ANEW YEAR FAB L.S
An interesting displ ay of
strength and perseverance was
giteh by a werthy eitizen last
Monday night
▲ local Boniface had made him
a New Year’s gift of a barrel ol
suds on condition it was removed
and consumed before midnight
Patrick, as we will call him,
, rolled the barrel from the build
ing manfully, but at the back
jdoor wwa flight of steps to as
cend. Jbor every step he i\ •
ceded two, and there were raany
conjectures as to whether the!
booty would advance far before
*1918. Patience and pers
everance finally won the day,
and all hands and the beer
reached the cabin in timj to
farewell the old year with due
^cereinomy, which goes to show
'you ca i\ down the Irish.
