A New York man tells of his expert

"At supper" says he, "the darky
waiter brought me a plate of some
kind of meat. Visual examination did
not enlighten me as to what sort of
meat it was; tasting it left me still in
the dark. Accordingly l asked my
servitor:
"'What kind of meat is this you
have brought me?'

made response:

conceal his contempt.
"Irl give him some pointers; 1t will

that the coach finally gave it up as a
bad job, saying:
