person IN Greece. if not IN the world.
A man with that reputation is sure to
be noticed
This man was very much noticed, not
only because he was homely, but be
cause he talked
He talked with any one who would
listen; potters, bakers, poets. teachers,
soldiers, sons Of rich men-everybody,
In fact, was welcome to stop and listen.
He drew a bigger crowd than you
see standing around the Sidewalk ped
ulers IN Fourteenth street And he was
not selling things. either
ne was giving something away free
siStls' 20 anyone who would take it.
The name Of the thing he gave away
was Wisdom
A good many who stood listening to

the laugh on them, Just as a good MANY
