York Sun.
A faccid and callow-looking young man,
who wore white overgaiters, vanished
boots, shooting blouse and high hat,
tripped nimbly into the barroom OF the
Hotel Brunswick the other day and cried
cheerfully to the bartender:
'Oi say there, boy, a paony."
"Pony of what?" asked the man behind
the bar, with cold Bostonian stare.
"Paony of brawndy. " know"
It chanced that he turned right here and
jolted against Edward Gilmore, who was
holding up the bar with easy and graceful
nonchalance, while he explained to the
ceiling:
'This iswhat call an in memoriam visit.

from the blouse of the faccid young man,
put it into his own trousers pocket, dropped
deep medieval courtesy and said to the

he drifted out, and presently bell-boy

OF the lost SO bill the following note, in a
