A couple of performing bears with the ta-dah-de-dah
accompaniment amused the small boys on the streets last Monday.
He was an old man, gray-haired and wrinkled, and he was a
typical tramp. He was dirty and, on the alert, looking for a kick or a blow. I
was in the waiting room killing time waiting for my train. He passed the
policeman unnoticed and was about to address me when a handsome and elegantly
attired gentleman approached. They stared at each other for a moment when the
handsome gentleman pulled out his pocketbook and handed it to the tramp. The
tramps face changed, and color appeared. He took but one bill from the large
amount of bills and put it in his pocket returning the pocketbook to the
gentleman. Not a word was said when the man asked him if would only take one more,
but the tramp turned and walked away. After a few minutes the gentleman roused
himself as his train was called. He passed by me going out the door and
remarked. “One of the debts a man can never fully repay – a reminiscence of
Shiloh.”

Young men insist on making calls Sunday afternoons in the summertime,
but girls don’t like it because they have to dress up. When a girl goes home
from church on Sunday, she takes off her heavy clothes and puts on some thin

fans himself in the hammock.
