(Copyright. 1828 Clothes and Men | S st | The millionaire can well afford to wear old clothes of faded dyes, and look as though he owed for board and for the room he occupies. He does it oft in self-defense, so deiegates who pass the hat, to gather shillings, pounds and pence, won't take him for a plutocrat. He does it 50 all men may think, when he appears. with careless stride, that he's & democratic gink, and not puffed up with phony pride. He does it, too, be- cause he knows he's pointed out-to| stranger folk as one who, wearing seedy | ciothes, could buy the town and not go | broke. And so his tarnished rags he flaunts, as he goes skipping out of doors; if he looks broke, it's what he wants, he thus escapes pandhandling bores. The r man cannot take a chance, hej’ mt look like a million bones if he would prosper and advance, and gather coin and precious stones. 1f he wears linen that is stained. and trousers baggy at the knees, the village moralists are pained, and liken him to low-grade cheese.

And he reached to wake ma up and the fat man pushed him away agen, saying. Any woman who goes to sleep on my shoulder is a little gerl to me and compared to my usual average it is-a gross ixaggeration to say I have bin drinking, now let the little gerl sleep.
