Brother Hyams VIII please take NO
fico that Confrerc Shanks reached Ba-
ton Rouge with gentleman who had a
fen dollar bill in his pocket, which fact
caused Sl,anks to put on sight of airs.
He caused his friend to tender it to us
10 pay q small debt. OF course he forced
.s into the humiliating position of hay
ing to admit that we were too poor to
make the change. When We started to
90 to tho corner, he showed his distrust
by following up our footsteps, so that
wc had to treat him to q lemonade or 20
before we got through. To his credit,
be it said, he couldn't show o single
nickel over and above that huge bill.
How he managed to dead head himself
across the river, in the evening, the
ferry man alone can say.
