Had Been There Before

A German brass band played for ten minutes In front of a store on Main Street, Orange, yesterday afternoon. 
"Let's heat a nickel and have some fun," said one of the clerks. The nickel was promptly beated and laid on the counter The clerks grinned and waited. Soon the big man, who fills the brass horn with wind. entered. "There's a nickel on the counter," said one of the clerks carelessly. The big man walked up to the counter, glanced curiously at the nickel, drew from his pocket a piece of leather and picked up the coin. Turning to the clerk he smiled expansively and said: "Danke you, clever young man." "He's been there before," said the first clerk, and then all hands went to work as if they had just returned from a funeral - Newark Journal.
