had mis- supper before the other and

other and the head waiter looked at
him very mysterlously and seated him
at table remarking ne never before
seen man who could eat two sup

at the table who when they heard the
joke howled with delight thinking the
Joke was on the waiter. But next
morning on leaving the landlord had
H, c. Lyman charged with two sup

money.
The drummers all had another laugh
