Show j They Missed a Good D loner. ' Cold type cannot reproduce the flavor of , the inimitable stories which a young busi-I busi-I ness man of this city tells of a boarding , house of days gone by where he took his meals for a season. The one which he tells with the keenest relish concerns the daily stew nb noon time, of which the young men grew desperately tired. As a last resort re-sort a council of war was held upstairs one noon, and a youth whs detailed to the back yard, by way of the kitchen, to look after a bicycle, and at the same time report as to the prospects of a stew for dinner. The spy returned reporting a pile of soup plates on the kitchen table. With one accord ac-cord the young men marched out to one of the down town eating houses and had a moat dinner. At tea the landlady took occasion oc-casion to express her regret for their absence ab-sence from the midday meal, informing them that sho had a nice roost of lamb that day for their especial benefit. j Springfield Homesteud. |
