Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-05-21

Jewett Adams thought to play joke on the
Governor and few friends, and 80 invited
them over to Thaxt er's soda fountain to have
a drink. Mr.. Adams knew the fountain was
not in running order and thought what good
| joke it would be on the crowd.
"Now just name your favorite sprup,
boys" he said, and they ramed right through
! the list Of pineapple, raspberry, lemon, va
| nilla, ETC.. and Adams could hardly hold in
from thinking how glum they would look
when Mr. Thaxter would lean over the
counter and remark: fan 80. .r..f.
"Sorry, Gentlemen, but the machine isn't
fixed" pa. ri l.tr
But then Thaxter did nothing of tho kind +;
he just filled all the glasses and served all
hands with:
"Just got it running few minutes ago !;
you are the first gentle,aen who have been
in" aert...zaa s,r az
This spoiled all of Adams's fun, and the
big laugh he had on hand he concluded to
cork up until more favorable opportunity
presented itself. Then he got a $50 piece
changed and went On his way wondering if the
crowd suspected anything.

A Slow EXPRESS CoMPANY.-Jn spite of
