A Very Easy Thing.
One of the easiest things in this world is
to be nobody. And one of the surest way
to do this is to go to a drinking salom to
Spend one's leisure time. There you will
find a groat company-of nobodies, and as
sociation with such characters produce no
bodies in others. Yon need not drink
much at first; just a little beer or some
other strong drink until yon become more
accustomed to the staff. In the meantime
play dominoes, checkers, "eucher" or
"high-low-jack," smoke a cigarette or a
"twfor" cigar listen to musty stories am
Jokea and "tuer worthies conversation, si
that you will he sure not to have tinin to
read usful books. If you do read any
thing it will be of the dime novel stamp,
about the wonderful and impossible hair
breadth adventures of rascals of varlo'it
deitrees. Thus go on and keep your stom
ach hill and your head empty, playtime
killing game, and iu a few years yon will
be a thoroughbred nobody, unless you
should turn out a professional gambler or
thief, either of which Is worse than even it
nobody.
There are a grat many young men
hanging about saloons, or street corner,
just ready tn graduate and to t,e nhndien
a nniauc to themselvas, to their frieml,
hi id to the community generally.
Boys are you ttoing t. train in the no
