cause they like 10 chais cold Snyder" -
they called him ;for, although bis bark vs.
terrific, experience bad .sausht them that
be wouldn't bite.
One day Snyder was missing, and Il wss
explained BY his "frsu," who 'jerked" The
beer that day, that he had .sone out 6sh.
Ing NIT der poys." The next day. one Of
tho boys who was particularly food Of
''ross,ing" old Snyder; dropped in 70 gss .
glass o( hser, and discovered Snyosss
noss, which was big ono ct any time,
swollen and blistered BY tho sun until Y
looked like dead ripe tomato.
"Why, Snyder, what's the matter win
your nose Z" said the caller.
Il been out fishing init tor poys," re-
piled Snyder, laying his finger tenderiy
sgainst his proboscis. "The sun Il peso
hot like der tifel, unit pums my nose.
Nice nose don't Il :" And Snyder viewed
II with look or comicsl sadness In tho
little mirror back Of his bar. Il entered 1t
once into the head OF The mischievous fsl.
low In front Of the bar to play jote upon
Snyder. % he went out and collected bali.
a-dozen ofhis comndcs, with whom he ar.
ranged that they should drop 10 the saloon
one aiter another, and ask Snyder "Whst's
the matter of that nose 2" TO eco how loug
he would stand Il. The man who put up
the job went In first with companion, and
seating themselves at table called for bees.
Snyder brought Il to them, and the new
conner exclaimed N ho saw him

Another boy rishcs In. sHalloo, boys

Snyder, OF course, cant SEQ any fun In
having burnt nose, or having it laughed
at, and he says In . tone sternly emPhst'
&c
"I've poem out fishing mi. der boys, unit

Another torineptor comes In, and insists
ON Gsctting 'cm up" for the whole house.
..Snyder," says lie, "fill tho boys glssses
and take drink yourse-ho no! no
ha ha ha Snyder, wha-ha ! hs ha!
ATS the matter with that nose !"
Snyder's brow darkcns with wrath by
this time. and his voice grows deeper and
sterner-
~ I,een out fshin' NIT der poys on der
Little Miami Tho sun pese hot like -

.slIum your noso-burn all tho hair Oh
your head, for what I care; you needn't
get mad about IT,"
Il was evident that Snyder wouldn't stand
moro than one moro twcak at that nose, for
he was tramping about behind his bar and
growing like an exaspsmted old bear In
his osge. Another Of his tormcntors walks
In. Some one sings out to him, "lisve q
glass OF beer, Billy2"
"Don't caro- about any beer" says Billy,
"but, Snyder, you may give mo ono Of your
best ciga-tia.a.a! ha! ha ! no no ! ha !
he ho ah.h.h.ha f! hs! ha ! Why-why
-Snyder-who wha-ha.a! hal hal

Snyder was absolutely fearful to behold
by this time. His face was purple with
rage, all except his nose, which glowsd like
q ball Of fire. Leaning his ponderous fig.
urc far over tho bar, and raising HE arms
aloft to emphasize his words with H. he
fairly roared--
I've pecn out fishing nit der poys. Tho

And Snyder was right.
