A Disappointed Mosquito.

"Well, sab, nevah laughed so in my bon
days" shouted Whistling Charley as he
pushed his hand-cart up TO the curbstone,
slapped his thighs and sat down and roared.
Then he made an effort to straighten his
face up seriously but the ripples of fun
again crept over his sable countenance, he
threw back his head, dropped his lower
law and roarcd till the streets echoed once
more.
"Now, boss" he continued, beckoning to
the STAR man, 'twasn't muffin but skeet-
er; one OBJ desc yere monstus big swamp
skecters-yah yah. yah!-an l seed him
down heah at de Fountain Squa', tryin' to
draw blood-yah! yah! yah!-O, yah!
yahm-and the poor old chap beat his
thighs harder than ever in perfect parox-
ysm of cachination. .
"Wcll," interrupted the STAR man, ''and
did he draw b'ood?'
80, draw blood Now, boss, you's jest a
shoutin. Fo de Lo'd, | tot I'd die laugh
in at dat skeeter tryn' to git in his work
and draw blood-O, yah! yah! Who does
you reckon he was tryin' to draw blood
from? 0. golly, Use gwine TO die laugh
in yit at dat fool skeeter"
Our youth suggested that perhaps the in
sect was experimenting with its penetrative
powers upon Von., the policeman, but
Charley only laid back in his cart and
laughed the louder
so, 'twasnt dat. 'Twasn't no pleeceman
yah! yah! yah! BY golly, boss, it was
an Injun. Sho' as yous bon, dat skeetel
bored and bored for fo' hours on one OF
desc yere wooden Injuns dat STAINS out TO a
cigar store!"
Then the ancient African arose, wiped
his perspiring face with his coat sleeve and
trundled his cart away, whistling "Olc
Hundred" till you could hear him mile
