As they staggered along, the following con-
versation arose:
Incbriate No. 1-"How bright (hicl the
moon shinesw
No. 2-"You don't call that the thicl moon
do We That's the SUM-"
No. 1-"Taint-its thic) moon.
No. 2-"I tell We its sunw
No. 1-"Well let's leave lhiej matters to
the next man we meet"
No. 2-"Agreed."
The two toddled along for a short distance
when they CHANGED to meet a man IN exactly
the same condition with themselves. Inc
individual was treated TO the following inte-
rogation:
No. Isl shay (hicl old fellow! we've Cos

Now we're going TO leave the matterto you.

The person addressed oraceu ninhsels aiief
considerable difficulty, against lamp post,
and then commenced to scrutinize. as well as
he could the burning orb overhead--rcpeating
in medatative tone of oce-"sun-moon-
sun-(bicl-moonn After short observation
he exclaimed, "fact is, gentmen TN stran-
ger in this part thel of the country, and
can't tell whether it's the sun or thic1 moon"
Thus matters were decided, and the inebri.
