They drank it, aud pronounced it so good thoy decided to have another. After drinkiug this also, they paid 10s and loft. The landlord, on returning, asked what had been sold. " Two bottles of wiuc," said the maid. " Whore did you get it from?' said the landlord. The girl pointed to the shelf where stood moro of the same bottlos, when the masroaring with laughter, exclaimed, "That is ketchup, I only bottled it yesterday; but nevermind, it has paid well."
