the only one living on the block having
a son old enough and smart enough to
run errandS, so she has been courteous
enough TO lend him 10 her neigh

had been utilized frequently to go after
beer for several families and they got to
sending the boy so often for the beverage
that his mother got a little tired of it and
began to regard the matter 10 the light of
nuisance, but she tameIy submitted un-
I'll she heard one of the lady neighbOrS
say to the boy, Now, PreSsy. be sure TO
tell MIR. Lager to give big nickers
worth OF beer to your mamma. and be
sure and tell him IL is for yOur mamma"
When she heard this instruction to the
boy it was the camel that broke the
Straw'S back. and she said to the female
neighbor: You will have to get some
body else to get your beer for you here
after. don't want the credit of drinking

don't mind being accommodating to my
neighborS, but don't propose to have the
reputation of Swilling a barrel of beer a
day for nay reward"

take, and it is serious one. of thinking
that the Sunday law was passed by some
