Show THE TALE OF A BIG FEED There are etlll some mighty eaters left. Not long ago a Berlin market porter undertook, for a wager, to put away at one sitting six mutton chops, twelve eggs, a goone, a duck, six lbs. of potatoes, and twenty-two pounds of hay. Difficulties were anticipated with the last course, and large sums were laid against the accomplishment of the feat. The Ingenious porter solved the difficulty by calling for a cigarette after he bad finished the duck. He then set light to the hay, pounded the ashes up with potatoes, and swallowed the lot. After a heated heat-ed discussion the referee declared him the winner. |
