THE WICKED FLEE N THOSE remote, forgotten times in which our fathers lived and wrought, a man could pull off sundry crimes and seldom be exposed or caught. I well remember Baldwin Bore, whose gall was wondrously enlarged; he used to buy things at the store, and always, al- ways had them charged. The merchants used to chase him round imploring that he'd dig the kale; they trailed him to the village pound, they nagged him by the county jail. But Baldwin didn't’ care three whoops for merchants’ pleas or punk renown; and when his stand-off looped the loops he journeyed to some other town. And there he’d work the same old graft, until his credit bumped the bumps; at wailing creditors he laughed, and looked on them as dizzy chumps. The mer- chant princes of that day were easy marks, horse serse they lacked; they'd trust most any windy jay, nor find out how his credit stacked. But culture marches on, my friends, and merchant princes soon get wise; each day some old time system ends, each day ancient method dies. To-day the deadbeat finds it hard to put across his little scheme, be he a baker or a bard, or one who deals in warm ice cream. His stratagems are badly mixed, he’s seen the ancient graft decay; the merchant princes have things fixed so not a beat can get away. some | HERE comes a man from Broken Bow to fair La Jolla, by the sea; he says, “By James, no man can know the ghastly record won by me. In Broken Bow I ran up bills and never dug an ounce of kale; the merchants chased me o’er the hills, and through the cool sequestered vale. They chased me o'er the windswept lea, and by the sand hills dark and brown, and | swore they'd hang me to a tree if haply | And in this | they could run me down. town where I’m unknown I'll blow myself in every street, buy merchandize nor | spend a bone—and who'll denounce me as | a beat?” And to the bookstore then he goes, and thinks his prospect fair and bright; he asks for books of E. P. Roe’s, and noble works by Harold Wright. “Just charge it for a week or two,” he says, when pur- chasing is done; “I have large sums of rubles due, and soon I'll bring you in the mon.” The bookman says, “You'll dig the dough before you take the goods aw T have reports from Broken Bow which | We | d against such | tinhorn sports as you; we can't be flim- | claim you'll die before you'll p merchants now are organi flammed or surprised by any cheap leg- pulling crew.” Alas, the poor world-weary beat! His sad position seems a shame; there is no town, there is no street, where he can 7 his little game. His life was once replete with joy, no cloud upon his brow was seen; but now the merchant prince in ‘Troy puts wise the prince in Abil No matter where the beat may go, no matter where his flivver wheels, the record made in Broken Bow trots like a bandog at his nnot buy without the jack, | s closer than a leech; the merchant prince in Hacken the prince in Ocean Beach. Along his weary path he moves, and when he buys he has to pay; yet some men say the world improves, gets better every passing day. Watt Mason.
