TALL STORY ABOUT A CAB BILL -
Another of those Englishmen, how
they are bizarrel Sir William Dragcs
haiied cab at Brighton about a year
ago and told the driver to take him
to the pier off which Sir Draggs had
his yacht. He told the cabman to
wait for him, meaning to cruise about
off Brighton for an hour or two, but
changing his mind he determined to
60 around the world. The cabman
waited and waited, and finding that
his "fsre" did not come back, he OBJ
tanned leave from the municipality to
erect n shelter for himself and horse.
Here be waited for more than a
twelve month, when the other day
Sir Draggs returned with his yacht,
and was not at all surprised to find
the cabman waiting for him. "How
much do / owe you?" he said. and
upon the cabman handing him a bill
for 5000, he tore check out Of his
book, filled it up for the amount aud
told the man TO drive him to his hotel.
To illustrate the extortionate charac-
ter of cabmen, the man asked Sir
Draggs for his fare from the pier to
the hotel.-Paris Gaulois.
