WHISKY ExPERrs.-The other day a
-, case Of liquor selling to Indians was
on trial in Justice Putnam's Court.
The bottle of liquor captured was there
In evidence, and a couple of experts
had to be summoned to legally decide
as to what the bottle contained. Con,
stable Harkin went out ant summoned
two men of undoubted experience anu
Judgment in the matter, but when 1t
came to the test they appeared puzzled,
strange as It may seem. Each took n
coupie of swallows or so from the
bottle, and smacked their lips, while
their rosy old noses glOwed with APP
prsciatiye warmth, and one said he was
doubtful, while the other acknowledged
that he didn't know yet. They took a
few more pulls at it, and finally de-
eIded that 1t was whisky. BY this
time there wasn't half l, drink ieit LOT
the Court and jury, yet no one believed
that those experts could moi have tod
what the liquor was ut the very first
sIp. Few Gold Killers are so Ignorant
as all that amounts to.
