Not In Her Class.

The eagles were holding a convention—or it might have been merely a caucus—on the rocky crest of a lofty hill. Proud regal birds they were, piercing of eye, sharp of beak and strong of claw, and all the timid creatures of the air retreated to a safe distance and watched them with awe. Presently, however, a wandering turkey buzzard, attracted by curiosity, ventured to join them. They eyed her scornfully, even threateningly. “What are yon doing here?” they said. “This is a gathering of eagles. You are a vulture and are not in our class.” “You are right,” replied the turkey buzzard. “I am of some use In the world, while you are thieves, robbers and murderers and not worth a continental except for show. Goodby, and be hanged to you!" Thereupon she turned her back upon them and flew away. Which shows, dear children, that there are two kinds of aristocracy and that a lofty style Isn’t everything.— Chicago Tribune.
