GREEN BEER
BE yABBERS!

There is at least one bar in
town today that is reminding
the thirsty that it is the Siven-
teenth of March, God Rist His
Sowl.
This First avenue bar has
been dispensing green beer all
day and though several pa
triotic lrishmen have fingered
long at the tap to prevent any
A. p. A. visitors imbibing the
sacred fluid, the supply is still
holding out strong.
It is a regular beer, appar-
emily it has not been colored
locally, it tastes like beer and
looks like paint, or rather like
the deep green waves in mid
ocean with the sun striking
them through.
Nobody but the bartender
knows how it happened, and he
won't tell, but all day he has
been drawing from one of the
regular faucets green beer, and
nobody has seen him dump in
any arsenic, though he has had
to tap several Hiberian kegs
during the rush.

READY TO
QUIT JOB
LACK OF SUPPORT By MAYOR
GIVEN AS THE CAUSE.
FEARS BECOMING GOAT

Long John" Sullivan, chief of po-
lice, is said to be ready to quit. His
reason is given as lack of support
by the mayor. Sullivan has said, to
his intimate friends, that he made
scores of enemies since going into
office in order to aid the Pratt ad-
ministration in semblance Of car
rying out its pledges. Now, when
the chief and the police department
are under fire, it is said that he has
found himself but poorly backed up
by the chief executive.
1t would not surprise some of the
knowing ones around the city hall
to see Sullivan throw up the job in
disgust almost any day. This last
attack, since the :natr0n fight be-
gan. has worried Sullivan great
deal and his buoyant spirits of a
few weeks ago have faded away.
