number of gentlemanly appearing

much cleaner than the ordinary tramp,
but when it comes to shooting snipe"
along the sidewalks are as low as the
lowest. No snipe7 escapes them. In
all other ways they seem to be superior
to most tramps.

est and belief Of the people in his
scheme was due to the fact that the
American people like to be humbugged
and the bigger the humbug the better
they like it.
