back door in Gingerbread Row, and be-
hind the bar there was long range light
ming whisky. The stalwart citizen
crept in, got his drink and beat retreat.
Soon he was overwhelmed with burning
sensations in his stomach. Something
seemed to be blazing there, and he burst
into doctors office exclaiming: For
Heavens sake pump me out quick. I"
"What is wrong with you?' inquired
the doctor. "Get the pump ready while
I am telling you. I'm burning upinside.
Hurry. I took drink down On Ginger

denly interposed: "Why, I smell some
thing burning myself" and opening the
patients waistcoat found hole three
inches in diameter burned in the shirt
front. While the stalwart citizen was
taking his drink he had dropped cigar
stump between his waistcoat and shirt.
"Didn't you smell smoke" asked the
doctor. :" You're right I did; but l
thought it was coming out OF my mouth. "

ALI One to Him.

ASchleswig correspondent writes: A
little time back country woman was
buying various articles at shop here,
all of which seemed to indicate pro-
iected immigration to America. The
tradesman asked the woman if such was
the case, and received the following reply:
"You see have two daughters and one
of them was engaged to man who is
gone out to America, and who promised
that as soon as he made enough money
to support a wife, he would send out
money for the journey, and then they
should be married. But several years
had passed, and my daughter had found
another sweetheart, when one day a let
ter comes from America with money
enough to pay the passage. Well, now,
made up my mind to send my second
daughter instead of the elder, The two
lasses are as like as two blades OF graas,
and it will be all one to him which of
'em he gets for wife.
