It Is quite evident that our friend

description the service must have been
all that could be desired; but either
there was an insufficiencey of viands,
or Milt's appetite is abnormal. Any
way, after he had "cleaned up all the
grub" on the table except the sugar (
and a few crackers, he says the waiter j
tendered him a nice bowl of water j
sprinkled sugar over 'em and "got
away with that, too."
