A group of old time journeymen
printers other night were de-
scribing their wanderings up and
down and across the map of the
United States and pointing the de-
of their journeys with
little hard luck stories of their own
here and there. A
little man with a high fore-
head who been listening meek-
all evening to the reminiscences
of the others finally was moved to
speech.
I've worked in newspaper offices
and in nearly every kind
of a burg in this country from
lather Knickerbocker's town to
the shacks in Red Gulch, and

I have been a little more than
hungry at times, and used the

little journeys. But believe the
saddest and hopeless moment
of my life was in Chicago lute in
the fall of the year of the big Co-
exposition. Me and a pal
of mine had drifted in there from
the wide southwest somewhere, and
we were both just about broke. Our
clothes were getting thin, and the
October breezes, coming across the
lake were to chill us to the

the fifty cent piece, ran his hand
into his pocket and, lifting it to

Just at the height of his antics the
half dollar slipped from his eye,
bounced and rolled n few inches
and slipped through a crack in the
bridge floor down into the sluggish
waters of the Chicago river. It was
tragic. There was nothing to lie
said. We just looked at one another
for a minute and tramped on across
the Republic.
