Shortly alter the arrival of freight
train the other morning a stranger
came sauntering up the street. He
carried a well-worn grip in his hand,
and his entire costume gave evidence
of having been a long time in use.
His coat was fringed along the front
and wrists; the original color was
hard to determines; his hat was also
the worse for wear, and little tufts OF
hair took in the sunshine and the rain.
A broad expanse of shirt front, liberal
ly spotted with tobacco juice, and sur
mounted by high collar, that was
probably once white as the driven
snow, was noticeable feature of his
makeup; a bright blue tie was fasten-
ed round his neck and the ends played
hide and seek under the rolls of his
coat, as they were tossed hither and
thither by the gentle breeze. .Twixt
his lips was a Missouri meerschaum,
from which came liberal and frequent
clouds of smoke. He was a printer, of
course, and out of a job and no money.
Had been located at some point in Mis-
sissippi for several months and was
now on his way to New York City.
Some one directed him to the Inder
Office and up the steps he went. On
arriving in the Office few moments
later, we found him seated in the office
chair, his feet on the table. while he
perused the exchanges that were scat
tered near: after while he elevated his
eyebrows. looked complacently around
and casually remarked that he would
like to secure a little work. Then he
drifted into general conversation. on
science, literature and art. A thous-
and miles away from home. no money
and no friends, hungry and no place to
rest his weary head, he talked glibly OF
every subject that came TO his mind.
The millionaire, surrounded by all the
1uxuries that wealth can afford, could
not present a truer picture OF content
ment. He let none of the disadvan-
tages of his position worry him at all
and smiled in satisfaction as he blew the
wreaths of smoke toward the ceiling.
After he had told all that he knew,
