Musician had as presiding genius in
his culinary department negro woman OF
a social disposition, but Of somewhat
irascible temper. One night youthful
admirer, who was accustomed to make
frequent evening calls upon the ebony
Maria in her kitchen, prolonged his visit
20 a tiresome length. After Maria had
worn out every topic of conversation OF
which she was mistress she essayed to give
him a delicate hint as to her mental and
physical WEAKNESS by prodigious yawn.
Through some miscalculation as TO the
stretching capacity of her mouth, however,
she dislocated her jaw in the process.
The doctor was hastily summoned from
above stairs by the distracted young man,
who stood efficiently in the background
while Maria's jaw was put into working
order again.
The first use she made Of her recovered
power Of speech was to turn wrathfully
upon the trembling visitor and say in a
tone of whitening scOrn:
"P'raps de mex time yo' goes a-cailin an
