The Manufacturer and tho Dignified Man
 Have a Talk
 A man with hole in his hat, red nose, and his coat fastened together with horse shoe nail approached a well dressed and digni- fed resident of Brooklyn on Hamilton ferry boat and said:
 ''Sir, I see by the morning paper that we are going to have colder weather"
 The Brooklyn man looked at him hard, but didn't commit himself.
 'I was capitalist onct, to change the sub ject," said the man with the storm signal nose q don't look it now, do If'
 "No," replied the Brooklynite.
 'T was, though The last of large fortune has gone"
 "Whisky7n inquired the Brooklyn man. s'No, sir" decisively replied the man with the illuminated nose. ''Nothing of the kind Speculation, sir. I went up to Croton year ago and bought brick yard l tried all the dif'rent receips for making brick that l knowed and they all failed. Do you reckon orter have put salratus in them brick to make en raisef'
 "I am not engaged in the manufacture of bricks" said the dignifed man coldly.
 "Exactly-only wanted your private pin ion, podner," answered the man with the edi-

 "I don't know, sir," and the man from the City of Churches buttoned hiS overcoat up under his chin.
 ''Them bricks O mine wouldn't swell up an | fill the dish we baked lem in, you know went on tho ex-capitalist, as he pushed back a l lock of his hair that was escaping through the hole in his hat. q didn't have no re- ccipts for mixin' bricks 'cept ones picked up l had never run no brick bakery. l wa'n't no shelf. Yon know what I mean by shelf, do yous"
 ''Please have the goodness to direct your remarks elsewhere, will you" said the man from Brooklyn
 ''No offense sir, no offense," went on the other, fastening his coat a little closer with the horse shoe nail; 'I s'posed you was a'quainted with French, that was all aint no desire to use language that yoI don't git onto readily. meant want no head cook that's aI Mebby I socked too much yeast them brick.

 ''Let me alone or I'll have an officer take you in charge when we land"

 "Can 1t ten, old man, an I'll bank it til touch another gent for the forty.n 'No, sirl believe that you are an i'm poster and that what you told me abont you brick yard Is false," and the dignified ma arose.
