Quonekticut tribe of Red Men served
the annual game supper of the tribe
last evening to about 100 members of
the order and pale face or two. 1T
ism t proper, generally speaking, to
criticise, and one paleface who got up
from the table in the condition of the
boy who could chew all right but
couldn t swallow any more, would like
to suggest that next time someone of
the redskins who might know label the
meats. It seems as though it would
lie good to know at a particular mo
ment whether YOU were enjoying to the
uttermost coon, or rabbit, or antelope
or bear.
| As a supper, cooked deliciouslv, serv
ed promptly and piping hot, it was one
that few palefaces have enjoyed before.
/ Besides coon. rabbit and chicken, and
possibly some other kinds of meat,
there were mashed potatoes, cranberry
sauce, celery, pickles, coffee, ice cream
and-sweet cider. 1t was certainly
some supper.
