STARE AT HIM AND SEE THE RE-

There is a popularity about small
colOred boys which is not generally
known and which is at the same time
quite amusing to everyone but the sub
ject of the experiment If you see
small coored boy approaching you on
the street stare at him right hard as he
approaches and passes, and then keep
sight of him and note the result He
will walk along for fifty or a hundred
feet and turn and look to see if you are
still staring. Then it is you turn to
stare again. Pretty soon it is his time
to look again, and the process may be
kept up until the little chip of ebony is
several squares away or turns a cor
ner. But be careful and don't try it
On boy who has cut his wisdom
teeth.
