See the hand-out he gave me for last Sunday full-page interview: 'Earl of Strathay Discusses American Society? "Some English won't stand for anything but a regular pie-faced story, but Strathay's a real good little man." "You said he had sixty-nine pairs of shoes," said Kitty reminiscently. "No; twenty-nine."
"He treated me like a hobo sent me to the kitchen for a hand-out. That sticks. If I hadn't tamed down considerably these late years, I'd have wound him up, right there." From beneath his drooping lids Ellsworth regarded the Ranger curiously. "You HAVE a bad temper, haven't you?" "Rotten!" "I know. You were a violent boy. I've often wondered how you were getting along.
It was the day before they were due to arrive in Kansas City that Billy earned a hand-out from a restaurant keeper in a small town by doing some odd jobs for the man. The food he gave Billy was wrapped in an old copy of the Kansas City Star. When Billy reached camp he tossed the package to Bridge, who, in addition to his honorable post as poet laureate, was also cook.
If he don't do it, he'd better, the women say, 'count of her knowing more about him than he knows she knows. I don't know what 'tis, but I hate her. All of us hate her." "Why doesn't some one speak to Mr. Johns? Certainly he can't know " "Yes 'm, he does. Joe Dickson and Bob Beazley told him once, and the next week they got a hand-out.

She'd be glad if she knew, an' it makes me feel better to act like she'd want. That old farmer guy, now. Who'd ever have taken him fer havin' a heart at all? Wen I seen him first I thought he'd like to sic the dog on me, an' there he comes along an' tells 'Maw' to pass me a hand-out like this! Gee! it's a funny world.
"I don't know," said he, "but what the biggest fun in chasing round the country is to get up from a pile of lumber where you've pounded your ear all night and get that funny railroad smell of greasy waste, and then throw your feet for a hand-out and sneak on a blind and go hiking off to some town you've never heard of, with every brakie and constabule out after you. That's living!"
I, having the only swell 'front, tackled a mansion, and the Irish servant-girl, to whom I told the truth, gave me a whole hand-out in a basket, enough for all of us. My brother hoboes swore I should be the travelling agent of the gang.

He figgers the feller young Alec shot up was one of them by name Peter Hara, of 'Frisco. The other, we haven't seen, he reckons is 'Hand-out' Lal. Another 'Frisco bum.
You are the ne plus ultra, non est cumquidibus, in hoc signo vinces, only and original kind of hand-out compellers." "How in the world did you do it?" asked the girl, rapturously. "Oh, it's easy when you know how," replied The Oskaloosa Kid carelessly, as, with the help of the others, he carried the fruits of his expedition into the kitchen.
If now youse could only let us have a snack it'd be doin' a real kindness, and we'd thank you straight; wouldn't we, Bill?" "Sure thing, Pepper, we would; got to have somethin', or we'll cave in; and like enough you wouldn't want our spooks to come back and ha'nt ye allers, kids.
