when mixed in that heterogeneous compound
called egg-nogg, and ut one fell swoop he had
come down uron the cgg-basket, carried the
contents off to saloon and converted them
into his faTorite beverage, full of which he
came home and abused Mrs. Wood. Her Wis

into thin fumes Of bad whisky, and the CON.
p1ainant wanted and obtained a warrant for
the man who stole her newlaid eggs. Benjamin
Wood egg-nogged, and Benjamin would hayeto
pay the fiddler as well as dance.
