There arc o groatmany slang phrases
and odd onsweres given, especially in
the street, but the following if not origi-
nal is at least new in these "diggings."
A dealer who wished to buy load of
corn, accosted farmer on foot, passing
with a load Of that article and asked.
"Whut do you ask for that corn
"How!"-nOt stopping his team.
~ say what do you want for your
corn"
"Whoti' asked the farmer, with
great earnestnoss still driving on.
"Here | want to buy your corn"
shouted the anxious mau as the farmer
was getting almost out Of hearing.
To this the farmer shouted Ia return.
"Dont bother me, l am looking for q
woman with arOg on her head.
The byslandors and the would'bo'
buyer laughed themselves into the con-
clusion that the farmer had already sold
his corn and knew where he was going.
