SAUCE FOR GOOSE AND GANDER

A physician and his friend were
standing on the street corner of a Vir-
glnia town where they were spending
a few days. Their attention was
amuseingly arrested by the sight of an
old darky belaboring the tanks of a
mule in vain persuasion to make him
move on. At last the doctor was APP
pealed to-
Say, boss, I'll give you five dollahs
eff you'll make dis hyer mule co.
With a sly wink the physician opened
his case and took out his hyperdermic
syringe, filled the needle with an acid
and sent it into the hind quarters OF
the mule. The effect was magical.
With wild plunge the mule went
tearing down the street, with the darby
after him, the bystanders roaring with
laughter. A short time afterward the
darby, dust-covered and painting, ap-
preached again.
Say, boss-how much-was de wuff
of dat stuff-yo' done squht-in dat
mule?''
oh said the doctor. about 10
cents"
Down went the darky's hands in his
jeans pockets. He fished out two
dimes.
"Hyah, boss-am 20 cents. | wish
yo' would squht-twice as much of dat
stuff into me-'case Use bound-to
