ago lover the Rhine. Snyder was a
ponderous Teuton of very iraseible temper

mad in a minute. Neveri heless his saloon
was great resort for the boys-partly be-
cause they liked TO chafe old Snyder, as
they called him. for although his bark was
terrible, experience had taught them that
he would not bite.
One day Snyder was missing, and it
was explained by his frau, who jerked the
beer that day, that he had gone out fish
ing nit der poys." The next day one of
the boys who was particularly fond of
roasting Snyder, dropped in to get a
glass Of beer, aud discovered Snyder's nose
which was big one at sny time, swollen
and blistered by the sun, until it looked
like dead ripe tomato.

The man who put up the job went in first

at table called for beer. Snyder brought
it to them, and the new conner exclaimed
as he saw him.

nose ?"
