"The natives of the Emerald Isle, and those from the land of sour krout," said Mr. Jinks, with elegant paraphrase. "You mean Dutch and Irish?" "Yes, sir." "Very well; I understand that.

On one of his infrequent rounds he had encountered a strange odor in Number One, a suspicious, musty odor that refused to come under the classification of krout, kerosene, or herring.
