"oh say exclaimed the Squire. perhaps
you have not heard the latest about Bill Her
bert" 1 said had not and he continued: ''You
know Billy is Grand Juryman now, and he has
suddenly become very proud. When he is not
engaged investigating crime he is busy putting
on clean collars, brushing his new clothes or
having his boots shined. Oh, Billy is a dude
now. Well, you see, the other day while Andy
Dingler, Martin Kelly, Martin Hogan, myself and
some other fellows were in Billy's cigar store
taking lessons on fashions from him while he
prepared to go to the Court House, some one
said, Phewl don't you smell somethingY We
all said we did, and Billy, who was putting on
his vest, phewed' harder than all of
us. What the deuce is itg' he
said. Open the door, said Dingler.
Say, Billy. don't come this way, it's on you
say it amt said the Grand Juryman, grow
ing angry, but what in thunder is ity' AS he
said this he put his fingers in his vest pocket, and
with an expression of the deepest disgust on his
face, drew from it some of the cheesiest linn
burger cheese that man ever had the misfortune
to SMELL To say Billy was mad is drawing it
mild. He washed and scrubbed, but It was no
use, and, finally, with many anti Bible express
sons, he cut out the lining of his new vest and
saturated the rest of it with cologne. Then he
went to court. When he had got square by in
dieting half dozen wife heaters he returned to
the shop. The smell was still there and careful
research revealed about two pounds of the same
sort of cheese carefully distributed where it
would do the most good. Heaven help the man
who played the joke If Billy finds him while he is
Grand Juryman.'
