CLEVER REPLY OF DEBTOR.
It Was Amply Abjsct and Concern
ing Enough to Secure an
Extension.

A prominent business house in Balti-
more placed O bill in the hands Of col
lector, who, in response to q request for
settlement, relates the Sun, received the
following reply:
MY Dear Sir: Absence from the city
prevented my writing In answer to yours
Of o recent date.
1T will be absolutely impossible for
me to settle the claim you mention at
present, for the very simple. but good
reason-I haven't got It.
II lost every penny had In the world,
and considerable had In the future. In
q theatrical venture last September. Up
to the present time have not recovered
from the shock.
Think II you lay this fact before your
clients they will not advise you to pro-
coed harshly against me. From their
past experience with my modes Of pro-
cedure in days gone by, do not think
they can recall any suspicious manner
isms which could lead them to suppose
am debt dodger.
II have simply been initiated into
the Lodge Of Sorrow, Hard Luck Chap
ter, Fool Division. No. SO.
MY picture. hanging crepe-laden on
the walls Of the Hall Of Fame. bears the
legend, Sucker No. 33,876,494.'
my motto Is, briefly: I would II I
could: but haven't, so can't
Fortune may smile, however; up to
the present writing 1t has given me the
laugh. I have hopes.
Directly I am in o position even re-
motely suggesting opulence, l assure
you your balance will receive my very
prompt attention"

Many Kinds of vegetarians.

The international congress of the
Vegetarian federal union has just been
held In London, and 1t has at least
served to remind us that there are
several distinct kinds of vegetarians
counting our support. There are. for
instance, the VEINS, SO called because
they eat vegetables, eggs and milk.
Then there are the Vegs, or strict
vegetarians, who never on any account
eat animal products OF any kind. Then
there are the Edenics. who exclude all
cooked food; the Wallacites, who alb
hor salt and refuse bread containing
yeast; the Haigites, who do not in
clude peas or beans in their vegetar-
ianism; and the Allisonians, who have
abandoned tea in favor Of a solution OF
dried cereals.-Stray Stories.
