THE APPAREL PROCLAIMS THE MAN
SOME THING ABOUT MEMS GIG

One reads q great deal in these days
in the columns of every periodical
about the fashions for women, and a
great dea, of space is given to the
proper display of taste in dress. There
lis a gospel Of clothes, as Carlyle found,
and there are some truths of no less
importance to men than to women.
The youth whose chief idea is the
ladornment of his person, degenerates
into a fOp, and, at a later period, is
pretty sure to become a loafsr unless
some kind relative makes provision
or his maintenance. This species of
humanity is confined to no race or
condition in life. The country beau,
who imagines he is a lady killer, revels
in ultra styles, a year or two old, mar
yelous ties and pointed shoes. His
lraiment reveals his awkwardness. and
in the endeavor to live up to his swag-
ger dress his language becomes pro-
fame, without being either forceful OF
picturesque. His desire for display
leads him into making an exhibition of
himself. and the spectacle of such a
specimen in soiled flnery and load OF
bad whiskey Is all too common.
In higher ranks OF society he sue
ceeds in having the cut of his clothes
copied by the poorer, but equally fool
ish, young man. He always attracts at
tention and enjoys it. He gives cham
payne suppers and is taken home every
night in a cab. and after his head is
cleared he boasts of having "a devil
of time. don't We know" Old age
finds him bankrupt, unless there is a

His charge Of fifty-three cents for each
commitment is not exorbitant, and is
fixed by the statute. With these war
rants IN his hands the sheriff has a
claim which cannot be disputed. and
the controller has nothing to do but to
recommend the payment Of the bill.
There Is no warrant for believing
that the sheriff has overcharged, since
his bill is not larger than usual and
since no specific charges OF wrong
doing have been made AS soon as the
workhouse Is opened his fee for COM

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
lime to Call a Halt

To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir: The time is opportune to call a
halt in the systematic looting of the
city and the county treasures. When
the highwayman or burglar goes after
his plumber he takes his life in his
hand by giving the people he is going
to prey upon chance to defend them
selves by arresting or killing him. The
case is different with the paid bandits
Of our county and city and State. They
are in full power to act, and these
FOUNDERS are elected by the people, OF
are appointed by selfish motives. The
Eighth Commandment says Thou
shalt not steal" The hooters say thou
shalt steal" They ignore Gods law
and the taxpayers law, and adopt
their own law. and have the gall t.
ask what are you going to do about it,
When Greek meets Greek comes the
tug Of war.
There is a way out, and plans OF es'
cape might be laid at an indignation
meeting, to be called at once. At ii

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
WaYfarer Makes Deductions

In searching out the identity of Bill
Parsons, the Wayfarer has been greatly
assisted by finding the following verses
thai were written by Bill and from
which the Wayfarer concludes thai
Bill was boy at one time, and while
he was he went swimming in a ponc
near an old red mill, but Just where
that mill is the Wayfarer has not yet
determined.
Swimming at the Old Red Mill
The boys who went a-swimming
At the old Red Mill
Through misty clouds of passing years
| seem to see them still.
Their active little bodies flash
Through liquid depths again
For bathing-suits for little boys
Were not in fashion then.
A jolly little savage, like
The prehistoric man,
Adorned with naueht but freckles
And an honest coat OF tan.
Oh, not cloud obscures the sun.
And nothing counted III.
The days we went a-swimming
At the old Red Mill
OF course it was forbidden,
But that only added zest;
We learned the pleasant lesson then
That stolen sweets are best
When parents Cell their little boys
That swimming is a crime,
They reckon not with tendencies
That are as old as Time
When Nature calls, her children all
Are certain to obey
And so we all went swimming there
Most every Summer day.
OF course we gave our promises,
And kept them, too, until
Twas time to go a-swimming
At the old Red Mill!
We used to be as much at home
! In water as in air,
| And since the bottom was so cool.
We used to linger there
The divers of the Persian gulf
! That go in search of pearls
| Might give an exhibition fit
! For women folks and girls.
| Oh, not a single mermaid
Was seen dispOrting there,
! But bOisterous little merry-men
! Who didn't comb their hair
| Why, I can hear them calling yet
"Oh, quit yer hoein', Bill,
| We boys are gOin' swimmin'
At the old Red Mill"
There was a splendid diving log
| We fellows used to climb,
And Hing our arms, and prime our
selves,
| And balance for q time:
And then a wedge of polished bronz
! Would shoot into the air,
And plunge beneath the cooling wave
To find cOntentment there.
And then at last to reappear
Upon the farther shore,
And saunter up the pebbly beach.
And view the landscape DER"
The man that swan the HellespOnt
Might envy them their skill,
The boys who went a-swimming
At the old Red Mill
J And yesterday, at dead of noon.
! When all was parching hot,
/ hungered for the boys again,
And for that cooling spot.
And by-gone habit, laid aside,
! Assumed its wOnted sway,
And down behind the orchard hedge
I softly stole away,
The boys-the dear old boys. you SCI
Were calling from the past,
And down upon the pebbly shore
I stood and looked at last
A freckled and familiar form
Went racing down the hill
My boy was going swimming
AT the old Red Mill!
