while they were in New Orleans they would
for once have tirst-cass hotel dinner
They could afford it, and they would Just
like to sec how it would go, SO they went
to the st. Charles Hotel, and ordered the
very best dinner that that establishment
could afford. When they had eaten to
their complete and entire satisfaction land
the probable astonishment of the waitersl
they called for their bill, The waiter in
attendance misunderstood them, and sup.
posing that they wanted the bill of fare,
laid it before them, with the wine-list up.
perinost. Now these flat-boat men. like
many of their class, could "fgure,'' but
they could not read ''writiu, - aud the Yinc.
list was printed in script.
"Whew, Bill ~ said Jerry "hcrc's bill,
just look at it Here, you add up one side
and 1'll add up the other, and we'll SEQ
what the who'll thing comes to-"
30 Diii ADDED up The prices OF wines on
one side of the list and Jerry added them
up on the other, and they made the sum
total 1854.
"Wh-ew, Bill !" said Jerry, "That's
pretty nigh all we've got What are wo
goin' 10 do about it y,
"We can't pay that" said Bill, ''it 'ud
clean us right out. The waiter amt here
now, lets jump out o. the window and
put !"
NO, Stree said Jerry, 'I'd never do
