There are very few grown men, or
even stout boys" in the country
who have any pride in being out OF
business. Occasionally n is found,
however, and when found he is worth
making a note Of. We ran across a
gnuine specimen the other day. or,
rather, he ran against uS-emphati-
calIy against us-against our feelings,
against our judgment, against our
sympathy, but not against u pity.
Wa did pity him, and that was the ex-
tent If our recognition. He was
dressed of faultlessly-that is, il the
extreme of ~latter-day fashion can be
called fanltless: he had beautiful
white hands and teeth, his hair was
parted in the middle, his dOwny mus
tache adroitly curled. a gold mounted
eyeglass dangled from a button hole
Of his vest, and a "nobby" little
walking stick vas twisted in his be-
jeweled lady fingers. He was proud
to say that he was a gentleman OF
leisure.n We inferred as much be-
fore he said it. What else could have
been inferred? What earthly use
could the mortal thing be put to?
PHYSICAL force he had not; his mind
was vacant as an exhausted receiver;
and he seemed to have nO excuse Tor
living except to advertise some tailor
ing establishment. 1t is something
to the credit of this country that
such specimen s Of the genus home are
rare. We can only wish that they
were SO rare that circus men would
be induced to cage them with their
monkeys; though che monkeys would
be apt to protest against the COM
partnership.
