THE FAT MANS LITTLE JOKE.
tain and Got His Large
Party Aboard.

A Coney Island excursion steamer was
leaving New York with but few passengers
aboard. The boat had just cast off, says the
Sun, when a stout man with a very red face
rushed down the pier, and, hourishing his
stick, shouted: Hey, captain! Put back
back her quick. Here's a large party wants
to CO."
The captain was at first derisive, but final
ly shouted from the pilot house: How
large is the party?"
For an instant the fat man hesitated, then
he yelled back: Between 60 and TO-"
As soon as the captain heard this number
he instantly ordered the steamer back and
made fast again. The fat man waddled
across the gangplank, and, picking out a
nice deck seat, famed himself with his
straw hat. Meanwhile the captain and his
crew waited for the party to arrive. After
waiting five minutes and more, the captain
turned impatiently toward the stout man
and asked: where's your party between
go and 70? This boat can't wait all day for
them?"
"Oh, that's all right" replied the fat pas
senger, with a bland smile. I'm the party
-65 to-day, sir"
The captains face grew redder even than
the passengers as he furiously rang the bel
to steam ahead, but the fat man at once be.
came the hero Of the boat.
