following anecdote -decided at the last
moment. An Irish laborer entered a
drug -store, and drawing a paper bag
from his pocket, poured on the coun-
ter a number of very sticky and unat-
tractive -looking lozenges.
"Can ye examine this candy?" he
asked.
"It looks queer. \\'hat is the mat-
iet with Il'" asked the druggist.
"Plzen. Oi'm thinkin'. Did ye leer

"Well. 1 can make an analysis."
"All right. OM come in to-tnorrow

The Irishman had mashed lite door.
but he suddenly stopped with his hand
on the latch.
"And how much will font 'nalysis
be oosling me " he inquired.
"Five dollars." was the answer.
The man walke;l over to the counter
and swept the lozenges Into the bag.
