p COOP JOKE ON HM-Butchers are pro-
verbally jolly fellows. They like fun
Whenever they have blowout, they le'
go all holds and dip into the enjoyment al
over. Our butchers had a spree Monday
night at Schreiner's Hall. 1t was fine
affair. There were plenty of handsome
women, plenty of waltzing and plenty OF
lager beer. Now, lager is splendid bev-
erage. AS it foams up in the glass, the
thousand bubbles on the surface glistening
like SO many diamonds, and, like pretty
woman's mouth, seeming to dare you to
kiss it, lager is divine. But it is apt to
make a fellow forgettul, especially if a fell
low be a butcher. At least it operated OIL
one this way. He got his meat in the mar
ket all in good time. on Monday night
and male everything ready for carrying on
business all right and regular yesterday
morning. Then he went to the ball. He
danced and lagered, and lagered and
danced, and went home with the gals in
the morning. But he forgot to get back.
When the market closed yesterday, thtr :
were his meats hanging upon their accus-
toned hooks and nary butcher to sell them
Lager had made him forgetful. Viue Ia
