TRULY A TRAGEDY
oLO-TiME PRINTER RECALLS HIS
sA0DEsT MOMENT.
Lonesome Half Dollar, All the Worldly
Wealth Possessed BY His chum
ard Himself, Went Down 70
the Fishes.

| A group Of old-timc journeymen
printers the other night were describ-
ing their wanderings up and down and
across the map of the United States
and pointing the descriptions Of their
journeys with little hard-luck stories
OF their own experiences here and
there. A little gray man with high
forehead. who had been listening
meekly all evening to the reminis-
cenccs OF the others finally was moved
to speech.
I've worked In newspaper ofiices
and print shops In nearly every kind
OF burg In this country from Father
Knickerbocker's town to the shacks
OF Red Gulch. and I have had to bat.
ter gates once In q while for o little
broken grub" said he.
Il have been little more than hum
cry at times. and used the side-door
Pullman In most OF my little journeys.
But ] believe the saddest and most
hopeless moment OF my life was In
chicago late In the fall Of tho year
OF the big Columbian exposition. Me
and pal Of mine had drifted In
there from tho wide southwest some
where and we were both Just about
broke. Our clothes were getting thin
and the October breezes coming
across the lake were beginning to chill
us to the bone. but we dubbed to-
gether one day and raised enough to
pay our admissions into the fair. We
were bound TO see II. although II left
US one lonesome half-dollar between
the two OF US.
"All day we tramped, feasting our
eyes on the marvels OF the big show,
and late In the afternoon we landed
back up town. with our heads full Of
Venetian lagoons and white palaces.
We still had the half dollar and In tho
intervals OF recalling this and that
exhibit to each other we were plan
ming how to spend the so cents TO tho
best advantage. We were nearing the
Rush street bridge when we began To
laugh over the queer antics and man.
nerisms OF group Of single eye
glassed Englishmen we had run across
that afternoon In the British exhibit.
My pardner was mincing along,
giving an imitation OF one OF their
ludships' and. suddenly thinking of
the b0cent piece. ran HIS hand into
his pocket and lifting II to his eye be-
gan using II m Q monoclc. Just Mt
the height Of his antics the half.doliar
slipped from his eye. bounced and
rolled d few inches and clipped
through crock In the briQgs- moor
down into the sinking. slukstsh W.
ters OF the Chicago river. Twas
tragic. There was nothing to be said.
We just looked Mt one another for .
minute and tramped on across tho
bridge"
