BURNED A HOLE IN HIS sH1RTa


The following scene is taken from real
life, having occurred at North Cambridge
at the hotel occupied by old lack Porter:
Joe, the man of all work around the
hotel, was fond of good liquor, or indeed
liquor of any kind; and being generally
short of funds, was in the habit of Selling
on all remnants of liquor left by practition-
ers at the bar. Thus matters progressed
for some years, keeping Joe pretty well
soaked, when Porter, having occasion to
make some mixture for curing diseased
hoof, had need of some nitric acid or aqua
forts, that article being one of the ingre-
dents of the lotion. Taking a common
bar tumbler, and pouring a sufficient guam
tity of acid into it, he went out, leaving
the tumbler on the counter, and drover
the sole occupant of the room. He had
no sooner passed the door when in came
Joe, and seeing, as he thought, tumbler
as usual, with some liquor too good to be
wasted, Immediately looked through the
bottom, "as was the usual CUSTOM" and
quickly ttrea0 himself outside of said
liquor He then went to chopping wood,
smacking his lips at the usual strength Of
the spirit
Shortly after old lack coming in, pick
ed up the tumbler to go on with his medi-
cal preparation, but was very much sur
prised on finding it empty. Inquiring of
the traveller, he was informed that a short,
chunky man describing Joe) had drank it.
With an exclamation of surprise and con-
sternation depicted on his countenance, he
rushed out of the room in search of ice,
expecting to find his dead body not many
yards off
He passed around the house, and in the
back yard found Joe doing extra execution
on the logs, working as he generally did
After getting over his establishment, the
following conversation ensued:
old Z0ck-"Joe, did you drink that
stuff on the counter p
Joe-"Why, yaas. l thought that it
hadn't ought to be wasted you know. All
right I 'spose?"
Zack-"I don't know. How do you
like it 7 how do you feel after it 7"
Joe-"Feel2 feel first rate; lively as
cricket"
Zack-"Well, Joe, but haven't you no.
ticed anything out of the way nothing
wrong about your"
Joe" Anything wrOng2 Well, no;
not much; fust rate liquor, takes good hold
goes further than common. There is only
one thing queer about it which l can't get
