when friend called upon him, and
they discussed several topics together,
among them the question .as to what
extent lager beer was an intoxieanti !
The stone-cutter maintained that beer

(three gallons) of beer at one sitting
and feel none the worse for it. The
friend doubted, and a wager was made
and the workman called, who when
asked if he could drink that bucket
(pointing to large water bucket)
full of beer at one sitting, replied.
'Veu, Il dOn'd Know, lots you
know after vile." Tho German
went away, and after remaining about
fifteen minutes. returned. and said,
Eyes, l can trink dot peer" The
bucket of beer was procured and placed
before the German, who very soon abb
sorbed the last drop, and arose from
bis seat wiping his mouth with his
sleeve, and was walking away with ~
firm step. When his employer recall
ed him and said to him, ''Sec here my
friend and l have some curiosity TO
know why you did not drink the beer
when you were first asked.' The Ger
man replied, "Vcll, don'd know dot

. One stormy night, when the roads
were well-nigh impossible, a son of
Erin came into a doctors office and
desired the dispenser Of physic to 60 to
see a friend who was '-.jists ardyin'." ;"
He would not take. no for an answer;
SO, putting the saddle bags upon his
horse, the physician st4rted out upon
his journey. As soon as he saw the
sick man he knew it was nearly over
with him, and remarked to the courier:
''Peter, you told the truth your
friend is just at the point of death"
'z Cant ye do anything for heems"
replied Peter. Il + j
"Nol; it is too late. s. . + .
!. "But, docthor, Amt 70 9oin' TO give
heem anything at all at all p
1T will do no good" @. RI ~
"But, docthor, ye have come so far,
It would be too bad to 60 back without
doin' ainything."
For the peace of Peters mind, the
doctor now took a small quantity Of
sugar from . phisl, and placed it upon
the dying mans tongue just as he was
drawing his last breath.
Peter, seeing his friends head drop
back, looked up to the doctor with big
eyes, and said, half in whisper, "Oh,
doctbor, an didn't ye do it quick !"
