Of lot of guys that are paying

with a multimillionaire he makes
no more conversation than a little
neck clam that is at the bottom Of

There Is a very sappish guy In
my old home town by the name Of
Try w. Tewksbury, who is looked
down on by one and all because OF
the fact that he is an oil-can on
all sorts of information and
knowledge. He is by way of being
paralyzed from the Adams apple
up, and II you haul of and ask him
a simple question like what is the
capital OF England he will probably
tell you Lloyd George. He believes
that Sandy Hook is a Scotchman.
No attention is paid to this person
at all. and IL he says anything is
so, you believe II is not so, because
he does not know enough to pound
sand In a rathole, as the saying
goes.
But what happens but a distant
relative dies and leaves this poor
fish $4,000. and he is all Of a sud
den the richest bird in our midst.
Public opinion about Try changes
very fast. People all believe they
have made a great mistake about
his mentality, and while they have
been thinking he is full OF feathers
he Is all the time full OF brains.
They see lot Of good points about
this dumbbell that they have never
noticed before. It even turns out
that he has a very handsome fSger|
. and a distinguished carriage.
Try Is no longer the town boob,
but becomes very wise cracker
on al things philosophical and lit
erary and scientific. II he says
that the moon is made Of green
cheese nobody questions II, because
he has got $4,000, and any bird
with $4,000 must know what he is
talking about. He is honorary vice.
