Audu Wueu ne ) SODer Will surely come
out when he's drunk" is another trite
If attention is paid to this fact it is
pretty sure to come out as stated above.
Ordinarily, drunken man is an OBJ
Ject of disgust, and loathing, some
times even among his own associates,
who have, i'll accordance with numerous
invitations, been ranging their StOm-
achs against the bar, but. on the other,
there is an appeal to the ludicrous side
of mans nature, caused by some of the
pranks of an inebriate.
Sign changing is one of the most pop
ular tricks with crowd of rOysterers
out on lark, the modus operandi be-
ing usually to move a wooden Indian
from in front of a cigar store, say a
block or two from its place in front of an
undertaking establishment. and bar
ber's pole is sour of unmitigated delight
to party of FOUNDERS out on a spree.
Recently group of well-known society
men conceived and carried into effect a
novel prank by way of diversion after
nights carOuSe. En- route to a pOpu-
lar resort in a carriage one of the most
watchful of the party espied an Indian
maiden holding temptingly i'll her hand
bundle of tobacco leaves. Lets give
the old girl a ride, he suggested" and
..
at the idea, could not wait for the car
riage to stop, but climbed out of the
windows in their eagerness to secure
the prize. In short time four
sTALwART YOUNG MEN
were embracing wooden image and
tugging at it to put it in such a position
that when the door should be opened in
answer to their ring the image would
fall inside and brighten the inmates.
Their plan succeeded to charm, and,
after vigorous ring at the door bell,
they ensconced themselves in their car
riage to await developments.
A stout negro answered the bell and
in the darkness he mistook the partly
nude figure for drunken man and
babe him be Off as his room was better
than his company. Discovering his
mistake he pulled the figure inside, to
the dismay of the occupants of the car
riage and the owner of the lost Indian
may for the first realize that he has been
the victim of quartette of tipsy prac-
teal jokers.
Coming over from Minneapolis the
other day on the train welI-dressed
but apparently tight individual was OBJ
served taking it pretty easy and pres
emily the conductor came along.
Tickets" was his call, but the young
man paid no attention to the demand
and only snored harder. Finally the
conductor shook him pretty vigorously
and was rewarded for his efforts with a
declaration that the passenger neither
had ticket nor would he pay his fare.
"Then you will have to get off at the
next station" was the answer of the
official.
''YOu had better put me off, then, for
l won't to get off of my own accord"
chirped the tipsy one. One word brought
on another between the pair, but the
conductor ended the collOquy by seiZ-
ing the passengers new Dunlap tile,
saying: Il guess this is good for the
fare"
The young man settled back in his
seat again and took matters easy until
st. Paul was reached. when he left the
train, and, accosting a friend, explained
his dilemma and sought relief. 1t after
wards TRANSFERRED that he had made
wager of a basket of wine that he would
ride from Minneapolis to st. Paul with
out paying fare, and after stimulating
himself sufficiently in the Flour City he
made the attempt and won his bet.
Sometimes, however, a drunken mans
freak has a serious tendency. as was
shown at a leading hotel a few nights
ago.
While making his rounds the. watch
man detected smell of something
burning, and was not long in locating
it in room which had been assigned to
a. connie of jOVial blades few hours
