Thus the happy hours ceased. Gimlet
got on a furious spree and returned
on Sound steamboat to New Haven.
O'Feeler went crazy, and cultivated
vegetable garden in her hair, which
she beautifully ornamented with Irish
potatoes, beets, cabbage leaves and gourd
vines. Soon afterward her brother, La

Laertes was also moved by the sound of

and it was determined to wind up the
festivities of the day with theatrical
performance. Young Gimlet always
suspected the murder of his father. In
fact, the ghost of the old gentleman,
whose conscience smote him for swind-
ling a newspaper out of a small bill for
advertising his calico factory, frequently
met the Prints in his walks, and they
discussed the matter over bottle of

The actors adjourned to neighboring

now determined to convert young Prints
into a frigid corpus. He appointed a
banquet, and annsunced great fencing

intended to dip Laertss' sword into cold
pizen, and have it run through Gimlet's
body. The show opened Gimlet
knocked the blue blazes out of Laertes,

that he too must die, as he has pinked

rushes for the King, who makes tracks
for the cellar. Gimlet reduces him to
