TOO MUCH LIQUID.
Farmkr Jexkixs believed in the good oldfashioned idea of giving all the farm hands and labourers a real good Christmas feed at the festive season. Ho he determined to give them something to remember last year, and ordered the feast to start with soup, to be followed by goose, roast beef, and unlimited supplies of plum-pudding. The farm hands duly assembled, and having fasted all day, so as to be in good trim for the Christmas feed, were prepared to make the supplies look foolish. Roust goose and beer were all they expected. " 'Ere, what's this 'ere? 6 said a disappointed son of toil, when a huge plate of soup was placed before him. "You've forgotten the goose and stuffln'. I don't want all gravy!"
