Tired of Higb living.

A member of the police force came across a boy the other day who was wheeling home a load of oyster cans and bottles, and, curious to know what use the lad could put them to, he made a direct inquiry: “Going to throw them over into our back yard,” replied the boy. “I took two loads home yesterday.” “But what do you use them for?’ ‘Tt’s a trick of the family,” grinned the lad. “How trick?' “I’d just as lief tell,” continued the boy, as be spit on his hands to resume hold on the barrow. “We are going to have some relashuns come in from the country. We may not have much to eat, but If they see these cans and bottles and boxes they’ll think we’ve had Isters, champagne, figs and nuts till we’ve got tired of ’em and are living on bread and taters for a healthy change.” The officer scratched his ear like a man who had received a new idea.— New Orleans Times-Denjocrat.
