Mr. Smith of Newport?
Published Jan 01, 1900
A meek little fellow in a restaurant timidly touched the arm of a man putting on an overcoat. "Excuse me," he said, "but do you happen to be Mr. Smith of Newport?" "No, I'm not," answered the man impatiently. "Oh, well you see," continued the first man, "I am, and that's his overcoat you're putting on."
