When we remember that half the inhabi-
tants of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, devote their
entire time and energies to the making of
beer, and the other half devote theirs to
the drinking of it after it is made, the point

Sentinel, will be seen at once: "Old Jones'

merits of certain number performed last

Our readers who are accustomed to tray

learning that reckless baggage smasher
on an eastern road, has met his Just doom.
The Buffalo Courier tells how il came
about:
To him there came shambling man, sad eyed
and meek and thin,
Bearing an humble carpet-bag with scanty stuff
therein,
And unto that fierce baggage man he spake with
quivering chin:
"Behold this scanty carpet-bag! 1 started
With dozen Saratoga trunks, hat box and
pOrtmsnteau,
But baggage men along the route have brought
me down thus low
"Be careful with this carpet-bag, kind sir" said
he to him.
The baggage man received it with a smile ex-
tremely grim,
And softly Mhfstled ''Mother may I go out to
swim?"
Then fiercely jumped upon that bag in wild,
sardonic spleen,
And into countless fragments flew-to his pro-
found chagrin-
For that lank bag contained pint of nitro-gly
cerine
The stranger heayed gentle sigh and stroked
his quivering chin,
And then he winked with one sad eye and said
with smile serene,
"The stuff to check baggage man is nitro-gly-
cerine!"
