" - 1 HAT SKINNER BOY,' Music Dealer Trusts Innocent Youngster With a Banjo. AS TO DELIVER INSTRUMENT it It Fails to Reach Its Destination )wing to a Row In Street Car as to Vhether Banjo Was an Infernal Machine or Not. [Copyright, 1907, by E. C. Parcells.] lumpy Skinner was on his way me from school the other day, with : usual innocent look on his face, d he was passing a' music store ten the dealer came to the door and d: ;Sonny, you look to me like an innolt boy." Yes, sir, I am," wis the reply; I think you are a boy that can be isted." I know I am." Well, a man left a banjo here last ek to be repaired. It's all ready to home, but I have no one to send th it. If I should give it into your j ? J ELLlO, BUB! THAT'S A QUZEB XJND 07 HATBOX." ads and promise you a quarter for dug it to 232 Harrison street, I beve you would do the errand all :ht" 'I surely would, sir." 'Very well. You had better go up to nth street and take 'the crosstown p. Here is the banjo in its box, and len you return you shall have the arter." lumpy started off in the highest irits. He had gone only a block len he met that Thomas boy and is sainted with: "Hello, HumpL What you got there?" 'A banjo." V Q|? xi nam x yuurs r 'Nope. I'm taking it up on Harrison eet for a music man." 'And he trusted you pith a banjo, i he?" 'Yep. He said I looked innocent and nest" Going to the Top Fast. "Well, I never! Say, Hump, I don't mt to make you vain, but can you find ywhere in American history that sorge Washington was trusted with a njo belonging to some one else? No, ; you can't. You are going , right up , the top as fast as you can go, and I edict that they'll have your picture the papers in less 'n six months." the boy and the banjo had gone a >ck farther when they encountered a eet car conductor off duty and leanl up against a wall on the corner. i had had two or three drinks to keep e bears off and was feeling good. 'Hello, bub! That's a queer sort of tbox!" he said as he reached out r Humpy. 'It hain't no hatbox; it's a banjo in ire," was the reply. 'Is that so? Say, now, but I used to at the band playing on a banjo, tee when I played to a crowd over iundred strong men broke down and ipt. i li give you a tune. 'But you can't. The man told me t to open the case." 'Never mind what the man told you, any. I'm running this old car this p. I'll have you dancing before I ve played a dozen notes of 'Yankee >odle.'" lumpy protested ana hung on to the x/ but it would have been wrested >m him except that a policeman saw i squabble from afar and came hasting up the street. 'Oh, well, he can go on with his old njo," said the conductor as he reised his hold on the box. "All I inted was to play a few tunes and en up the old town a bit, but I'll inside and take two more drinks dead." Obeys Officer's Command. The officer told Humpy to hump nself along, and his command "was eyed. He reached Ninth street witht further adventure and boarded a r, but he was scarcely seated when a >wan beside him looked him over ry sharply and said: Bov, did the conductor take notice that box when you got on?' Yes'm. He asked me if I had a cat it, and I told- him 110." 'I hope you didn't lie to him. I was a street car once when a cat got t of a basket and clawed my face, d I have never got over the scare, you are carrying a cat"? 'It's a banjo, ma'am," explained linpy. 'I am glad to hear that, and I hope u haven't lied to me. The box may plode anyhow, and I wish you would farther up the car. I was on a car ce when a banjo or something else ( i, _ in a box exploded, and I had my eyeglasses blown off." Hftmpy moved to the front of the car and sat down beside q man who had been nodding with sleep. The banjo box happened to hit his knee, and he aroused and looked around and demanded to know who had kicked him. Then his eyes fell upon Humpy and the box, and he said: "Boy, I don't like it at all. I believe you are an anarchist and making ready to blow up this car." "Banjos don't explode, do they?" asked Humpy, with a smile. "A banjo, eh? And what are you doing with a banjo?" 'Taking it up to a man on Harrison street." May Have Been Infernal Machine. "Um! It may be a banjo^ and it may be an infernal machine. In these days we can't be too careful. A grocer asked me to open a can of chicken the T irnc tnrt clifirn fnr U liICi Uav> , UUL A. >?ao WW - W*. him. When another fellow tried it, it exploded and blew his arm off. We will look at that supposed banjo." "But I was told not tcJ open the box," protested Humpy. "Makes no difference, sonny. As ft freeborn American citizen I've got a right to know whether I'm riding with dynamite or musical instruments. Opea up!" "I shan't do it It's a banjo, and you can believe ijie or not." "The plot thickens," whispered the man as he assumed a knowing look. And of a sudden he grabbed the box and threjv up the cover. Then an oldish man who had been reading a paper laid it aside and said: *"I don't kiM>w why you couldn't have taken the. b$'s word." "I trust no one," replied the other. "Rockefeller, Rogers and the rest 'of us can't tell what minute we must confront danger. It seems to be a banjo, but is it one? Has it got dynamite concealed in its stomach? Are we about to be greeted with the strains of 'Old Dan Tucker,* or ai? we to be hurled into eternity without a moment's preparation?" > "You talk like a fool! Give the boy Kat. nn/1 etnn fArtlinO' " LUC UUA UUU O tVJ/ "Oh, I talk like a fool, do I? Say, now, you are an older man than I am, and you are baldheaded and bow legged, but you must apologize or there'll be a row here." ^ Men Began Scrapping. "You go to with your apologies!" Then the two men rose up and began scrapping. Humpy tried to get the .banjo box, but it went down on the floor between them and was stepped on. The conductor cape running, two of the men passengers mixed in, and five or six women set up a screaming. The row was over in five minutes, and when Humpy could make out the banjo he saw only a few strings and splinters of wood. / "W-what am I going to do?" he asked of the conductor, who had had his nose skinned in the fracas. "Was it your banjo?" "No. I was,taking it somewhere for a music dealer." "My son, you look innocent and lamblike." "And I am." "There is no%banjo; there Is no box. As there is no banjo and no box, there can be no delivery. It isn't your fault. It is what they call an act of providence, and no one Is responsible. Just drop off the car as easy as you can and t#ke that innocent and lamblike face of yours home.

"I have found out," said the grayheaded man, "why it takes a woman so long to do a little shopping. It is because she stops to count her money so often. I went shopping with a woman the other day. She pays cash for everything, consequently she took money along. She counted it just before she left home. She had $24.65. The first thing she bought was a piece of silk. As soon as she had paid for that she counted her money again, with a host of other shoppers and employes, of course, standing around watching the proceeding. After that she made severs 1 -other purchases, and upon settling fcr each one she counted her money. "I want to know all the time just how much I have left,' she said, 'so I'll be sure not to buy anything so expensive that I won't have money enough to pay for it. "But there is a simpler way than ? counting every time,' I suggested. 'Why don't you substract the price of 1 your last purchase from -your last | amount?' * I "Oh,7 said she, '1 neyer thought of | that, and anyhow I never- was very I good at subtraction."?New York Sun.
