"Say," he croaked hoarsely (no one ever croaks any way but hoarsely). "Say," he croaked, "have you got change for a potato?" I Sw CULL- GOT CHANfit TO? MS "I got only a dime and a nickel," says Sullivan. "Between the two of us, however, we scraped together a lot of money, gave it to the k. o. t. d. and received the potato in return. "Tell you what let's do," said Sulli van. "Let's take that spud and go see what we can buy with it. Mebbe we could get up a good piece for the paper that'd please the boss; and maybe he'd give me a raise for my pictures and you a couple'more theater tickets for writing the story. What d'ye say?" Well, that's what we did. . We went into a restaurant where there was a lunch counter and I said to the laige man back of tile counter. "Please gimme one potato's worth of something to eat." So lie goes back to the thing they holler down and he >;elled to the cook: "One order roast turkey and cran berry." "I was only fooling," I told him. "I just had my lunch. I wanted to see what we could buy for this." Then I showed him the potato. It was a beauty. "Gee," lie says. "What size is it?" "Six and a half carrots,' says I. "Good night," moans pettino. "I say he some potato." Well, from there we weitt down street. "Let's buy a suit of clothes," suggest ed Sullivan. So we went Into a store. Second and Market. "Want to buy a suit," said Sulli- van. "We don't have suits—except under wear," said the jumpmanly clerk. "What price, please?" "One potato," said Sullivan, exhibit ing it. "Ah," smiled the jumpmanly clerk, "silk, eh?" "Nope, pure potato," said Sullivan. "I mean the underwear," beamed the clerk. "Now this suit here, which is priced at $18 —" _ > "I'd look lykclle in a suit of $lB un derwear," said Sully. "Nobody'd see it," the clerli said. "Course they wouldn't," snld Sulli van. "That's why I don't want it. If I buy any $lB suits they'll be outside suits."

"The lids are granulated." "This ain't a sweet potato," says Sul livan. (KDITOR'S NOTE—Because this is a tight day about a yard of fool comedy Is omitted at this point.) So we entered the saloon. "AVhat'll you have?" asked the Jump manly bartender. "Two lemon seltzers," we told him. And then we drank the lemon seltzers. We laid down the potato, and asked for our change. The bartender rang up 10 cents and put a handful of money down on.the bar. Sullivan put the po tato in his pocket. "Say," he whispered, "didja see Tom O'Neill yet today?" "Don't know him," said the clerk. "Yes, you do," said Sullivan. "He's an old guy and lie walks like this." Then Sullivan hunched up a shoulder, limped to the door ar.d walked out.
