READY TO MEET THEM ALL

Girl 'Had Idea That Introduction to Distinguished Englishman With Peculiar Name Was a Joke. Colonel Younghusband, hero of the British expedition to Lhassa, and the first white man who ever entered Thibet’s sacred city, is rather embarrassed at times because of bis unusual name. “The trouble is,” he said the other day, “that frivolous young people refuse to take your name seriously. At that, I think I have the advantage over Lord Sandwich, whose name also seems to be a subject for jest. While in Washington once Lord Sandwich attended a reception at the British embassy. He was introduced to an American girl, who labored under the delusion that the Introduction was a Joke. But she was not to be taken in, ‘Lord Sandwich/ she exclaimed. Tn delighted to meet you. I suppose Lord Spongecake or Lord Pie will be here next’ 1 -” A man seldom gets any pleasure out of a thing that doesn’t separate him from some of his money.
