WITH THE FUNNY MAN

Why Willie Wept. Reminiscences were in order among a party seated at a table at the Belle-vue-Btratford last evening. A meal of unusual excellence had just been finished, and apropos of the delicacies. Or. J. C. Snyder said: , / "This meal and the way I feel about it reminds me of a stunt my father tried on the boys when I was a youngster. I suppose we were the hungriest lot of youngsters that ever lived. "At any rate, we kept father busy providing fpr us. Among other things we were very fond of sugar and were continually asking for It. “One day k barrel of sugar arrived. Opening it father lined us up and told us to go in and eat all we could. We started In. It wasn’t lbng before the oldest of us had our fill and left. But Willie, the youngest, -stayed by the barrel. “After a time he came out crying. Wondering, we asked whaCthe trouble was. He replied: “ ‘Boo,boo, I can’t eat it all.’ And that’s the way I feel tonight."
