.'In case Brudder Cinnamon Carter
am in de hall tonight should like to
have him step dis way" said Brother
Gardner as Pickles Smith got through
blowing his nose and Elder Toots secur'
cd an easy rest for his back.
The member inquired for rose up at
the back end of the hall and came for
ward with look of surprise cantering
across his countenmce.
'Brudder Carter, when did you jina
dis clubp" asked the President
'Bout six months ago, sah."
"What was your object in becomin

"Do you fink it has helped your mind

Il do, sah."

owes no man only what he Arms. You
may reason dat you am not to blanc
for ben' heah. Very good; de WORLD
kin reason dat you am to blame for
stayin' in it when it costs muffin To-
Jump inter de ribber. Brudder Carter,
what has you done for de world dat Is
owes you libbin'P'
I-Ize-Ize-
Just so!' observed the President,
"You has walked up an down, an
wore clothes, an consumed food an
drink, an made one mo- in de crowd
aroun' new buildin'. An for this
you claim the world owes you libin' ?
You has made no diskiveries, brought
out no inventions, written no songs an
held no offs. Not 500 people in do
world know of you by name. You
can't name one single man who am
under obligashuns to you. You eat
what odders perduco. You war
out dc clothes odder people make. An
Wit you have the impudence to sot
down on bar of dried apples, cross yer
legs an fold yer hands, an say dat de
world owes We a libin', an by de great
horn spoon mus gin 1t to you! Brud-
der Carter, look at yourself few
minits."
Eyes, sah--ahem--yes--Pze sorry,
sah," stammered the member.
"What furp Sorry kase you've bin
found outp Sorry kase you've entered
dis hall fur de las timer Brudder
Carter, we don't want SIGH men as you in
| dis club. De world doan' owe us q
cent. On de contrary, we owe do
world mo- dan we kin ever pay. De
man who argys dat he am entitled to
any mo- dan what his brains or muscle
kin airn him am robber at heart. We
shall cross your name from de rolls,
show you de way down stairs, an per
nit you TO go your own road frew life.
If you kin make de world clothe, feed
and shelter you fur the privilege of Sec
in you hold down dry goods box in
front of a sto' which doan' advertise,
dat will be your good luck"
Brother Carter thought the matter
over, and decided that the world owed
him n place in Paradise Hall, but he was
mistaken again. The Committee on
Internal Revenue stepped forward at a
nod from Brother Gardner, and the ex-
PEELED member only struck the stairs
twice in going from top to bottom. =
