License Won't Come Off:
He Takes Mirror and Al

Pedestrians between san Jacinto
street and the city hall and city hall
officials were amazed to see a negro
iaboring along carrying q large mir
Tor which had come apparently from
the top Of a bureau or dresser of
some kind.
When questioned. he showed the
license for his restaurant pasted
firmly on the glass and stated that
he was merely going over to the city
nail to have the license changed. as
ne was going to move his place of
business. The old license was neces-
sary in order to get a transfer and it
was so firmly pasted on the glass that
it was impossible to remove it.
The negro finally got the mirror
through all the doors of the city han
with great difficulty and into the
office Of Billy" McSain. tax collector.
where, needless to say, he got his
new license
