Moved by that spirit of munifcence |
which is a direct result of the New
Years cup which cheers and inebriates |
or not, according, a Topeka bachelor |
in barber shop yesterday having paid
for his shave at the desk turned back, |
with princely condescension to press a |
five cent piece upon the tonsorialist |
who had ministered unto him Then he |
passed out swelling up like a pouter I
pigeon as we are wont to do when we
reflect upon our own generosity. Aboue |
q block down the street he happened |
TO remember that he had a five dollar |
gold piece in his pocket which he in |
tended to transfer to safer place lest !
he hand it out recklessly in lieu of
small change. He reached in his pock- |
ct, but it was not in the handful of /
paltry coins which he fished out. He |
rummaged his other pockets Not to
be found. Then it flashed over him !
that he had given it to the barber and |
his holiday generosity and his holiday |
jag were both scared out of him.
All that saves this anecdote from a |
tragic ending is the fact that the bar |
Der had been busy that morning, and |
not having had time to acquire holt /
day sensations of unwonted wealth the |
ed to him looked all of its normal |
everyday size. He was not feeling ext
actly pessimistic, but he took a sane, |
International view of the situation and |
knew that the money had been given !
to him by mistake. So he telephoned |
the reckless donor and gave him a |
chance to renig so it was a Happy New |
Years after ALL

Promise Me- and ST Promise Thee"

by Mrs. Stephen Earle Lee, and the |

Gil Comstock. Miss Comstock also |

ers were the eight members of the |
