At the hotel at| Beaumont his par- ticular waiter was one George, a sable-skinned gentleman of numer- ous accomplishments, George is a model waiter. The governor valued him highly, Each day at dinner George received from the governor his tip, $1. George reveled in wealth, He was the envied of all the other waiters. He was the happy possessor of a ‘good thing’ The other day when the governor entered the dining room a strange darkey stood behind his chair. “Where's George?” asked the gov- ernor, brusquely. Tne new waiter bowed low. “Ise youh waitah now, sah.” he said soft- ly. “But where’s George” again ask- ed the governor. Again the new retainer him: ‘‘Ise youh waitah now.” The governor looked up from his paper sharply. He was somewhat mystified, and with increasing em- phasis he demanded to know where George was, anyhow. “Well, you see. sah,’ began the new-comer with some hesitation; “Gawge and I was out las’ night playing craps.
