An Agreeable Walter.
They have been telling me about a
famous head waiter in a great restaurant
in this town, and I suppose all the men
know of him, who has grown rich lend-
ing money.
I never could get rich that way, I am
sure.
This particular philanthropist is
called Philip. possibly because that' 1
his name, and any hard pressed individ-
ual whom he knows, or knows about.
need never be short of funds.
Sometimes a man will forget to go to
the bank or won’t have his checkbook
with him, while he has immediate use
for some money, and that is an awk-
ward state of aflairs. So he hies him
away to Philip.
“Philip. can you let me have a bun-
dred until tomorrow? You know me,
Mr. -——- of —-— street."
“011i, monsieur. with pleasure."
So that chasm is bridged.
But when the hundred is paid next
day Philip expects to find it a hundred
and ten. and if he doesn’t he does not
look kindly upon the borrower or have
the funds upon the second application.
At least that is what I hear.
Of course no money is loaned to any
aloof doubtful credit, so lean easily
see how Philip‘s comfortable fortune ‘
can have been acquired—NewYork
