HAVE YOU SEEN HIM p
The Chap With the White Pyramid Hat
and Cracked Pipe.

You may have seen him, if not
you've missed it. He is a slender youth
and walks along in a peculiar manner
that gives one the impression that he
is everlastingly trying to keep from
falling; but it isn't the walk that at
tracts attention, although that is
enough in itself, IT'S principally the
hat, yes, that hat! 1t is q felt hat and
spotless white.
It's punched up in the centre into a
conceived pyramid after the fashion of
the ''regIar army" and turned down
at the front just as the chap does who
plays cards and bluffs a good deal. 1t
comes close to his eyes and reveals on
either side a mass of black hair Which
is combed forward and arranged with
a precision that would make a country
pumpkin g~een with envy. and then,
last but not least, is a little crooked
pipe that rests in the boyish mouth,
which now and then emits putfs of
smoke.
He's young, not more than 1S-it's
useless to say that, He usually navi-
gates alone when Che busy street is
filled with craft Of all sorts. He seems
to love to scud along in the bright sun
shine, and like a man-O' war, takes de-
light in watching the less important
boats pull to one side and blow their
whistles as he passes. You'll see him
on Main street at noon and at eve
ming. Sundays when the people are go
ing to church. and you'll always find
him sailing up stream--just the oppo-
site direction to the crowd Where he's
bound or who he is, nobody seems to
know Like Topsy, he seems to have
'just crowded" and like LonGfellow's
brook, he seems to go on forever"
His coming is hailed from afar by a
little hustle and confusion in the
steady current of city life, and as he
draws near, the channel clears and
people stand aside TO gaze or move
along and bump into pedestrians as
they look back. Some turn and follow,
others look away and smile. The street
urchin says "HulY gee" the demure
young woman mutters Heavens" to
herself, and the sensible person either
smiles or thinks disagreeable things,
according to his temperament.
You must have seen him IL you've
been on the street dsring the busy
hours you must have m9rvelled with
