His Little Snack.

It is perhaps because there are exceptions to all rules that some persons seem to be able to bid defiance to many of the recognized laws of health. “Wouldn’t you like a little something to eat before you go to bed?” said an old farmer to a guest who was about retiring for the night “No, thank you,” was the reply. “I never eat anything after supper.” “You don’t? Well, I couldn’t sleep if I didn’t have a little snack of some sort ’fore I went to bed, Of course 1 don’t want a reg’lar meal, but I feel all the better for a piece of pie and two or three doughnuts with some cheese, and a pickle and a bite of cold pork—some light refreshment, you know, just to stay the stomach.”
