NOT A CANNlBAL.

A fat man walked into the restaur-
ant and after knocking down a few
hats while hanging up his own, sat as
much of himself down as the only
vacant seat of the room would hold.
He grabbed a piece of the bread that
had come with his right hand neigh
bor's order and began to MUNICH on it.
Then he looked for the bill of fare.
The ministerial looking man on his
left was reading it. The fat man
leaned over on him and began reading
it, too.
"How's them pork chops and apple
sauce?" he mumbled between mouth
fuls of bread.
The ministerial looking man said
nothing and edged his chair little
farther away.
Just then the waiter appeared with
a bowl of bean soup for a patron on
the other side of the table.
Hey, waiter" bawled the fat MAI,
''bring me one O them soups, ana
hurry up about it, will yer?'
The ministerial looking man heaved
a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, sir" he said
turning to the fat man. II was afraid
