bur the Scot bought wine. When It
came his turn TO buy he sighed.

to treat. Come along with me. I've
got fine bottle Of old Scotch up In my
room. brought it over with me.
On another occasion he was with Il
drinking party and instead Of liquor he
took cigars. for which those who treat
ed him paid so cents apiece. Harry
put all but one In his pocket. He spent
two hours smoking that one. After the
drinking was over the little comedian
went TO the cigar counter and said to
the man in charge. II say. man. wnd
We mind givin' me ten cent cigars for
these fatty cent ones?" The exchange
was made. and Harry went to his room
with five times as many cigars as he
had at the start.
