Mr.. ssoaTuliIn's scheme.
Il lit ,tur Dis atch.l


A travel.stained rounder hoated into
the city on Saturday on the flag end of a
cattle train from the wilds of Chicago.
Like other western men he was drink
ing man. and the long, dusty ride and
occasional foot races with brakemen en-
route, rendered Giles McMullin very
thirsty when Pittsburg doomed on him
with all its dazzling brightness and beauty.
Giles walked into a liberty street barrel
house, and, pulling out a black glass
quart bottle. handed it to the dispenser of
alcohol, and loftily told him to fill it
with "Suthin real good and strong
All right sir, said the seller of ami
hilation with rather dubious smile. and.
turning on the spigot of one of the barrels.
filed the bottle to the neck.
Mr. Giles MfcMullin watched the CUR
Cling current of happiness with compla
cent countenance.
Fifty cents. please. said the LIQUOR
man. as he corked the bottle.
Say. boss. chirped Giles, I've only
got 10 cents
ooh, -, said the man of liquor, and
he wrathfully poured the nourishment
back into the barrel Here, take your
bottle and don't come monkeying around
here again, he added. as he tossed the
bottle TO Giles.
Then Mr.. McMullin carefully put the
bottle in his pocket Walking to a metal
yard he sat down, and drawing out the
bottle he pushed a stick down through
the neck. Then he took a real good
swallow and lay down to sleep on pile of
pig iron. There was sponge inside that
bottle
