IPeckts Sun i

One of the SadieSt ahaiiS of the year occurred Ia Milwaukee last week A
 staid cid book-keeper for a wholesale
 house asked to be excused one afternoon,
 as he had friend visiting him from the east, and he wanted to show him around town little. The book-keeper was
 readily granted leave of absence. He
 had been in the employ of the firm for about quarter of century, was honest and true, prominent member of the church, and man respected by every
 body, going in the best society and hon. ored by all. About five o'clock in the afternoon he came into the office with his hat on the Q sck of his head, his neck tie united, his hair down over his fore head, and a general look of demoralza- tion. The proprietor looked as his old book-keeper and almost tainted. The book k-keepcr took of his hat and threw it on the floor, and let of yell, "ye-rp," that almost raj sed the roof, while his wis. jung friend leaned against the corner of the safe and laughed till he cried. The proprietor was amazed. He would no, have been more surprised to have seen
 the pastor of his church arrested tor dis. orderly conduct. He could not have been more astonished if the roof had fallen in. The book-kceper said he guessed he would go (hic) home" and he went out with his friend and took a street car: That was all that was said and done, but the proprietor of the store sat and thought moment, and 1t seemed as though something ought to be done to rescue the man from degradation so he went to the pastor of the church and told his story, and after the pastor had recov. cred from his paralysis at the news, he called upon twe deacons of the church, and they, with the proprietor, went to the book keepers house that evening to req son with him. They found him playing croquet in the backyard with the family, and no trace of his recent dissipation He received his friends cordially, invited them in, and the pastor told wh at he had heard, while the proprietor looked down trend he ever had The book-keeper listened to the recital in astonishment, stopped a moneat to think, and after the pastor had begged him to turn from his evil ways before it was everlastingly too late, the book-keeper said:
 Did actually como into the store and throw my hat down and ylp?"
 The proprietor said there was no doubt about it, and he sighed sadly.
 Well" said the book-keeper, "that beats all. knew felt queer, but had no idea yipped. You see, went around to show my visi;oT the town, and be said ne had always had a desire to go through one of the big breweries, and being sort of proud of ou great institutions, 1 took him to the brewery office and got a guide to show us through We went all through the malt houses, the stables, the vaults, and everywhere, and you have no idea what an immense thing it is. Every little while we would come to place where there was faucet and the guide, whe was a perfect gentleman, would draw us glass of beer, and l tas.ed it several times. O, 1t was the best beer you ever tasted, right from the mint. Seems to me never had anything taste so good as that beer did. away down beside the vaults, where it was co and fresh. It was none of this flat stuf, such as the pastor set out when we had the committee meeting up at his house, in bottles, but a regular nectar Well, remember when we came up out of the vault and struck the air, that felt as though l owned the brewery, and as we came down the sueet felt so liberal that 1 gave about seven dollars l had in my pocket to some poor people who were moving because they could not pay their rent, and can just recall to mind thA, l noticed that there were two Grand avenue bridges, but had no idea that went into the store and yipped. That was very wrong. and ask your pardon. don't think l drank qune as much beer as did at the pastors house that night, but guess 1t was better beer. Now come out and join us in a game of croquet,7 and the visitors went out, de- claring they were glad it was DO worse, and hoping that it would never occur again, anl they knocked balls around until dark and went home satisfied that the "yipping" was an accident that might occur to any gentleman.
