[Illustration: PROFESSIONAL INSTINCT.
_Kindly Gentleman_ (_from True Blue Club_). "AND WHAT HAS BROUGHT YOU
TO THIS DEPLORABLE CONDITION? DRINK?--GAMBLING?"
_Gentleman of the Pavement_ (_spotting his man_). "NO, INDEED, SIR; MY
MISFORTUNES ARE ENTIRELY ATTRIBUTABLE TO FREE TRADE, MONOMETALLISM,
AND THE DEATH DUTIES."
[_Immediate relief on a generous scale._
