The banner that floats DER the everyday

might have seen strange sight had
they happened into a certain Broadway
saloon just as midnight paled and trem-
bled as dawn frightened it away. A
man, who looked Ikea common hobo,
caused group Of loungers to marvel at
the changes hard luck and despair will
bring about in gifted mankind.
The hobo came shutting into the sa-
| loon as all hOboes do. He was ragged ard
| unkempt, and one glance was sufficient
to show that he was a member in good
f.standing in the tribe Of the great u
washed.
He wandered into the middle of the
saloon floor. and then shuffied up to the
bar while the dignitary who presided
on the other side was attending to
the wants OF several customers.
"Barkeeper." he said, in pleading
tones, I'm dead broke, and I want q
drink"
That was all. He didn't make any
| talk about the better days; he didn't
| throw any bouquets; he didn't even
promise to come in an pay when he se-
cured coin. The man was a bum, but
his style wasn't hackneyed.
The barkeeper surveyed him intently
for a moment, then quietly set a glass
and a bottle of whisky on the counter.
The man poured out an ordinary
amount Of the fluid and drained the
glass. Then he mumbIed his thanks and
prepared to move away.

A second drink followed the first down

The vag made an expressive gesture
with his hands and then broke into a
husky laugh.
