and pretzels incidentally, they soon had
an interesting audience.
Time flew. At o'clock in the morning
they were nowhere near half through.
They attempted to finish the argument
out on the street when the bartender
locked up, but as there we're indications
of hostilities right on the spot far-seeing
listeners parted them abruptly.
Joe wondered in somewhat dazed fash
ion why he had donned his dress clothes,
but couldn't dope it out" In a vague
way he remembered that he lived near
41st street and Lancaster avenue He
started in that direction. or at least
thought he did.
A familiar looking door loomed before
him and Dennig drew his key with an air
of confidence and a wobbly hand He
made several attacks on the keyhole, but
didn't get within mile of it.
policeman noticed Joe and noted that
the house which he was trying to enter
was for rent. He informed Joe to this
effect, but the latter became indignant.
"Nothn' to it," he replied; my peoples
on "a level Wouldn't play mean trick
be mcYin' while l wus out. wouldn'
move anyhow zey own ger house, see.
Nothin' to it." Again he speared for the
keyhole, but 1t kept lodging out of his
way.
The cop saw that words were useless
and took Joe for an interview before
Magistrate Stevenson.
The Judge was glad to see such a we'll
dressed prisoner before him. Joe found
reason coming back and explained that he
started for n farewell dinner to a friend
who was about to be married He ex-
pressed the belief, however, that the
friend wouldn't know whether he was
really there or not as the dinner was a
thoroughly wet function.
After much cropping through his head
Joe was able to announce his address
and policeman guided him to the correct
door, which was opened very wide by a
determined looking woman as soon as
Joe arrived on the front step.

Most keyhoies look alike Many Of
them are stubborn Even sober man
frequently has trouble in EXPLORING their
depths. Take an ordinary normal key
hole and a drunken man and complica-
tions are bound to follow.
Joe Dennig proved this eonclusiveiy.
He started out for a bachelors dinner in
full banquet scenery. In order to get his
enthusiasm at the proper pitch he paused
to chat with few bartenders on the way
TO the banquet hall. The more he drank
the more garrulous he became, To say
that he was in argumentative mood only
scratches the surface.
In the course of his stopping places Joe
met another Individual full of argument
and the ingredients which cause It, He
and Joe chatted idly over the European
war. OF course they held opposite views.
In short time they reached the map
drawing stage. With the aid OF the cheese
and crackers on the bar Joe showed the
position of one army, while his opponent
traced the course of the other with pickles
