New Use for WatermeiOnS.

Mistaken kindness sometimes pro-
duces embarrassing results, as was the
case in Houston, Texas, the other day.
A lady tainted suddenly in a street car
in which Glanced to be an amiable
darkey, carrying huge watermelon.
Seeing the demands of the case, the
darkey acted promptly. His watermelon
had been on ice all day, and he knew it.
Without moments hesitation he broke
the fruit in two and clapped one portion
of it upon the lady's head. The cooling
application was just the thing. The
lady recovered consciousness promptly,
and if she failed to thank the darkey,
her besmeared condition may have had
something TO do with it. The darkey
didn't mind the neglect, though smiling
benignantly he sat still, gnawing away
at the remaining half of his melon and
proud i'll the consciousness of having
done a good deed. And it Was good
deed so far as his intentions went. Than
to divide his watermelon there is no
greater proof of self-denial i'll the Fiji
teenth amendment.
