NICkELS ARE DESPISED.
Street Vendors Who Sell Nothing Less

Street Vendors Who Sell Nothing Less
Than Dimes Worth.
There are many stories in this city
where a nickel is not a welcome me-
dunn of exchange, because nothing so
cheap is sold, but it is hard to believe
that there is a street stand which
would not welcome fye-cent pur-
chase. II any one is curious in this re-
gard let him go to one of the fruit
stands In Cortlandt street, near the
Pennsylvania railroad ferry, and try.
to make such a purchase, says the New
York Tribune. "Let me have five cents
worth Of Cherries said man the
other day, pointing to a loose pile of
the little red fruit CAS- much as all
that" exclaimed the street merchant,
and not for single minute did he
cease busting a bunch of bananas. The
intending purchaser waited moment,
then crossed the street and repeated
his request to another stand. well,
you're a cheap one!" exclaimed the
vender "You want to spend a whole
nickel do your" He did not stop sort
ing oranges. The man who 1onged for
cherries tried a third stand. 1--WE
can't sell you less than a dimes worth
of anything at these stands" replied
the man in charge. You'll find an Ital-
ian up the street who will take the
lead money. The "cheap" man decided
he didn't want cherries after all, and,
going into a cigar store, bought a
whole bunch Of cigarettes with the
money.
