Is Yo’?

Uncle Zebedfeh had inherited a large crop of nephews, whom he had endeavored to bring up the wa!y they should go, often finding it very difficult to make ends meet, when, to his intense disgust he learned. that one of them had taken unto himself a wife without the knowledge or consent of the old man. “Mcse, I’se done been tol’ yo’s married,” he reproached his kinsman, meeting him on the street. “Is you’?” “I’se not say in’ I aint,” replied Moses evasively. “I didn’t ask yo* is yo’ ain’t, I asked yo’ ain’t yo’ is. Is yo’?”—Brooklyn Life.
