He Is the King of the Curb In the
British Metropolis.
Iondons outdoor man is the c0Ster.
He is the Ishmael of the cutters. \
very jolly Ishmael, it is true, who is
more than content to acknowledge the
line of demarcation between himself
and the true cockney. But, ney2Ithe-
less, in a modified, twentieth century
way he is still the wild man whose
hand is against every mans and every
mans against his. He is probably the
last remnant of the worlds Old race OF
wanderers-the last suggestion of the
primitive man-left to the cities. He is
to us town dwellers what the gypsy is
to the countryside. His descent seems
to spring from the same rowing stock.
And he is regarded, from a safe dis
lance. with the same contempt by
those who don't know him. His habits
and his impulses still SAVIOR strongly of
the days when tribe varied against
tribe and every mans arm was for
himself and his clan. And, although
his pitch is below the curb, his caravan
a barrow and his beast of burden a
Russian pony, a donkey Or himself, he
is as free and excl i've as any other
lusty scion of the people who live under
the skies Ishmael he is and Ishmael
he chooses to remain. And the chances
are ten to one that whoever goes a-fish
ing for information among the barrows
will come back with an empty creel or
a fine show of fshermen's tales, for

silence and how to use his tongue pic,
