EDITOR BOLLES' GOOD FORTITN NE

Tie boys are having a little quiet
'ul with Mr. Bibles, the popular editor

| good fortune which has followed in his
| pathway. A few weeks ago he Jour
neyed to Bridgeport, on business bent
| and as is his usual custom, repaired to
| one OF the excellent restaurants that
he might satisfy the craving for food
which existed beneath his vest. When
he started for Bridgeport he was dress
en- in his usual sensible style. but on
his head reposed a Derby hat, which
cost him something like S150. Not
being in a great hurry he paid respect
full attention to the various courses
and when he arose from the tables his
cOuntenance beamed with satisfaction.
Only one hat remained in the rack
and after paying his bill and making
few scientific remarks about the
weather, he left the restaurant. When
he reached home on hanging up his hat
he discovered that some one had eX-
changed head coverings with him and
that he was the gamer. And So taking
out his handy lead pencil he figured up
the profits Of that trip something as
follows:
