BUM, SLIPPING MENTALLY, CAN STILL MAKE OVER $21 A WEEK

Bumming is quite a trade around the Square of late. Yesterday two undergraduates were accosted by a well-dressed individual who announced that he made twenty-one dollars per week but would like two more dimes to help out this week, which, he avowed, was slightly behind on the quota.

Confounded by the man's honesty, the accosted pair coughed up at once. They were then profusely thanked by the stranger who announced that he was forced to care for his wife and her mother, who was insane.

"Sometimes I'm beginning to think I'm slipping, too," he mused, as he wandered off toward the next man.
