THERE is robust and quaint humor latent in
the piny woods colored person, too. There
come and then severely cold days in the Win
ter, even in that usually saubrious climate, and
the colored contingent is never clad against such
visitatons the cold snaps bring it up against sure
enough" shivery and shaky existence while they
last. A day such this along in December.
Few of the colored population ventured forth.
One tattered young negro, however, doubtless
from necessity, out in it, hudded up in the
shelter of small outbuiding. 1t seems that the
last summer had been unusually scorchng one;
hot in fact, that the ordinarily heat proof
colored person loed about and hunted for the
shade and stayed there. This had evidently
ardent recollection of that suffocating summer
weather; for he shook and shivered behind the
outbuildng particularly fierce and cutting blast
swooping down against him, and as his tatters
futtered in it, and his blood colder than ever,
he grinned he turned to the cold blast, and ad-
dressing it exclaimed:

But the Fellow in Strange Place
TT is all very. different, though, when a fellow
finds himself flat broke" elsewhere than in the
home town-in distant city, say Oh, very diff
ferent! Uni1naginaby different. Everything in
the distant city has forbdding sort of aspect
wandering hunted eye of the broke one rests
on nothing familiarly heartening nothing to fan
the slumbering spark of hope, nothing to suggest
an eventual climb-out Even the faces of the pas
sersby are, in a way of speaking, stony. Worse
than that, the passersby appear to the broke
to be arrogantly, aggresslvely well cared tor
groomed, spick and span. The women hauntful
of their finery. Why, even the teamsters whist

see what it boots after it is all over.
Whereupon, squaring his shoulders and with
sort of flourish meant to impress, and successful IN
impressing, the head waiter, the broke ;" one en-
tered the blazing restaurant,-g not ignoby;
outstanding, not whipped.
He didn't have a copper land they don t use
coppers in San Francisco, anyhow But how this
broke" one did eat, What a marvel the dinner
he ordered was! 1t aroused even the admiration of
the Gallo waiter and such waters are not prone
to momentary enthusiasts. 1t was very pearl OF
a dinner. Warmed by the generous wines. and
smoking three fora dollar gar with gusto born
of an enforced abstinence from tobacco during
three wretched days, the broke one leaned back
in his chair and gazed bandly at the painted Cupids
and Psyche and such NEUROLOGICAL persons gambo
ing gracefully on the ceiling.
Its all right he said unto himself. They
go as far as they like. This, | suppose, being
grand larceny, means San Quentin at the least.
Fine! Let Rome in Tiber melt and forth.
I've dned, anyhow
Then just when the broke but fed one was
in the act of announcing to the grovel1ng Gallo
waiter that he wouldn't be able to come through
for the price of his and seventy five
cent dinner, to have the waiter summon the mana

and said to him. Hello Bill! l haven't you

handling you?'
Two minutes later the prosperous looking was
shocking cracking hundred-dollar note from
his ample roll and slipping it to the broke one.
The prosperous one had borrowed the hundred from
the broke four years before, at distant
city as Buffalo, New York, the prosperous one him
self having been :" broke at that time.

happen even to broke persons. Miracle no.
