SAM GOT THE PANTS.

In Savannah there lived well-to-do
young man who was noted for his i'm
maculate appearance and who, in fact,
was considered the Beau Brummel OF
that city.
He had a negro valet named Sam,
who had just two ambitions in life
one, to please his master, and the other
to some day marry the handsomest
mulatto in that section.
The master accidentally stained his
finest pair of trousers with some paint.
and calling Sam directed him to get
the pantaloons cleaned. Sam took
them first to his own sanctum, and
after admiring them from all sides
slipped them on. He hardly knew
himself as he stood maiestically in
front of his mirror. Those trousers
would clinch the argument with Indy.
He took them off and carefully laid
them away.
Sam approached his master with a
woe-begone look, announcing:
"Yuh CANT do nuthin with dem
pants, nohow."
Did you take them to the tailor,
SAM"
"Yas, sir, and he says you mought as
well frow em away"
Did you try soap and water?"
"Yas, sir; scrubbed 'em till ! was
brack in de face"
well, did you try benzine?'
"Shuah. But she wouldn't touch dat
spot"
"Um-m. Well, did you try ammonium
Sam grinned "Yas, sir, and dey fits
