GIVING HIM BEANS.

ABB ut year ago, troupe was started
from Boston, TO make short season throua h
the principal towns in the East. In The
company was the leader of the orchestra
Jake rannerbaum), gentleman # fine
musical abilities, of decidedly 4eutonic ex-
traction, who liked hrs beer and cheese, bul
had mortal horror of pork and beans.
Arsong the places they visited was The
famous =" brick and herring" town Of Taun-
toa, where the favorie dish is always to be
fouad on Suhday The boys of the troupe,
aware OF Jake's peculiar aversion, resolved
TO have little fun at his expense, and ac,
cordingly "put up a job " on him. The
landlord was let into the secret, the waiter
feed and the fun commenced at tile break
fast table, where he was politely asked by
the waiter: i sft.I4 b.f-n,.. r,.f.l "a
"Will you have few beans for break
fast?" ''' ''.
" No." was the emphatic reply; dond
want no beans t rDe rof .7a.i 9ra
"Oh, :" said the waiter, :" you must eat
beans; everybody cats beans on Sunday" "
With look of extreyne disgust, Jake re-
pli d: '''l tole you | won't eat peans; vat s
the madder, are you lazy? Gif me some
sdeak and frie ! perdaders.'' s.i .rgaE .-lr
'Very well, eaid the waiter; but you
will bave to wait till it is cooked; and wait
he did for about fifteen minutes, when, his
temper getting the best of him, e left the
table TO see the landlord, and state his
grievances. No sooner was lie out #, tn
dining room than the door was locked aha
Jake, not frrding the landlord, was com
PEELED to 60 without his breakfast. Re-
solved not 10 be cheated out of his meal,
he put on his hat, and went in search of
lager beer saloon, where he could get his
iavorite Bologna and beer; but alas for
poor Jake, the Sunday dw was in force,
and nothing was TO be had, so he had TO
wait till noon to satisfy lhs appetite, which
was never poor. Well, the dinner bell
sounded, and up went OUR hero, who, as
before, was met by our faithful waiter, who
again approached him, and smiingly said:
well, Mr.. T., will You have few
beans to commence wth?"
This was too much, and the answer, not
couched in the most amiable tone, came
forth: ,.,.,.t ...l
No, py' cheescs, ! tolc you dwo dimes
| Won't eat peans. niAa .'."n.
d" But you must have few beans, per-
sisted the waiter oi fi fra t.,.Tn0
Mine got in hinmei, who der--Il is
going to eat dis dinner, you or me; dat'r
vat I'm drying to find ond; dals der kind
of man ami! ,,.,.t..,t ....
~ 80, very well, " responded the waiter,
eff you can't speak civilly, sllall not wait
upon you.
Up jumped the ira.e Dulchman to again
find the landlord, which he did and related
his grievances, but was partially paci6ed on
being told that the waiter should be promptly
discharged, and told him to go up stairs and
get his dinner, while he, in the meantime,
was going to take short ride. Back went
Jake, on TO find that the boys had again
locked the door, and he was wild. Selling
his hat he again rushed out, TO make a more
thorough search for something TO eat, but
with no better result than before. Ashamed
to come back too soon, Jake waited until
near supper time, when he again returned
TO the hotel, and seating hmseIf'in corner
not civil word could anybody get oufof
him. Shortly, supper was announced. and
Jake was one Of the first at the table.
Prompt to his cue, the waiter again went
for him; but, before he could ask lin his
order. Jake broke OUT '''i 3 ."'' f+H
" Yaas, you may pring me some peans;
you vas, right dis morning ven you say ]
lnoost eat peans; you may pring me some
peans! and, for The first and probably the
last time in his life, Jake did eat beans; but
how the lager and Bologna did suffer when
the company struck tile next town 0'" .
