Detroit Free Prrss-
The architect who plans high front steps to q
house is in league with certain boys who have a
large and assorted stock OF meanness born 10
their natures. Proof OF this can be found any day
IN the week in Detroit and the latest was gath
cred in no later than Saturday afternoon. A
very nice young man, dressed IN the nobbiest
style aud sporting cane which never cost less
than dollar walked up the high front steps OF
a Jefferson avenue mansion and pulled the bell.
IL WAS plain enough even To the driver OF street
car that the young man had affection for some
Que IN that house and that he was about TO
meet his eharmer. But il wasn't 50 PLAIN TO .
stub-posed boy who was drawing picture OF an
Indian warrior on the iagstoues with piece Of
iodigo. He looked up, quit ms work, and loahng
along TO the gate he called out;
Them air folks don't want any patent tooth
paste to-dayr'
The n0boy young man gave sudden start Of
surprise. but be Instantly realized the vastness OF
the gulf separating him and that street boy, and
he did not reply,
.'0ur folks don't want any clothes-wriugers to-
day. aud you want TO hear mel" called the boy.
! The young man heard him. Several pedestri-
| ans also heard him, and AS they booked up the
| young man wondered why no one answered the
bell

that we don't keep no boarding house here II

corner and three block strait on. Do you pro-
pose to pay in advanced"
AS no one came to the door the young man
pulled the bell again.
TN telling you that you cant pass yourself
of on US as grasshopper sufferer y shouted the
boy. =" Ii you want some cold vittles go around
TO the side-gate
Four pedestrians had halted on the other side
OF the street. aud the young man looked down
on the boy and softly SAID:

you is that you want TO go around TO the cooks

The young man wished wish containing Il 3
grains fine that the builder Of those high steps
had been dead for forty years, but the door
didn't open, and the boy hung right to him call

young man as be turued around.
Z" Let's see how it looks!" softly replied the
lad.
But the half dollar was at home. The young
man searched tor it in vain, aud the disgusted
boy turned to the men across the street and
called out:
e Isn't it agin the law for fellow to be taking
a beeswax impression of front door lock in the
daytime :"
They started to come over, and the young man
hurried down the steps aud mp tie street. He
gave the boy just one look. 1t was look in
which railroad collisions aud steamboat blow-ups
were equally mixed and then frosted with b.
gardus kicker.

baby. aud they can't be rubbed out nor bought
up for wealth !"
Just then young lady threw open the door
and smiled ami bowed and got as far as =" Why

The footman wac out and she wanted to I" tix
up" "Fwed " had gone. She backed IN aud
shat the door, and the mean boy got down to
finish his Indian muttering;
