ED1roR's TABLE. - Charley Tai
colt has just received fresh supply
Of confectionery, liberal portion of
which has found it's way to our table.
The" boys" say it is awful nice. "
Mr.. Stork has also remembered us
by presenting a can of Goldfish
balls" a novelty in the market.
They now can nearly everything and
hence we have canned portland beans,
canned corned beef, canned pigs
feet, and last but not least, canned
Goldfish balls. In fact it may be
said that what they can't can is not
worth canning. We have set the
"balls" aside until some one brings
on the crackers and cheese for o
square lunch.
