It is presumed that Christmas eggnog
is what interfered last week with the col

Well-meaning but unwise persons are
reported to have handed out glasses OF
the seductive beverage over the back
fences and from basement windows to the
hard-Worked drivers of the ash and sarb-
age carts. and the latter are said 10 have
imbibed OF the subtitle decoction until they
could not distinguish between a garbage
can and vinegar barrel.
AS a result of this indIscriminate treat
ing of the drivers on Christmas Day they
were incapacitated for work Some OF
the DRINKS started in the manner de-
scgfbed were the cause of very poor ser
vice for two OF three days afterward.
Drivers Became Exncting-
Some of the drivers put on lofty airs

the side others put a very severe inter-
probation upon the regulations and re-
