Sonu Of the SCUM.

One evening this spring Mr.. Lewis
Nixon, the shipbuildeT, and his wife
were taking dinner a. the Waldorf.
At the next table Mr.. Nixon saw and
spoke to a young architect whom he
knew. He was evidently entertaining
some out-of-towher, as the latter's Ia
bic manners were not the daintiest;
in fact he looked like q westerner.
The following day Mr.. Nixon met
the architect down town and said:
Hello, friend Have a good dinner
last night2"
Yes, great"
"How's your friend from ChicagO2"
Hes all right But how did you
know he was from Chicago"

And while I work III sing song
OF rOilicking good cheer
To help the tagging ones along
