The speaker was Mrs. Caroline

who founded the American antiyivi-

my friend Stephen Coleridge, the
English anti -vivisectionist," she con-

poet was a great friend of little John

poet PRETENDED to Johnnie and actually
made him believe that he was the
little boys horse.
HE kept up this joke for several
years. In fact Matthew Arnold often

"Nels, my friend" said the janitor
to his assistant, as the latter entered
the furnace room carrying his dinner
bucket, "Nels, my friend, / have a
word or two for your ear. 1t don't
matter which ear; either one of them
is big enough to take in all I've got to
say, and then some. Just listen,
that's all. Sit down and eat your
so much noise but what can make
myself heard.
Il take notice that you turned down
the nice hammered, clean cut young
man that was trying to sell you a suit
of clothes. Why? Got another suit,
have you? Sure you have. l seen it
on you Sunday afternoon and l had
to go lie down and have the old wom-
an rub my head with camphor. It's
a wonder you wasn't arrested. Nels,
my friend, that suit might be all
right back where you come from or
in a museum, but in this country a
nobhy dresser has his pants legs come
down to the tops of his shoes any
way, and his coat collar amt con-
structed SOS it tits his hat down on
the tip of his nose. l bet that 9th
er suit of yours is hairloom-a sure
enough -me-down-through four

young man would have fitted you out

If they was made in this here pres
ent century, clothes that would have
been as good as your second papers to
you; but you turn him down.
Don't tell me that you can't afford
it," continued the janitor, severely.
THE young man was the best judge
of that. l heard him say that you'd
have six months to pay for the suit,
and longer, if you needed it. Let me
tell you man can afford anything
that he can get credit for. Keep that
in mind and you'll wear diamonds be-
fore you're through. You're a young

out of your head.
"a man who keeps out of debt and
saves money amt got a friend on
earth. He can't afford to have one.
You know what friend is, Nels, don't
you? He's fellow that comes
around and taps you when he's hard
up. Maybe he'll stand for a touch
when you get in the same fix, but
most generally you just happen to
strike him at the wrong time. Still,
friends are good things to have if you
don't do too much for them and get
'em sore on you, and I'd certainly
hate not to have any. You're saving
money, amt you? Sure. l knew you
was, and you don't owe nobody No,
l didn't suppose you did. Well,
leaving me out, who is there that's in
terested in you? Nobody You pay
cash for everything you get and con-
sequently it's expected of you, so
that if you stopped doing it nobody
would trust you for cent. Run
your face, Nels, my friend. Run your
face, and pay a little something once
in while, and you can have anything
you want as long as you want it. But
you can't do it in them other clothes
of yours.
And as long as you're in debt,
you've always got somebody interest
ed in you. If you're out of a job,
they'll boost you for another one If
you're sick, they'll see that you don't
