!
Nye was In Norfolk on lectuling tour, he
was introduced to Mr.. Kimberly, aud they
at once proceeded to the Virginia Club.
On entering the room Sam removed his hat,
when Nye discovered that his head was
about as bald as that of the noted humor-
list himself. He concluded 70 have some
fun at Sans expense and opened fire on
him in this way: " Captain Kimberly, / see
you use the same kind of hair re-
- do - al Ao
"and w-with the SESAME results"
After refreshments had been served be
tried another tact. Captain Kimberly
said he, what did you do TO cure your.
self from stammering." This would have
stumped an ordinary man. but Sam was
equal to the occasion. "D-d-do you
know" said be. II w-w-wouldn't be
Occurred II | c-c-could. !. w-w,;wouldn't
be half so d-d-damn funny" As a last effort
have you been bald, anyhow. Mr.
N-Nye." said Sam, I w-w-was b-b-born
that w-w-way."
NOT rot" LorA
Some of my Norfolk real estate friends
think my notice Of tho sale of lots OF vii
! loughby Spit may be- taken seriously by
people who don't understand the situsti
instead Of In q Pickwickian sense. As
matter of fact, there is nothing hot >
about those lots except the way they az
being bought up by people who know al
about the property. No tract Of land il
this section has met with such phenome
nal sale, and unless all signs fail it viii
have handsome hotel ready for visitors
within year.
