Naturally the populace cheers wildly when it pulls in. Nervy Ned and his valet, riding in the same car, think that they are being received by the town and make a couple of pretty bows. This is all they do, however, because the people immediately start throwing, among other things, pieces of coal. Ned collects a scuttle full of the coal and sells it to a nearby baker for five dollars. He soon looses this on a bet that his valet can eat one hundred pan cakes. In an attempt to cover his losses, he arranges a scale behind a fence with the platform on the other side. After fooling many persons, by making them believe he could guess their weight, he is finally discovered and beats it. With his valet he hops on the back of a coal wagon and when it is delivered, they are dumped into the cellar. The owner of the house finds them there and thinking that they are a couple of coal bootleggers, invites them to dinner. At dinner, one of the guests offers Ned two thousand dollars if he will dig him up a ton of coal. With his valet he goes out to dig the coal and after digging for some time they come up in Turkey. Not receiving a very cordial welcome they turn around and jump back again. Written by Copyright Description from Library of Congress See less
