Here is a somewhat new story of the Niágara Falls hackman: Two tourists, a lady and a gentleman, stopped off at the Falls between trains. A hackman engaged them for a brief tour of sight-seeing. The time actually consumed was fifty-five minutes. The hackman said he must havo $10. The gentleman remarked that it was an outrage. The driver explained that he had been of great assistance in pointing out the places of interest and stood flrm. The gentleman prepared to pay under protest. Uufortunately for himself, he handed the man a $20 bilí. "Do you pay for the lady also?" asked the hackman, promptly. "Do I pay for the lady?" repeated the fare, in astonishment. "Of course I do. What do you mean? "Then there will be no change," replied the hackman. "My charge of $10 3 for one person; $20 for two persons. The amount you have handed me is exactly correct. Thank you, sir."
