The Man who knows 1t All.

From the Philadelphia Record
The man who knows il all Is a luxury
which no decent community. however for
bearing. can easily afford to tolerate. With
all his blatant egotism he boils down to an
asinine specimen of the rarest kind. He
Is bore, an itch, disagreeable nuisance
anywhere and everywhere. He knows
everything about everybody. aud insists
upon ventila.ing his ample knowledge upon
every one in all places You 20 into the
street. he is there. You sit in your study
and up comes. his card You 90 to the
theatre or to any place Of amusement, and
behind you sits this iTrepressible ass. You
90 TO see your girl, and 10 he Is there also,
Neither place nor person Is sacred from his
profane presence. He outpreaehes the
preacher, outlies the lawyer and leaves the
doctor far behind in sending yOu 70 your
grave.
just new he has new hobby It Is
politics. He knows exactly why we are
thus and 50 and can tell us easily how to
be otherwise He has all the leading
questions Of the day down to the finest Of
fine points. Tariff currency, Monroe doc
trine are at the tip of his tongue, He
knows all about exports, imports, internal
revenues and the whole calendar Of indus
trial complexities. If fight break out
in New Orleans. the man who gets shot
used to room with him at school or college.
If Brazil and France have a set-to, he can
tell in an instant the cause Of the eontro-
versy and the merits of both sides. He is
generally for war-he Is IN for riding in
blood up 10 the brides and he may
always be counted on as jingo Of the first
water.
Verify, what an indispensable reproaeh
TO our manhood he is-this fellow who
knows ii all What tedious travesty
upon the common sense of the community
What an unspeakable reveler in the arts

tering the nanlss of the 3, 900 people who
work in the Q hces there Lovett feat
would be Snarkable under any circum-
stances, brit is particularly so in this case,
because the building has been open only a
few mon tbs, and up to week or so ago
new tenants were coming in daily, each
tenant, bringing with him three or four
clerks.
Among the people in The building Lo-
vett Is known as the walking directory.

typewriiers. a, well A. the lS0 men and
girls employed in The company operating
roam, are all known Ia him. and in most
cases he is able to give an accurate de-
scription of any one of them. There are
a couple of dozen John Smiths. and no
end of William Joneses, to say nothing of a
string of Browns and Whites; but if You
happen to want any Greens, particular
John Smith or Bill Jones, all you have to
do is to give Lovett slight description of
him, and he will answer:
,.Oh, yes, know him. Got mole
behind the left ear. He's with Blank,
Blank & Blank, sixth floor, sos. Going
up!' and before you realize what has hap
pened, you find yourself in an elevator
going rapidly skyward.

Sherlock Holmes.

Il have been in hotels all over the
country ever since. and have become
master of faces and names. My last place

of the hat, coat, and umbrella stands, and
