Crawfish Gives Away a Milkman.

•'I have a dead sure ease agalnet my milkman,” said a prominent railroad official a day or two ago. “He waters his milk and I have, or rather my wife has, caught him dead to rights. The other day when we got our usual quantity of milk my wife was going to pour some from the can into a glass. Sae heard something hit the glass with a kind of dull thud and cou.d see something dark in the bottom of the glass. Pouring it carefully out into another vessel, what do you suppose she found? A live crawfish, by Jove. A big, lusty fellow, who seemed just as happy and contented as though he were working on an embryo crevasse in levee. Now, do you mean to tell me that my milkman did not pour water into the milk? He put a great deal in it, too. The fact probably is that he dipped a big bucket of water up and put it in the milk. His crawfishship got in the can that way.” —New Orleans Times Democrat.
