A Jolly Band OF ropers.

A man living up in Willow Greek
Canon was in town last Thursday fer
grub and told the reporter queer
yarn He prefaced his story by saying
that he always keeps a supply of
whisky on hand as a remedy in case
OF rattlesnske, scorpion, centipede or
taraniula bites. He has several times
of late been annoyed by coming home
from his work at night and finding the
demijohn lying broken on the floor
and the whi >ky wasted. Thinking it
the result of accident, he kept sending
to town for new demijohns so often
that his merchant began to suspect
him of having taken TO larG drinking,
and this was particularly regretted
frem the fact that he has always been
known as n very steady, temperate,
hard working man. Last Wednesday.
not feeling very well, he took n lay.off
and was lying in bed reading the
BULLETIN, when, hearing IA noise, he
looked around aud WAS aston>hc TO
see regular army of horned toads, of
all ages and sizes, coming through II
crack under the door Having IL curl
osily 10 see what They were after, he
! did not disturb them, out waited fer
developments. The one appearing to
have command of the foraging party
| went straight 10 convenient chair
from whic:, Ire climbed up he window
casing, and thence 10 the shelf where
the whisky was kept. Finding new
demijohn, he signaled To his com pan
| ions, and about / dozen of the lxrgcst
went to his assistance. Gradually
crowding ihemse yes between the top
of the demiiohn and the wall, they
managed to tip it from its bottom,
when it was but an easy matter To send
it crashing TO the floor. Tnen cnsucd
Il scene indescribahle. Tire whol.
mob came tumbing over one another
To The spilled witiskY,and eagerly drank
what did not run away through the
cracks in The floor. In about ten
minutes there were in the neishbor
hood of 100 horned toads as drunk as
drunk could be and having more fun
than circus. After laughing himself
well, he arose to drive the topers out,
and, looking through the cracks in The
floor, saw another army under the
house AZ drunk from The leakage as
these in the house He says that,
while he had whole lot of amuse.
ment, it was at the expense of both his
pocket and reputation, and he has put
IL lashing around the demijohn and
stopped up the cracks in the cabin.
