A man who has intelligence enough
to be fairly good workman in any in
dustry is intelligent enough to under
stand that every idle man in the coun-
try is q man whom workingmen help
to support. An idler has digestive
apparatus which has to be kept busy;
he must be supplied with clothing
shelter and warmth, and somebody
must pay for these things. The per-
sons who do pay for the wealth thus
consumed are the men who produce
wealth. namely, the working men.
The greater the number OF idlers, the
larger must be the amount deducted
from the earnings OF those who toll.

about coincidents. There is news
paper man on the Row who swcars By

letters in his name. All his ancestors,
SO far as he knows, were blessed with
the same number of letters. He was

Speaking OF the thirteen scare. a

their number a dinner at an uptown

there would be thirteen ut the table.
One Of the men refused to stay. He
