His Own, bat the Former Returns for

without stitch.
A young man arrived in Rock ISL
aud something like a year ago to
study q certain line OF business. He
Immediately became infatuated with
the customs and amusements of the
people Of this part Of the country.
So he wanted everything that was
going. He received occasional re-
mi,tances from home, but it was not
long before he was cutting swifter
pace than his finances would war
rant. Then he began doing bust
ness with the man who has three
brass balls hanging over his door.
He soaked everything soakable.
Finally it became necessary for
him to take down his surplus gar
ments. They. too. went to the
pawnshop. He was getting in des-
perate straits. But he must have
the greenbacks. He must keep up
| his pace. He changed boarding
house time and time again, not be-
cause the bill of fare did not agree
with him. but because his landlord
wearied OF waiting for that remit
lance which he was expecting from
home. So he took mp quarters at
one of the hotels. One morning he
found himself broke-that was not
an unusual circumstance-but he
needed money. He must have 1t.
He went to friend and borrowed q
suit of clothes.
He donned his borrowed garments
wrapped up his own clothes, marched
down to the pawn shop and pat
them up.
The next dav his friend called al
his room and demanded his clothes
When they were not forthcoming h'
marched into the young mans room
and took them from the hook, leav

Nothing to Wear.
He didn't have a thing to put OF
but his underclothes. No Que woul,
loan him a suit go that he could ge
outside and communicate his predic
ament to his friends. So an office
was sent for. He carried q messag
to one of the young fellows friends
: He had been worked before, but coul
not help sympathizing with hin
when he saw the tears rolling dow
mis- checks. So he scraped up q
Old suit.
