The Vagabond must needs pass lightly over today's offerings. With a semi-interested glance he may perhaps take in Professor Haring's lecture concerned with our unruly neighbor to the South, but the Vagabond's real thoughts are on the morrow. For tomorrow Massachusetts celebrates Patriot's Day, and the Vagabond, not to be outdone in the last refuge of a scoundrel, intends to lead his followers to water and to worship at the historic shrines of Lexington and Concord.
In leisurely fashion will he journey on his donkey over the path once hoofed by the famous metal-worker, Paul Revere, pointing out on the way the common of Lexington and the minute man (not a railroad train) there standing guard. Wandering on to Concord--what an appropriate name that is for the home of our big shindig--he will elucidate to the assembled Vagabonds the story of the shot heard round the world. For he feels that only a wanderer can show a good Bostonian the beauties of the local scene. The Vagabond has no birthplace and no local pride, and so he has been able to show the Woolworth Building to New Yorkers, Independence Hall to Philadelphians, and the Loop to the inhabitants of our Western metropolis. And similarly he will not forget to teach Bay Staters to browse beside their far-sung rocks and rills.
