Willie and the Impecunious Boss.

Willie was sweet boy, with a
cherubic face. and he was temporarily
in the employ of a hustling but i'm
pecunious attorney who was busy
lodging collectors. One morning the
Impecunious Attorney chided Willie
urgently. A short time afterward the
form OF an Insistent Collector with a
bin for s46 appeared, and the lmpe-
cunious Attorney hastily clambered
into the microscopic closet which
contained the washstand. clambered
ON TOD of the wash bowl. and pulled
the door shut, motioning frantically TO
Willie TO tell the ubiquitous collector
that he was out

"Be's Just been gone a minute and

The collector accepted both the chair
and the paper and reposed himself TO
wait comfortably. And Willie resigned
burriedly without waiting TO tell any
one about it and never returned for
his money.

along under their burden. Here is
grimly pathetic picture of them, drawn
by Sir Frederick Treves:
They are hillmen OF the poorer
sort who carry planks of sawn wood
into Simla. Each beam is from twelve
TO fourteen feet in length, and two
or three make up a load. The men
are ill-clad, and the sun and rain
have tanned them and their rags to
the color of brown earth. They bear
the blanks across their bent backs,
and the burden is grieyous. They
come from place some days journey
toward the SHOWS. They plod along
from the dawn to the twilight. They
seem crushed by the weight Of the
beams. and their gait is more the gait
of a stumbling beast than the walk of
a man. Their long black hair is white
with dust as 1t hangs by each side of
their touchdown faces. The sweat
among the wrinkles on their brows is
hardened into lamentable clay. They
walk in single file. and when the path
is narrow they must needs move side

men. bending under the burden of the

Ian, has had a most spectacular rise from an al
legged pooroom and bucket shop gambler In Buffalo

McClellan's right hand man he has been reaping
a whirlwind OF criticism for the wholesale gam
bling and corruption that were said To have pre-
vailed in the metropolis while the mayor was In
Europe.
