Then, at the conclusion, the bald-headed idiot gets up again, cracks a couple of even feebler jokes, thanks the performers for their kindness in appearing at the concert, asks a good-night round of applause all around, and the big event is over. The big event is over, for the Nick. No sooner has the hald-head subsided than a herd of little female pests, offspring of the Cook's tourists on the passenger list, spring up in all directions holding stnall baskets in the audi and requesting in piping voices that lucre be forthcoming. If one vouc safes a mere dollar bill for the great treat, a supercilious look crosses the brats’ features and they turn on their heels with a contemptuous their little rears.
