One : afternoon Joe went up to the : colored porter named Dee and ; asked if his curve ball had come ; in yet. “You all expecting it?” asked • Dee, in all seriousness. - • “Yes, it’s coming by express,” i replied Joe. He slipped Dee a : quarter. “Run down to the sta- : tion now and see if it’s In." : Dee hustled away. Within 20 minutes he was back. “It’s not come yet, sah,” he said, “but dey all expects It’ll bO iu in de morn in’.’’
