MEETING a fat and patriotic1 Statesman on his way to Washington to
beseech2 the President for an office, an idle Tramp accosted3 him and
begged twenty-five cents with which to buy a suit of clothes.
"Melancholy4 wreck," said the Statesman, "what brought you to this
state of degradation5? Liquor, I suppose."
"I am temperate6 to the verge7 of absurdity," replied the Tramp. "My
foible was patriotism8; I was ruined by the baneful9 habit of trying
to serve my country. What ruined you?"
"Indolence."
