innocence;; field and
forest tan his tawny cheek with the
sweet odor of the morning, and tho
dew-gemmed flowers bathe nnd kiss
his feet at evpntlde. Totter on,
"pale wanderer to that hollow vale,”
wearing a crown or tufted snow and
a garland of wrinkles won in the bat
tle of life. Tho black wings of death
will put out the light and herald the
awful night of gloom, but fold thy
placid hands In peace; it has touched
the string In the harp of life that set
the world a throbbing; and more, it
built a little home and fought the
wolf from tho door, helped the penni
less and forged a link in tho golden
chain that leads from earth to heav
en. Then gather around the drop
ping mantle of purity woven of good
deeds, and he soul of the "old far
mer” shall exist through eternity as
It has lived through these last seven
ty years, honest and simple and free.
