Satirical Scorn.

He was a sad though confident specimen of juvenile life in an overcrowded metropolis. He was coming out of the tobacco shop with the proceeds of his negotiations for “a nick’s wort’ o’ cigarets,” when a philanthropic stranger accosted him. “My boy, i hope you don’t use tobacco?” “Me use tobacco!” was the rejoinder. “W’y de ”ery idee! I’m jes getin’ a handful of de horrid stuff to kill de bugs in me rose garden up near Yonkers.” —Washington Star.
