One day last summer the young
and popular comedian Alba Haywood,
was iding down Wabash Avenue, in
Chicago, when on the sidewalk he
espied typical tramp looking into
a restaurant and enjoying a square
meal by inhaling the perfumes from
within through screen door. Mr..
Haywood observed the tramp's suit
was Just the thing he wanted for his
tramp character in" Edgewood Folks"
SO he stepped off the car and strolled
up to Mr.. Tramp with one of his most
winning smiles and bantered him for
a trade, offering him new suit for the
old one, but the attachment between
the tramp and the clothes was SO
strong, being of so long standing, Mr..
Heywood's offer was refused. The
terms were raised to new suit and
two dollars, and still the tramp re-
fused. As last resort new suit
and five dollars was offered with same
results. The comedian stood for II
minute as if in deep study and then
with his former smile he said: al
beg your pardon, your stock-in-trade
is worth more money. | did not
realize it was your only means OF earn
ing an honest living" The tramp
grnned, shrugged his shoulders, and
resumed his meal through the screen
door.
The imprisonment of Citizen Lane
in the county Jail has precipitated
conflict for social precedence between
that gentleman and Thomas O'Gara,
who by long residence in that building,
had developed in him some of the
traits manifested by Mr.. Dorritt. as
Governor of Marshalsea Prison. Citi-
zen Lane is noted for his boldly argu-
mentative nature and his aggressive
methods in impressing his ideas upon
all with whom he is thrown in con-
tact. The friction which attends
such attrition is diffused over so much
surface, outside of prison doors, that
its effect is lost, and it is only OCCASION
ally that Mr.. Lane rubs up against
some substance that explodes the
dynamite in his nature. But in such
confined quarters, and with but a
single auditor, and that auditor en-
titled to precedence by all recognized
rules of social ethics it followed, that an
eruption must of inevitable necessity
ensue. Citizen Lane has theory
that Somnus should rule at night,
and that the day should be devoted to
meditation, and when occasion war
rants, discussion of the great ques-
tons of the day. O'Gara, on the con
trary, sleeps by day, and at night
passes even the wee sma' hours" in the
most grotesque efforts at melody ever
attempted by human lungs. 1t was
this discord, when the philosophical
citizen wanted to sleep, as well as the
uncomfortable desire to convert hui
mainly from error, that led to The
spirited debate, which resulted in mus
cular argument. in which Tom vail
quished Jim. The battle was short
but decisive. Brute force triumphed
over brain power; the animal was
shown to be superior to the boosted
mental attributes of man. A vigorous
blow from the strong right arm OF
O'Gara lulled to sleep the active men,
tai organization of his opponent, and
the question at issue still remains un-
decided.
