MISTAKEN IDENTITY. 
Irvin Cobb tells a story of a little, weary negro who went into a 
resort in Natchez, displayed a large roll of bills and bought a drink. 
As he was paying for it another negro came in, very large and very 
black. He looked at the little man and said: “Niggah, whar you 
git all dat money?” 
“Bah-tendah,” said the little negro, by way of a reply, ‘‘Ah think 
Ah shall tek a bottle of dat-ah stuff. ’Pears quite satisfyin’ tuh 
me.” 
‘‘Niggah,” roared the big one, ‘‘whar you git dat money? I ast 
you. I’s the town bully, I is. I follow bullyin’ foh a trade. Whar 
you git it ?.” 
The little negro began stuffing the money back into his pockets. 
‘‘Seems to me,” he mused, ‘‘I ain’t got 'nuff pockets to hold all mah 
wealth.” 
The big negro j umped at the little one. “ You hear what I said ? ” 
he demanded. ‘T’s the town bully an’ I wanter know whar you git 
all dat money?” 
Quick as a flash the little negro uppercut the big one, catching 
him on the point of the jaw and knocking him down. In a moment 
the big negro revived enough to look up from the floor and ask 
humbly: “Niggah, who is you, anyhow?” 
“Why,” replied the little one, blowing his knuckles, “I’s th’ 
pusson you thought you wuz when you come in .”—Saturday Even¬
