A banker and a lawyer sat in our
sanctum swapping lies with the edi-
tor one day recently, when a foot-sore
gentleman of the genus hobo walked
in, He carefully sized up the crowd
then straightway struck the editor
for the price of a drink. While the
tourist artistioally pulled our leg
the banker and the lawyer tumbled
over each other in their frantic haste
to get back to the duties of their re-
spective places of business. This in
cident is not without its lesson. The
experience and keen PERCEPTION of
that walking delegate taught him
where to look for a tender heart and
a penny for the hand of poverty.
And thus it is that the poor printer
always gets it "in the neck, -HuE-
