Drawing the Line.

“No, Augustus,” wrote a kind and indulgent parent to his son at college, “I cannot grant your request. I have already cashed your drafts for the breech-loading shot-gun, the Indian clubs, the S3OO racing shell, the dumbbells, the bicycle, the sailing yaobt, boxing-gloves, sand bags, fencing foils, and the silver-mounted i evolver. But I cannot pay for the gamhlingi mplements which you suggest. I draw the line at faro chips.”— Texas Mftings.
