BOASTS OF HIS CLOTHES.
Unsteady Man Amuses Passengers by
BID Talk of His Fine Taste.

Baltimore, Feb. 15.-An intoxicated
man amused the passengers of a Front
and Chestnut streets trolley car the
other morning when he endeavored to
impress upon them that his wardrobe
was very extensive in every particu-
lar, including trousers that cost the
wearer $25.
"I'll bet that no man in this car ever
wore a pair of pants that cost that
much" he said. "If there is any one
who can plead guilty I wish he would
come up to the front OF the car and
introduce himself"
After long dissertation upon the
merits of the clothes he was accus-
toned to wear, and the exquisite taste
with which he had his selections, the
loquacious individual lapsed into sill
ence, much to the relief of mis- long
suffering fellow-passengers.
