Taking a Mean Advantage
Waiting for the ice to break, a party of
night hawks at the Budweiser were put in
good humor • m- night recently by a little
incident which brought music from the cash j
register. One of the party asked a certain,
young mail (who shall be nameless) for the I
loan of some money, and was informed by !
him that all lie had was one dollar. An
other member of the party, a well known j
business man who likes his little joke,
said “I’ve got S3.50 here, and I’ll bet
the drinks for the house you’ve got more!
money in your pocket than I have.'' The j
unnamed one. who is known as a thorough
sport, replied that he did not wish to take
advantage of the business man. as he really
had only one dollar, and therefore had no j
chance to lose. The offer was repeated,
however, and the bet was acecpted. Thp

Good Advice Was Plentiful
The barge of Crowley iV Porter, which
lay frozen in the river ice in the rear of
.hat firm’s store, was the object of the
solicitous attention of almost all the men
of lei-iirr iii t iwn early in the week. The
barge lay in a dangerou- position, ami it
was necessary to move it before the ice
moved. It was found to be filled with ice
and fro/a n to the bottom The laumlrv
plant wa- empl yr 1 in freeing the ve I of
ice and water and then it was discovered
that he leaked so badly as to make i ump

was freed from the ice. and on Wednesday
night she was towed, water-logged, to a
point of -steps. Tolly a hundred pop I■ •
lay claim to the credit of saving her.
Many Wagers Made
The exact time of the moving of tr .- river
ice was the sublet of many -mall wager-,
and the flag placed on the ice to mark the
movement was eagerly watched. W’h m ex
