last few years heroically has devoted his
young manhood 10 yanking the XII INKS

parties down at Keg Hollow, near the
canal.
When the news flashed around abe world
yesterday that Tipley Toplsy had bought

a few months previous to the st. Louis
cyclone. Because Of the quiescent nature
OF Princeton the only incident that the town
had to date things from for some wears was
the Battle Of Princeton.
About q dozen years ago or 30, however,
excitement began to brush up md down
there. After the fall OF 1894 the towns

thing else. The lake presentation by Mr.,
Carnegie was going some. but after all
that was a natural phenomenon.
AOnly Dean Harry Fine can thorough ly
appreciate the magnificent labor lone by
Tipley Topley in the past to throttle the
Demon Rum. In fact the last big keg
party killing made in Keg Hollow was
largely brought about by Princeton's
newest saloon keeper. The killing took
place last fall when the glad news Of the
very finest keg party ever held in Keg
Hollow spread all over the works. The
news dew so far. as a matter of fact. that
Dean Fine heard 1t and warned his little
charges to beeeeee careful.
But / and we'll meant words from older
and wiser heads soon, alas! are forgotten.
Boys will be boys. A key in the bush is

IN the afterglow then they stole down
through the witchery OF the early night to
get soused.
