A CHEAP SKATE.

1t is my purpose to relate the
story of one A. Cheap Skate-a
man of my acquaintance who is
doubtless also known by you.
He has of coin a goodly heap
but Is so stinEY and so cheap
that no one yet has made him
see the good of generosity.
He stints himself to hoard and
save the wealth to which he is
n slave-nor has he ever yet
been known to think of profit,
save his own.
A. Cheap Skate is so cheap
skate that he is loath TO sepa-
rate from any portion of his
gold-and thus his whole life's
tale is told.
But how this man could hope to
gain from such n course. ! can't
explain. for he must pull his
freight some day and cannot take
his wealth away.
