He Got His Change.

One of those chronic dead-beats who habitually infest society, railway and street-cars, boarded an Austin car, and proceeded to develop his little game. It was by no means a new one, and the driver immediately seized upon it, quietly collected his fare in the shape of a nickle, and for several blocks nothing was saicL Then the fraud shiyered the silence with: I “Am I going to have any change for that dollar I gave you.” “You ditffi’t give me no dollar,” replied the driver, scowling darkly. “Yes, but I did, though, and if you don’t pass me over the 95 cents, I’ll report you. ” • “But you only gave me a nickle.” “I say I gave you a dollar, and I wank some change,” and the man stood upon the platform glaring defiantly. The passengers became interested, and the driver shifted his postition. “You are riding alcng all right enough now, ain’t you?” inquired the railway Jehu. “Yes, I s’pose I am.” * “Well,” said the driver, suddenly removing his fist from the vicinity of the beat’s nose, and shooting him off the car, “now you ain’t you see. Ain’t that change enough for you?”— Texas Siftings.
