Mrs Pete Hare, an ebony hued

never mind changing the bill, I have
a nickel". The merchants thera
cpon hands back tbe bill which the
wonld be purchaser put a in his pock

cannot find tbe nickel, and reaching
down in bis pocket pretends to hand
out tha same $5 bill, but which ;a
really a $1 bill. The UDAiispcting
merchant bands out $4.1)5 change,'"'

ahead of the came.
