by a business man of Oregon City.
Sunday he saw a hobo come to the

been much bothered with the hand
out solicitors, he did not answer the
summons. The man left, and as he
went across the lawn to the walk he
picked up a rotten apple under a tree
and began to eat it. The business
man said that exhibition of hunger
got him. He called the man back,
set before him this bill of fare, and
the hobo ate every morsel of it:
four big slices of bread, half a leg of
mutton, a whole pie, two apples,
three cookies and drank three cups
of tea. "The man said he had not
eaten anything for two days, and he
must have told the truth by the way
he put away the food," said the Good
Samaritan.
