Show Flower a Big Eater. Roswell P. Flower is a funny fellow when he eats. lie has always been nsed to good things, and he knows them now when he sees them. He is a big eater and a fair drinker. But his peculiarity is that he always wants a whole canvas-back canvas-back duck to himself. If there are 20 at dinner or only 2, a duck is placed before the governor, with a big carving knife, and he helps himself to the slices as he wants them. He does not want his duck carved for him, nor does he want to share it. But he will pay the bill for as many ducks as may be necessary to supply the whole party, even if all want separata ducks. All the hotels know his peculiarity peculiar-ity and look out for him. New York fc.ira.ld. |
