More Froth Than Beer.

When the thirsty man put the stone
mug of foaming beer to his lips his
look of nearly fulfilled anticipation
changed to surprise. and one eye dwelt
reprouchfully upon the bartender. It
was not until he had tilted the mug
far out Of the perpendicular that his
face resumed it's normal expression.
He set the mug on the bar with the
brief comment:
"A short drink"
That's the worst of these stems. q"
said his companion. you can never
tell how much is beer and how much is
froth. That's why 1 always take a
glass instead. 1t serves to keep the
barkeeper IN check. In Germany, you
know. they have q law limiting the
amount Of froth to be sold at each
drink"
Yes said the bartender. "the beer
must come upto within an inch of the
top and the froth occupies the rest.
The cost for n litre of beer is 10 pfen-
nigs, which is almost cents of our
money. If we had such law here a
mans job would not so often depend
] on the number OF glasses he is able to
get out of one key"
