CERTAIN RICH MAN AND
 HOW THE JOKE WAS ON HIN
From the New York Sur

From the New York Sun. A story is being told of experience of wealthy bachelor, a member of d very old New York family, who takes a great deal of interest in charitable work, and who does a lot of Investigating on his own account
 Sometime ago he was walking on one of the streets of the lower Eastsde when he was accosted by wayfarer whose whole appearance indicated the depth of misfortune and misery. The tramp said he wanted the price of something to eat. The millionaire looked him over. T won't give you any money he said, but I'll be glad to buy you good square meal'
 The millionaire was very plainly dress
 ed. and the other. after looking him re-
 gretfully over. agreed to become his guest.
 They turned into a restaurant in the vi- | cinty, and the host let the man order
 what he wanted. He himself ordered a
 meal and ate.
 When it was finished the millionaire
 called for his check When it came he felt
 in his pockets. Not cent did he have. It was an embarrassing moment, but he sought to explain to the waiter. l None of that stuff goes here; we get
 too much of that kind of conversation. the attendant informed him. You pays l that check-see.'
 The man from uptown called for the
 manager and sought to explain the situ- I ation, but the manager. too, happened l to be from Missouri.
 | When the millionaire was arguing with | the manager, and protesting that he would pay the bill if time was given him he
 vas surprised by loud guffaw from the
 tramp across the table.
 "Bo," cried that worthy, leaning over
 and putting out his hand. you certainly | put one over on me. I never knew any
 body could fool me like that Why, l had no idea you were one of us. I'll pay
 the check and he did. producing a sum ! that was much more than sufficient.
