The Hundred Pint Mystery.
(By Jamea 8nort)
'Twas a beautiful night In the
month of J una,
That marked the close of a lovely
day!
And the rosea smiled at the sliver
moon.
And 'blushed and bowed in his soft
*"Vwhlte ray.
The dred*lng-trape and tha chug
chug boats.
Were lulled to sleep on the watem
calm,
While musical cats and billy goats,
Enjoyed thie chorus of a nightly
psalm.
There was no guile In the hearts of
men,
As they closed their eyes for a
nlght'a repose?
I At peaceful bears la g coay den.
With six mosquitoes on every nose
But. alas! the stillness of the night
Was broken by the sound of the
Norfolk train,
Anfl two policemen came in sight
To take a look at "Lusty Jane."
And as no hoboes were in sight,
The "coppers" went to the baggage
room,
To afe 11 everything looked * right,
And catch a whif of each "perfume.
At last \he scent of "monkey rum"
Came briskly floating on the breeae.
As if some man were drinking some
Out on the lawn among the trees.
The "cop" could not mistake the
smell,
As he "had been there'' years be
fore;
No mortal man could fool him -well
With all-confusing scents galore.
And now some trunks wore rolled
inside,
And yet another trunk they saw.
The smell still swelling on the tdde.
Cood evidence of broken law!!
And now they opened wide the
trunka,
Th*?dr goodly contents to survey;
And there. Instead of uaual Junks.
They found the longings of the day.
One "copper" raised his tearful eyes
And with a nig*, looked heavenward.
The other said, "Tho' in disguise,
I'll bet my sox it's awful good."
And* th*?n a little toast was said,
The same, we offer here again;
And as you bow a solemn bead.
We hope from laughing you refrain.
The Toast.
"Now ill thla tranquil hour of night.
As the moon shines down but dim.
And faintly smiles on ths rose-biwto
bower,
Am tto rose-bud smile? at him.
We hold right here in sacred trust.
The blessed cream of this faAr land.
Were we not "copa>* right here we'd
"huat":
We'd drink this boose to beat the
But a? H is. my d?*ar old chum.
We will not take a single drop;
Of course we would be "going
But boo*? won't ml* with any "cop.*
