Seeing Some Fun.

One day as | stssd in the door Of
tke Post-ofice in a srAall town in
South Carolina, | saw a man enter
saloon opposite. In thirty seconds
he re-appsared having passed cut CT
the back dsor and turned a lumber
pile. He came straight across the
street, look Of fun on his face, and
as he took chair on the steps he

down went the "pizen" without a
gasp. Up went her hand to wipe
her mouth, and as sac turned to come
out she said:

old nan if he comes in!"

expected to hear an explanation from
my companion. lie should have

alligators,'
