FOREST AND STREAM. 



Too Smabt bt Half.— A police inspector on 

 being informed that a restaurateur in his baili- 

 wick was serving game out of season, visits tbe 

 restaurant in mufti and orders dinner. ""Wait- 

 er," says he, " can you give me a salrni of part- 

 ridge ?" 



" Settingly, sir," replies the waiter, promptly, 

 and yells to the cook, "Partridge for one." 



The Inspector finishes his dinner leisurely and 

 then says to the waiter, "Ask the boss to step 

 this way a minute." 



" What for ?" 



" I wish to notify him to appear in court to- 

 morrow and answer for selling partridge out of 

 season." 



" O, I guess it ain't worth while bothering him 

 about that." 



" Do as 1 tell you. I am the Police Inspector, 

 and have secured the necessary evidence against 

 him." 



" O, I spotted you and guessed what you were 

 after. It wasn't partridge you had." 



Police Inspector (uneasily) — What was it, 

 then ? 



Waiter (cheerfully)— Crow.
