Knew What Ailed Him

er. He snored gently, with his mouth
a.jar and his long, moist tongue resting
on liis chest like a pink plush necktie.
A Northerner climbed off a train to
strttch his legs, unscrewed the top o| a
capsule and, ad,vancsing on tiptoe, dusted
ten grains, of quinine on the surface of
the darkey’ tjngue. Presently the ne
gro sucked his tongue baok inside his
mouth and instantly be arose with a
start and looked about him wildly.
“Mistah!” he said to the joker, “is
you a doctah ? ’ ’
Nope. ’
“Well then, kin yo tell me whar I kin
tin’ lire a doctah right away?”
“What do you want with a doctor?”
1 'm sick.’
“How sick?” i
“Powerful sick.”
“Do you know what’s the matter with
you?”
“Suttinly I knows what de matteli
with me—mah gall’s busted!”—Every
body ’s.
“Is your coffee the kind mother used
to make?”
“Certainly.”
“Then, ])lease, let me have tea.”
