\ JUDGED BY :
f HIS COAT:
:
Tile smooth faced, chubby looking
man of 40, whose long and fashionably
cut overcoat was ornamented with a
heavy mink collar and equally heavy
mink cuffs, entered the smoking car at
Philadelphia, deposited his hag In the
rack overhead and as the ear was
somewhat chilly kept his overcoat on
while he pulled out a pretty good elgar
and started in on the enjoyment of a
smoke.
The man In the seat across the aisle
seemed lo be pretty comfortable owing
to the attention he'd been paying to his
big sliver flask since the departure of
the train from New York, nnd when he
saw the smooth faced, genial looking
man with the fur trimmed overcoat he
handed the flask over to him, saying:
"Have a pull at that, chum. It's chilly
in here."
"Thanks," said the mail with the fur
trimmed overcoat, smiling amiably,
"but I've Just hail luncheon."
After awhile a flashy looking rliap
enme in from one of the day conches
and took a seat alongside the man with
the fur trimmed overcoat. He sized up
the man with the fur trimmed overcoat
out of the tail of his eye, lit a cigar
and inquired of his seat mate:
"Well, how are they running for you'
Picking the winners?"
"I don't believe I quite catch your
meaning," said the man willi the fur
collar and cuffs good naturedly.
His questioner grinned.
"Ah, come off," ho said banterlngly.
"X mean are you nailing the babes that
are getting over the plate flrst?"
"Still," said the man with the fur
trimmed overcoat, "I think I fail to
apprehend you."
"Oil, quit your Joshing," said Ills seat
mate. "Are you playing the ponies that
are running at San Francisco or at
New Orleans, and how're you making
out?"
"Oh, now I think I understand you,"
said the man with the fur trimmed
overcoat, beaming. "The running
horses, I take it, you allude to? Well.
I am not 'playing them,' as you put It.
at all."
"I'assed the game up, eh?" said his
seat mate.
"Well, 1 can't say that I have, really,
seeing that I never did engage In the
practice of wagering money on horse
races," said the man with the fur trim
med overcoat quite amiably. "It's a
practice of which I scarcely approve."
His seat mate pulled out a flask and
offered it to the smooth faced genial
looking man.
"Hit this up. It's the right goods,"
ae said cordially.
"I think not," said the man with the
fur trimmed overcoat quite beamingly.
"Aside from the fact that I've just eat
en, I don't use spirits in any form."
"Ah. say, pal, cut out that stringing,"
said Ills seat mate. "Anybody could see
that you're a dead game, all right, by
your make up. hike to join in a little
game of hearts or seven tip or even 10
cent limit poker just to pass the time
away? I can soon get a bunch of fel
lows together."
"Well." said the man with the fur
collar and cuffs, "I hardly think so to
day. I never play cards."
"Say, now 1 know you're a kiddcr,"
said his seat mate. "You don't ex
pect me to swallow a coin like 1 hut, do
you—that you don't ever hit up the old
red eye or juggle the pasteboards or
put a little piece of change on the
ponies when you've got a front on
you like that—mail with a coat like
you're wearing?"
The man with the suspected over
coat smiled.
"My friend," said he, "permit me to
put you right. I am a minister of the
gospel, and I live in Baltimore. My
own overcoat was stolen from me in n
hotel in Fhilndelpliia yesterday and
one of my Philadelphia friends who
is somewhat addicted to things of this
world loaned me the overcoat you now
see me wearing until I can have an
other one made. Tut, tut! No harfn
done. Don't mention it! Here are my
card and the address of the church in
Baltimore of which 1 am rector, and if
at any time you should feel like re
newing your spiritual strength while
you are sojourning In Baltimore I
should be delighted to have you call
upon me. Er—come to think of it,

was stolen from me. But never mind.
