A "HoT" COLD BANQUET.

One of the walters at popular local res

In the kitchen there was a riot all night
long. It was so small the walters couldn't
reach the dlshers-up and they got to scrap

was knocked stiff with a turkey, and when
they picked him up l thought he was dead.
L did, on the level. But il wasn't blood 1t
was only cranberry sauce. Another turnkey
fell into the salad and one of the cooks put
can OF Ice cream IN the oven, thinking it
was brown gravy for the beef. That's on
the square-Just as I'm tellin' YOU But the
worst OF all was when we came to the wine.
1t was 'AIerican champagne in half pints,

The sale of the Rusl1in cooperative

children and farmers from the sur

thirty houses thereon S12. f65. The land
originally cost SIG, 500, and the houses

Rich-Yet Starving.

Doctors frequently have very wealthy
patients who are starving to death. They
have money to buy food, but their stomach
has not the strength to digest it. 1t lies there
a heavy fermented mass, the sole cause of
