A clever little bit of human nature

Gently on a matron living in a suburb
OF Plttsburg, and as result he slept
with a full stomach that night.
The suburb is quite small, and when
the tramp dropped off a freight and
ambled up the main street he was quite
hungry. There were about ten houses
which gave fair chance of meals, and
the tramp lost no time. He was not
surprised when the first housewife
slammed the door in his face, nor the
second, for that was natural and the
proper thing to do. But when he
reached the ninth house, or rather was
helped away, he was thoroughly dis
gusted. The town certainly had him
hoodooed.
After short rest and deep think
the hungry one knocked at the door
of the tenth house.
Madam, can you let hungry man
have a bite to eat? | don't think you
can, though" he said. The woman
opened her ears.

didn't have enough for yourself"
