As Burton, the comedian, was traveling ou a steamboat down the Hudson, he seated himself at the table and called for some beefsteak. The waiter furnished him with a small strip of the article, such as travelers are usually put oft with. Taking it upon his fork and turning It over and examining It with one of his peculiar, serious looks, the comedian coolly remarked: “Yes, that’s it; bring me some.”
