we must walk IN, push our way
past slower men, and take the seat:
and we must look as il we not
only owned it. but had a mortgage
on all the private boxes. and could
occupy any oneos them if We so
desired

must struggle for front seat, if
he has to jostle the real owner and

The world has not time to ana
lyze character, weigh merit, and
decide as to the relative ability of
men This is a fast, hurrying,
rushing world of ours, and it is

lgets his change and goes away, and
in few minutes the other man en-
tiers the store and purchases a ci-
gar or other small article, and after
a few minutes asks the clerk why
he does not give him his change.

that he has not yet been paid for

that he has and very distinctly re-
members the circumstance because
the bill he handed over had pc
culiar mark upon it, which he de-
scribes. The clerk looks over the
till, finds the bill so marked, gives
the man the required change and
apologies for OBTAINING him, and
probably asks him to call again.
