Asleep at the Switch.

Almost daily when going out at
noon for lunch I meet very tat'
kind-faced old colored man driving
a bonev old nag hitched to a creak-
ing, ancient wagon. the four wheels
of which seem to ramble all over
the street.
His speciality is Usually fresh

This noon 1 saw Uncle Tom, as
have named him to myself. coming
slowly down Twenty-third street
northwest at a very slow pace. his
wagon creaking loudly from the
load of melons. He was sound
asleep, his round head rolling from
side to side. The old horse was
barely moving and l looked for HIM
to fall asleep in his tracks any min
ute. The heat and drowsy noontime
sun was too much for both man and
beast. AS / came abreast OF them
a wobbly front wheel struck large
stone in the road. nearly unseating
the old darkey. He slowly opened
his drowsy eyes and barely looking
up. l heard him say in a very weak
voice. Fresh fish," and Immediately

A Joke on the Waiter.

Last night in a restaurant / saw
two young buckos, former service
men, pull off stunt" which af-
forded them unbounded JOY and
much glee, as they were hilariously
happy to start with.
They took seats at table by a
window which opened on an alley.
A young Italian waiter served each
with a glass of ice water. which
they drank thirstily and gave their
order.
"Gosh!'' said one. that's the best
water l ever drank. Hey, waiter,
bring more water in larger glasses"
The waiter brought tall. thin tum-
blers, the ioed-tea kind. They be-
gan to drink and ordered him to
"set 'em up again. As the waiter
disappeared they dumped the water
out the window. but the returning
waiter found them apparently
draining their glasses. This trick
was repeated a number of times.
Finally the amazed waiter said:
We'll. If you wanta keel your
selves, / sure will bringa da water
