A Chicago man who owed creator

money, covered himself with dirt,
scratched his face, tore his clothes and
then got his wife to blacken his eyes
with her fists. All this was undergone
that he might go to the creditor with a
story of highway robbery which would
soften the heart of the creditor until he
would remit the debt. The creditor
however, being a pretty shrewd little
man himself did not take kindly to
the story and succeeded in finding the
money in an old mattress belonging tc
the disfgured debtor. About the only
comforting thought in the whole story
Is that 80 mean man is blessed witt
