Empty Titles.
William Jennings Bryan once joked
about our Arnericau fondness for titles,
"You all know of the colonel," he
said, "who got hia title by Inheritance,
having married Colonel Brown's wid
ow? But I once met-a general who got
his title neither by inheritance, nor by
service, nor by anything you could
mention.
" 'General,' I said to him, 'how do
you come by this title of yours, any
way?' " 'Why, sir,' said he, 'I passed my
youth in the flour trade and for twenty-seven
years was a general miller.'
"I know another titled man. Judge
Greene.
" 'Are you, sir,' I once asked him, 'a
United States judge or a circuit court
judge?'
" 'I ain't neither.' he replied. 'I'm a
Judge of boss racin'.' "
