skRlMLEYs ONE QUEER TRAIT.
Pink Of Neatness In Every Other Way,
He Never Brushes His Hat.

Il suppose" said Mr.. MacBlink,
that We all have our little peculiari-
ties. but some of them do seem queer.
You take. for instance, the one odd
thing about my friend Skrimley.
Nov. Skrimley Is a man very scru-
pulous In all the ways of personal
cleanliness, daily bath, constant fresh
linen, clothes always in perfect order
and always brushed, and his shoes Al
ways cared for in like manner; but
he never brushes his hat, and that
have never been able to account for
Anybody that didn't know Skrim-
ley that saw him going around with
that hat of his all covered with dust
would think he was, so to speak,
dusty all over and all through, a man
in every way careless about his per-
son: but the facts are as have
stated them. he is actually the very
opposite OF personal dustiness, in
everything but his hat
Somehow he doesn't seem to care
how that looks. and when he comes
to that he just let's 1t go. Just why
he does this I don't know: l suppose
it's Just Skrimley's little peculiarity.
