SHOWING THE EVILS OF RUM. Peter Dwindle, with a fat body and a large eye for the main chance, had eschewed the use of red liquor for sev- eral months prior to the glad New Year. He had been informed that if he desired to hold his Job It would be well for him to take the advice of his employer on the point. Resting as he did on the last bulwark of prosperity, ‘The day before the glad New Year ar- rived Dwindle met a friend who showed him with pride a red Morooca pocket- book, compliments of Slopton and n yel- low calf memorandum book, compll- ments of Jagson. Slopton and Jagson sell red liquor 3% days in the year, do- spite the activily of police and prosecu- tor. c ‘Good fellows, Slopton and Jagson,” remarked the friend, “Always remem- ber their customers on New Year's, These things must have cost them a pretty penny, eh?” Then Dwindle Agreed. Dwindle looked them over and agreed, He thought df they were giving such | tokens for tie price of a drink 1t might ‘bo worth while taking a chance, “Very pretty,” he suid, and he went on his way, It so happened that last evening Dwindle passed the carnvansary of Blopton as the lights were being turned | o | ‘Just one for the red pocketbook,” he thought to himself, and ‘he entered. “Gimme a high ball.” he sald with an expansive smile to the bartender, who seemed glad to see him Dwindle absorbed the high-ball slowly and kept watch forthe red pocketbook with one eye while he kept the other on the Iecent check, It was not imme- diately forthcoming.
