meal was a substantial one. and the Irish
Americans and ''doubtfuls," as the third

termed by the postmaster, were not
feazed in the least by the food, with the
single exception that the butter plates
held tempting looking squares of rather
strong butter. Investigation showed the
diners the BUTTER was limburger cheese,
and many a laugh was enjoyed by the
Germans at the expense of a few Irish
men who did not seem to relish the cheese.
