4 CAPITAL JOKE We were told, a few days
since, the following piece Of ''skinning." as it
was called, and which is too good TO be lost,
ShowIng at the same time the straits q certain
class OF gentleman are put to in making a
raise
A we'll known case who was hard up for
money, meeting brother chip in the street,
told him If he would walk across the street, 20
INTO the front door IF the hotel opposite and in
walking in be very lame in his right leg. but
come out N few minutes and be very lame in
his left leg, he would make IL ''all right" with
nm some time. Without asking why or what
fore, the fellow did as requested, and the
skinner, going up TO gentleman, remarked
10 HIM how lame that man was just going into
the hotel. The gentleman said he was not
lame IN his left leg, which the other insisted
wasso But 10 settle the matter, the skinner"
immediately proposed a bet of SI0, that tho
man was lame in bis left log, which the gen.
Gcnan accordingly took up. The money was
posted, and IA few moments out came the
fellow. so desperately lame in his left leg.
that ie could scarcely get down the steps of
the hotel, and Of course the gentleman lost his
6et, though he could scarcely believe his own
eyes, Tor although the man came out lame in
his lett, he was perfectly certain he went in
lame IN his right leg, but, at the same time, he
never imagined any collusion between the
PARTIES We have heard Of many ways of
''raising he wind. but this goes little ahead
