Show Eating Higher Up. Bert Swor, famous delineator of dark'y types, hails from Fort Worth. Tex., where he had exceptional opportunities oppor-tunities for studying the character which he now impersonates in a pro-' pro-' fessional way. Swor loves to tell about a certain dusky swain who. when he found the door closed against him, tried to cozen his sweetheart with soft promises. After long and unsuccessful coaxing Henry tried a masterstroke. "Better let me in, honey," he said, "kase I's got sumfln' you all like." "What is it?" inquired Clarissa, suspiciously. sus-piciously. "Pigs' feet." With a sniff of contempt Clarissa retorted re-torted : "Go on away wif youah pigs' feet; I done got me a new beau an' now I am eatiu' higher up on de hawg." |
