Show All ia Flu Ew. - A middle aged colored man entered a Brooklyn car the other erening with a basket containing wine in his hand, evidently evi-dently sent to make a delivery. He managed man-aged to get a teat, and when the conductor conduc-tor came around to collect his fare he never bothered about pocket or pocket books, but simply placed his hand on one of his capacious ears and drew forth the shining nickel. To say that conductor and passenger were surprised puts it mildly. The conductor, on recovering himself, thereupon remarked: "Why do carry your money there, captain?" 'Cause it's handy, sir," replied the son of Ham. and the passengers all laughed t the wrinkle in money pouches. It was observed that he carried another nickel in the other ear. New York Herald. |
