Scotch Wit.

A drunken Irishman was once
lodged in the cell of Scotch countr,
police station, says Spare Moments
when he made tremendous noise
by kicking the cell door with his
heavy hob-nailcd boots.
The constable, who had charge o
the police station, going to the Gel
door, opened it little and said
"Man, ye MIGHT pit off yer butts
an I'll gle them bit Of rub, so tha,
yell be respectablc-like when "
come up aforc the bailic the morn
The prisoner fiattered at the
request, at once complied, and saw
his mistake only when the constable
shut the door upon him, saying
coolly:
"Ye can kick AVA moo, my man
as lang as ye like"

they must ascend the long stairs,
taking with them some chalk with
which to mark each step, and when
they had climbed as many steps as
they had committed sins they might
enter. SO the two began. After
the lawyer had chalkcd 10000 steps
he sat down TO rest, but looking up
he saw the insurance agent coming
down the steps. "Why," said the
lawyer, "whcrc arc you going P"
"Going down for more chalk"

BEER war ON EAST.
SIDE THREATENED.
Saloonmen Want Reduction in
Price Equivalent to Reduction
of the War Stamp Tax. -.

"Unless tho local breweries reduce tho
price of beer equivalent to the 80 cents re-
duction on war tax on each barrel. which
will go into effect at IL o'clock tonight. We
will have a beer war In East st. Louis ana
Chicago and Milwaukee breweries will sup
ply the beer for East st. Louisans instead
Of the st. Louis and other local breweries'
said Thomas ]. Caravan. president Of the
Knights Of the Royal Arch. an organization
embracing the saloonmen OF East st. Louis.
Several weeks ago when 1t was announced
that the war tax would be reduced 80 cents
on each barrel Of beer, the knights Of the
Royal Arch Of East st. Louis instructed
President Canavan to write or confer with
agents of the breweries asking whether
like reduction would be made in tho price
OF beer W the barrel. He was informed by
the breweries that. in view Of the Increased
wages and also the increase in the price OF
materials out Of which the beer Is brewed,
the price per barrel. would remain the same.
The result of Mr.: Caravans inquiry was
gotiations were at once entered into with
Chicago and Milwaukee brewers.
President Caravan stated last evening
that the 165 saloonkeepers of East st. Louis
are now paying s. a barrel for beer from
local breweries. In few instances the
breweries. but the majority Of the saloon
men own their own fixtures. He says that
the Milwaukee brewers are making ar
rangements to procure contracts with TWEEN
ty-fiye or more of the saloonmen Of the
city which. as soon as secured. will induce
and will sell their beer for S barrel to
the East St Louis saloonmen.
