GNOSA1
Snyder kept a beer saloon some years
ago lover the Rhine" Snyder WAS a
Ponderous Teuton of veryiirascible tenn
par-.'sudden and quickin quRrrel's-
get mad in minute.-Nevertheles his
saloon was a great resort for boys
partly because the excellence ofhis beer,
and partly because they liked to chafe
"old Snyder" as they called him; Tor
although his bark was terrible, expe-
rience had taught them that he
wouldn't bite.
One day Snyder was missing and 1t
was explained by his frau" who jerk
ed the beer that day, that he had ''gons
out fishing init ter poys." The next day
one of the boys who was particularly
fond OF ''rossting'' Snyder, dropped In
to get glass of beer, and discovered
Syder's nose, which was big one at
any time. swollen and bllstered by the
sun, until it looked like a dead ripe to-
mato.
"Why,. Snyder, what's the matter
with your nose 2" said the caller.
~ peen out fishing init der poys," re-
piled Snyder laying his finger ten
derby against his proboscis, "the sun 1t
bese hot like as der diEel, unit burns
my nose. Nice nose, dOn't n2', And
Snyder Viewed It with look of comi-
cal sadness, in the little mirror back of
his bar. IL entered at once into the
head of the mischeYious fellow in front
of the bar to play joke upon Snyder,
SO he went out and collected some half
a dozen of his comrades, with whom he
arranged that they should drop in at
the saloon one after another and ask
Snyder whats the matter with that
nose2" to see how long he would stand
1t. The man who put up the job went
in first with a companion, and setting
themselves at a table called for beer.
Snyder brought 1t to them, and the
new conner exclaimed, as he saw him.
"Snyder, what's the matter with your
nose2"
"I yust dell your frient here been

Snyder's brow darkens with wrath by
this time, and his voice grows deeper

1t was evident that Snyder wouldn't
stand more than one more tweak at the
nose, for he was tramping about behind
his bar and growing like an exasper-
ated old bear in his cage.
