How 4 TRAMP EXCUSED HDisELY.-A
toFlorn looking tramp went to the house
Of gentleman on the South Side one
boiling hot day recently, and solicited a
square meal. The gentleman was willing
to grant his request, but felt like lecturing
the vag little. lie therefore remarked
To the cadaverous looking chap that he
had better be at work than idling his time
away in roaming up and down the world,
leading an aimless life.
The tramp inquired Of the gentleman
what he would have him do. The gentle.
man replied, Go to work" upon which
the shabby genteel specimen Of humanity
anSwed il was all very well to talk that
way, but il was hard matter to find any.
thing to do in his line Of business.
The citizen frightened up, thinking
that he could perhaps put the tramp on
the scent OF a job. "What ia your bust.
ness?" asked the gentleman.
~ AIN snow shOveIer!" replied the
tramp; and the next second he went over
a high board fence at one jump, and that,
too, without taking time TO look for the
lowest and most available place. The gen.
tleman takes no stock in tramps any more
neither does he bother himself in relation
to the previous occupation Of one Of these
knights Of the Road.
