A shrewd Negro.

A traveller came along to the gate of a
humble cabin in a town in Alabama just as
an old negro handed couple of jugs to his
son, who was about ten years of age, and
said: Now, Julius, yo' gwan down to de
grocery an git quart o treacle in one OBJ
dem jugs, an hurry back" When the boy
had gone the traveller said to the father:
you didn't tell him to get anything in
the other jug; is he going to leave it at the
grocery?

home," he replied.
But why send two jugs to get quart OF

each hand he can't go dipping his finger in
