Colored Mans Woes.
IF ever l make up my mind to get mar
ried again. said a coIOred man from the
country to group of sightseers at the
ner of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street
this morning, Il amt coming to Washing
ton when President is going to be inau-
gurated."
why not?' he was asked.
Cost too much was the answer. when
we made up mind to get married this
girl of mine said she wanted to come when
railroad fare would be cheap and it wouldn't
be so expensive, but she don't know much
about it
Did you get married." queried an inquisi-
tive man in the group
There wasn't anything else to do after
we got here" the stranger said. We had
paid our railroad fare and had the money
for the license, but not much for the par
son and the hotel. l went to a hotel where
my friends used to get lodging for quar-
ter and they charged me 10 cents, and
when we ordered breakfast the waiter
asked me for a tip and made me pay him
60 cents for what had to eat. Down in
my country we could get a good dinner
for 10 cents and the waiter wouldn't eX-
pect a tip
How much of a tip did you give him.
Not a cent was his reply, and l told
him | wouldn't come there again
The stranger concluded by saying he had
paid so much for his lodging and meals
that he would have to return home today
and end his honeymoon sooner than he had
intended.
