A hungry negro was attracted
into Stewart’s store the other day
by a lot of axle grease. Seeing

H. N. “Has you got any dese lit¬

J, G. “Yes.”
II. N. “Well gim me one 0’ dem
little cheeses and a nickle’s wof
sweetnen crackers.”
Joe complied with the negro’s
request and received the 15 cents.
The negro retired to the rear of the
store. Reappearing in a few mo¬
ments, Joe questioned him thus:
“Well, did you eat your cheese
and crackers?”
II. N. “Yes Boss,”
J. G. “How did you like them !”
H. N. “Well, boss, dem little
sweetnen crackers was about as fine

may be that he has tried and failed.
If that be the case, we will make
allowances for the way in which fie
writes. Any way we will try to
sympathize with the dashing youny
