How Biddy Cooked the Watermelon
A gentleman in Louisville recent

A gentleman in Louisville recent
ly purchased an abundance and va
rlety OF the choicest marketing to
entertain guests, and intrusted the
cooking to Bridget who presided
over his kitchen, the lady of the
house busying herself with the con
dlments, table linen and china.
In due time the company had as
sembled i'll the parlor, and after be-
ing welcomed by host and hostess,
dinner was announced, and all were
politely ushered into the dining
room. The repast was a good one,
and everything went along well un,
til the last course in the bill of fare
was reached. Bridget was request
ed to bring in the watermelon,
whereupOn dozen or so OF small
dessert plates were brought in filed
with a mushy looking compound
that neither the palate or an eplcure
could analyze.
One was placed before each guest,
who, not suspecting anything, took
IA liberal mouthful each. AS soon
as they tast ID it there was DISPOSE
ton to diSg,rg rather than to swal-
low. Their eyes rolled, and there
was IA series of unavoidable contrac.
tons and dilations, indicating the
speedy cjectment of the mess from
their mouths. Their emotions did
not disturb the lady and gentleman,
but on the contrary, were interpret
ed to be symptoms of eCstacy. This
ludlcrous suspense and pantomine
was continued for minute or more,
when the impatient host again called
Tor the watermelon, and Bridget
promptly placed before him one of
the small dishes, the contents of
which, instead of deyouring, he be-
gan to inspect with great deal of
excited curiosity. He first looked
at his wife, then at Bridget, but had
not the courage to meet the eyes of
his friends. After brilliant flash
OF silence, he exclaimed to the wife
of his bosom: Fanny! what, in
the name that's mysterious, do you
call this 2 For an answer to this
question he was lovingly referred to
Bridget, who, upon being called up
on to explain, said: Sure, sir, an
that's the watermelon | billed it
and seasoned it wild pepper and salt,
and favored it wild mustard, but the
sades didn't cook well.' At this as
founding revelation, the gentleman
threw himself back in his chair in a
fit OF uncomfortable laughter, and all
hands except the cook, who appear
ed to be rather melon-choly, joined
him heartily in it.
