HE PROMISED TOO MUCH.
A Laborer Gets Three Meals. Some
Dishes and Sixty Cents from a
Mexico Lady and Then
Leaves.

On Friday evening last a laborer,
who from all appearances was an
irishman, called at the residence of
Mrs. l.. X. Crockett and asked if she
took ~boarders, to which she replied
that she did. The gentleman then said
that he wanted to board with her and
also that he had a brother who he
would bring around with him. He Of
fered Mrs. Crockett "a a week for
board, which is more than her regular
rates, and said he wanted a room with
"a stove in it and would furnish the fuel
himself. He talked in such a straight
forward way that Mrs. Crockett
thought she had struck a bonanza and
willingly accepted his offer.
He took supper with her that even
ing and breakfast Saturday morning
and after breakfast told her that as he
worked on the railroad he would not
be able to come in for dinner and
would like his dinner put up for him.
Accordingly Mrs. Crockett put him up
a nice meal and he left. In about half
an hour the laborer returned and said
that he had just received a telegram
that his mother was dead and that he
would have to leave at once for Ire
land.
His sad countenance and pitiful talk
rather worked on Mrs. Crockett's feel
ings and she sympathized with him.
He said he had 5000 in the bank, but
that he wanted to buy a draft and
needed about rs cents ready money,
Mrs. Crockett did not have any change
with her but borrowed sixty cents
from n friend. The Irishman was pro-
fuse in his thanks, and as he left re-
quested Mrs. Crockett to inform his
brother of the sad news when he
came to dinner. He left, and has moi
been e since, neither has hi:
brother. Mrs. Crockett is out three
meals, several pieces of queensware
and sixty cents, and is thankful thai
she Jared SO well.
