al suppose" the informant continued
chat you have heard that Mr.. Hutchinson
liked q brusk mana man who talked
back at him, as the saying is. | know bet
| ter. He has an idea that all men are tina
way. He believes that the world is full o.
sharp corners. DO not misunderstood me
! don't mean that he is sour on the world
But he thinks il is the worlds way. TIL,
world thinks IL is his. Every time the two
have come in contact il has been sort o.
tacit understanding that one of them had Il
win. So, you see, life OF that sort, ar
every day experience Of that kind, makes
man brusk and the world is brusk to him
They misjudge Mr.. Hutchinson who
think he likes clustering man. Lie
doesn't like man who lawns any more
than he does the other kind His detesta,
ton and adherence Of anything that has q
semblance OF n sham IL ono OF his mos
marked characteristics. He doesn't go into
society for that reason. lie knows what q
hollow mockery that's. He hates that sort o.
greeting which says, Really, am glad "a
know you, or i am delighted to see you.
lie is not a scoffer, but he is not relig.
ionist no far AZ creed is concerned, because
in his opinion 1t also has its shams. His
broad religion is that every man should dc
his level best, and that in the distribution
of awards he will get prize in accordance
with the talent which was given him as a
starter. II man has inherited q propen-
sty 10 steal and docs steal Mr.. Hutchin-
sons religion will not punish that man.
That IL the basis OF his church.
''IIe has another idea, now that we are
on that subject, on which he Is always
plain and outspoken. / will relate an in
cident which will show you what mean.
"A lady called upon him for subscrip-
ton. The object Of the fund was 10 send
missionaries abroad. Mr. Hutchinson heard
her through aud then replied:
Madam, we have our own heather to
convert and ! cannot help you for that
reason. Then there il another. | have
done some figuring on this missionary
business and find that il takes - to con-
vert heather. In my opinion he isn't
worth i, and cannot help you for that
reason.'' -
As an offset to this heard the follow
ing from another source:
A gambler was killed accidently in this
city. At one time he had been an oper-
ator on small scale on the board of trade
His better nature was the cause Of his
financial dstresses At the time OF his
death he was penniless and homeless.
We always say penniless Homeless, us IL
there were any reason for adding the lat
ter. Somebody started TO pass subscrip.
ton paper around TO raise funds 10 bury
him. number OF names opposite which
small sums were set were obtained. The
paper was presented TO clutch" and tho
nature of the accident and its result cx-
planned.
How much money have you collected
on this pnpcr?' he asked.
The answer was given.
'llow much wall it take 10 bury your
lriend2" lac asked.
'Onc hundred and twenty-five dollars
will do u nicely, replied the man with
the paper.
Mr.. Hutchinson took the paper and tore
i up. lie handed the man his check for
sl25 and told him to go and pay back what
lac had collected and bury his dead rs tho
lead ought 10 bc buried.
Another informant told me that there
were men In Chicago who were being sup
ported by Mr.. Hutchinson. "What I
mean" he said, lis this There are men
here who have done work for him and did
I faithfully. They arr old, some Of them,
md some OF them have families that no.
