1t was very funny to see one o
the sons of Ham going up the stree
the other night at rapid son-of Han
speed, accelerating as he went, ant
son OF Shem running after him
bawling at the top of his voice--like
a certain animal whose name We
blush to speak-in words to the fol
lowing intent: Stop thief! STOP
thief! The story goes that certain
white man wanted some "bug juice,
and not being able to get it himself
handed silver dollar to negro
who promised to smuggle him a bot
tie of the "juice." The negro took
the money, started off to find a juice
house, but when he reached the cor
ner he was suddenly taken with {
desire TO be treasurer, and to thai
end he simply few. The other fel
low lost his dollar, learned a lesson
and governed his appetite.
