body out on the billiard table with candles
and bottles of whisky around il and pres
emily one of the fddlers (everybod IN the
Switch can hddle) began 10 saw out "Ilm
Finnegan's Wake" when, all of sudden,
the corpse sat upon the table, grabbed one
of the bottles of whisky, and before the
lookers-on had recovered from their astonsh-
ment had swallowed half the contents. 1t
took the boys some time to comprehend that
the corpse had thawed out, and when they
did comprehend the situation they were mad
in minute to think that their evenings
amusement had been SO unceremoniously
interrupted. However, they at once made
up their minds that the corpse should pay
for his indiscreetness in thawing out at such
an inopportune moment, and forthwith they
stripped him and tattooed him with ink, so
that in short time he could not be told
from the wild man OF Borneo. Then they
took him to the door and asked him how
fast he could run, and for 10 or IS minutes
they ran him up and down the street, peeled
TO the bark, and the thermometer 400 de-
grees below zero as the unfortunate and now
quite lively and pretty well sobered up
corpse declared. To see that he did not
receive any injury from his exposure, the
boys took Joe in, rubbed him down with
whisky and rolling him up in blankets
tucked him away behind the stove, and
alter booze all around those who did not
drop into the poker gone turned into their
hunks.
