A Tippler's Stratagem.

Sanerant relates the following
anecdote of Schwartz famous
German painter Having been en-
gagged to paint the ceiling of the town
ball at Munich, by the day, his love
of dissipation induced him to neglect
his work, and the magistrates and
overseers of the work were frequently
obliged TO hunt him out at the tavern.
AS he could no longer drink in quiet.
he stuffed an image OF himself, left
the legs hanging down between the
staging where he was accustomed TO
work, and sent one OF his boon com
panlons to move the image a little
two or three times day. and to take
il away at noon and night. BY means
of this deception, he drank, without
the least disturbance, whole fort
night together, the inkeeper being
aware OF the plot. The officers came
round twice a day TO look after him,
and seeing the well-known stockings
which he was accustomed to wear
suspected nothing wrong, and went
their way, greatly ext0lllng their new
convert as the most industrious and
conscientious painter In the world
