rare OCCASIONS. This remarkable
little man of wire is on the go or
rather on the run, from morning un-
til night and is never sick day. He
seldom walks but goes on little
"dog trot' which he can keep up for
hours. Many Mansfield citizens have
seen him on the street as he sells his
Sunday papers He keeps up with a
horse which is attached to buggy
that carries the papers. Though
Daddy" must stop at many houses
and the horse keeps going, be always
manages to keep near the rig where
he can get fresh supply of papers
When the disciple of frugal living
declared he lived on IL cents a day
there was a clamor of How do you
do it, Daddy?"
Easy enough, answered the de-
termined looking little man. "I live
on bread and coffee and sugar and
can live very well on IL cents a day
| started in years ago to beat ths
capitalists and this is the only way
| | could figure I could do it,"
Daddy" has had remarkable
I career having received his schooling
| in the highways of the world He
was turned out by his step-father
when he was 10 years old and told to
shift for himself and this he has al
ways done. Meeting with financial
reverses, Daddy" made firm reso-
| luton that henceforth he would be
a trust buster" and his hand has
ever since been against che capital
lists.
Singlehanded, Daddy" could find
no way of grsppling with the trusts
but to starve them out. This is the
sling this man is using in valiant
effort to slay the giant.
