Up in Georgetown, there is an old
colored man who sells fishing worms
for a living They are nice worms,
large, slippery, and enticing to fish.
Lately, since the cold weather, his
business has been dull. Only a few
fanatics brave the elements to chop
holes in the Potomac ice, through
which to fish. Some OF these Wal
tonians use worms.
Perhaps it is harder to secure the
worm bait in the frozen weather and
for that reason, If no other, the price
charged by the old colored man could
have been advanced.
One of the regular customers order
ed his. usual supply OF bait yesterday.
The colored man brought a large
can of worms The fisherman reach
ed into his pocket and procured the
usual 10 cents.

worms is fifteen cents"
Fifteen centsr' exclaimed the fish
srman. why, uncle. they have never
been but ten cents"
"Yessar, yessar, that's right, but
owing to this war the price just went
up"
