FLY" J. M. MCCALL’S MONGOLIAN. How He Got the Nickel He Claimed from the “L” Ticket Agent. A Mongolian, who had evidently not long been a sojourner among the western bar barians, got into an altercation with a ticket seller at ouo of the elevated railroad stations the other day He had purchased a ticket, but was under the impression that he had paid the agent a dime and that therefore five cents was still due him. The agent was firmly convinced that tho Chinaman had given him only five cents, and therefore had no right to demand any change. The Chinaman's knowledge of English was exceedingly limited, but he was en«low«xl with all the persistency that characterizes his race. He continually used the phrase “Cheese it.” evidently in tho faith that the words were l»ai luiric “cuss words” of marvelous potency “1 tell you, John.” said the agent, siK)th ingly. “vou gave me only a nickel, you've got your tiuk«*t ami it’s all right.” e me five cents.” yelled the IOMG wr U’iS TNf wsrwiMwiS in«» five «•••nts Summe ng t hat it Im.» 1l Inna ^OOtJ s An old man iown a dime nd a ta ke!
