A Ruin Feed.

The guest at the hotel table was not satisfied by a great deal with the menu and he was bad mannered enough to say so. “Perhaps, sir,” said the waiter, politely, “you’d like some of the rum punch.” “The what?” “The rum punch, sir.” “Well, bring it on and let me see. I’ve tried your rum meat and rum vegetables and rum bread and a dozen more rum things you’ve got here and maybe I won’t be disappointed in your rum punch. Bring it on and be in a hurry about it.”—N. Y. Recorder.
