Show Familiar to "Mike." A negro clairvoyant who for some time masqueraded as a Hindoo was recently visited by a collector, Mike O'Conner. "Ah," smiled the clairvoyant, "ze genzelman wantz ze palm read?" "No," said Mike, "ze genzelman has ze bill for you." When the bill was produced the palm reader forgot his Hindoo ancestors an-cestors and a stream of perfect Eng lish swear words poured from his lips. "Ah," said Mike, smiling, "ze genzelman gen-zelman sounds more like ze Indiana avenue zan ze Hindoo." Indianapolis t News. |
