alienist, said at recent dinner in
New York:
Then there Is the cunning lunatic.
Of whom there used to exist good
example at Bridgetown.
There was half-witted youth in
Bridgetown to whom the neighboring
farmers liked to offer a penny and a
nickel.
Gathered about him in circle on
market day the farmers, one after
another, would say:
Now, which'll yer have, Peter?
Here's a. cent--here's nickel-take
yer choice
And fool Peter would invariably
choose the cent rather than the
nickel, and the farmers before such
incredulous foolishness would roar
with laughter, double in two and slap
their legs noisily with their brown
hands.
'Peter?' said one day to the
lunatic, why is it that you always
take the cent instead Of the nickel?'
Peter grinned very cunning
grin.

he, would / ever get a chance to take
another one?' " Washington Post.
