A Barrel Trick.

One Sunday morning, when every
body had gone to church, traveller
undertook to show the landlord how
to draw three different sorts of wine
from the same cask. The two went
down into the cellar and the stranger
bored hole in the barrel, on which
lie asked the landlord to place his
thumb. He then bored a second hole,
which mine host had to stop with his
other thumb. He had set to work on
the third, when it apparently struck
him that the landlord would not be
equal to the task of stopping that also,
and he ran out of the cellar ito fetch
a tap" He never returned, and the
innkeeper had to wait by the side of
his cask until the folks had come out
Of church: The rogue had by that
time decamped without paying his bill.
