Show AN INCIDENT.-Human nature is a curious study. The other night at the Union depot one of the depot hands, while sweeping out, thought he saw a twenty-five cent bit under one of the benches. He went down on his knees immediately and covered the piece with his hand. While he was in this position a well dressed lady tapped him on the shoulder and said: "I just dropped that." "What is it, madam?" was the gentlemanly interrogatory. "I think it is a quarter." He placed it, without further parleying, in her hand, and she, tightly holding it, went away. What was her dismay to discover that it was a peppermint lozenge. -New Haven Register. |
