An arrival on an early morning train stalked up Main street in quest of his business destination. He was a walk ing advertisement of the finest tailoi iwork yet developed. He waa not a dude though exquisitely dressed, because he wore his Bplendid raiment wlth the indiilerence that the 'Jerry alias railway lattorer mounts thq C-a-a-r. But he was more disttnguish ed for a peeuliarity of his costume than for lts beauty and altogethei fitness. Instead of the traditional sill or cambric emblem protruding from his left breast pocket was a common ten-cent bandauua handkerchief. Said the astonished Bohemian newspaper man exclusively noting the incongruIty: "My dear sr, you must have a special occasion for displaying that cbeap rag1." "Yes, sir," he saild, "I have. When Cleveland and Thurman werc defeated I vowed, and I am rich, that neither for private or any public use in or out of soji)ety would I ever use any other 'kerchief than the 'olc bandanna' until one or the other is eledted president or till Cleveland Í9 dead unelected. I shall cheerfully ful fil this vow."
