The Man In White
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1915. by Frank Crans)

There is man In New York City who
all the year round. winter and summer,
walks the stretes bare-headed and dress
ed only In his underwear, white trousers,
and white shirt. His name Is Percy
Richards. The trouble with him In that
he has ideas.
l like to see him. He Is fine, upstand-
ing fellow. broad shouldered, with clear
blue eyes and pleasant expression. But
his peculiar attraction Is that he u .
rebel.
l love all rebels. protestants, non-con-
tormists, and minorities. love courage
Of any kind. Nothing is so beautiful -
defiance.
/. And it takes more courage to be bold
alone than with a crowd. The devotees
OF fevered patriotism. the enthusiasts
party men, the rampant sectarians, and
the like, doubtless are brave enough In
their way, but the lone fighter is Drawer.
There were the militant suffragettes of
England before the war. They smashed
windows and city ordinances; they
shrieked and paraded and pestered. They
made themselves magnificent nuisances.
IL was their way. We timid souls CEN
sured and admired them.
Then there were the passive resisters,
Of the same tight little island.
And we have with us the birth control
protesters.
And the anarchists
And Percy Richards.
Life would get rather stagnant with
out these stirrers-up We all have . ten
1ency TO slump down into conformity.
Age dulls our teeth. Many a promising
ripstsver and swashbuckler Of twenty
one is drowned in the bog of respecta-
bility by the time he is forty.
But new apostles spring UP. Tbs
minority is always with Us. The liter
ature Of protest goes o. forever. The
radical the outlaw, the reformer, the
untamed, they help along. Even those a
us who are too lazy, ease-loving or undo
.ided to take our stand on anything
against everything are glad that others
have more courage and less prudence.
We get tired of the eternal pussy-fook-
ing and side-stepping Of the majority,
tired of the dreadful price Of boredness
we must pay for social position, tired Of
contemplating the innumerable things We
mustn't do, mustn't say, and mustn't
think
Then we see the man in white striding
nagnifcently down Fifth avenue In his
tennis clothes, and we say:
eco it. Percyl We don't know just ex-
actly what it's all about, but we're for
you" -

Where Paprika Comes From

Ten years ago agents OF the
