"S'OLL RIGHT, SIR"

A man passing up Pleasant street
late Saturday evening saw some one
leaning against the door of the. Bap-
tist church, and. on looking more
closely, observed he was in the act of
taking drink from bottle. On see
ing the man approach, and probably
thinking him to be patrolman, the
fellow reeled around, and taking hold
of the door handle said - .,,4g =.
f'S'oll right, SIR; board here, s'r, and
allus tak'r drink fore I go9to bed.IiT y
The man called his attention TO the
fact that the. building on which he
leaned for support was a Baptist
church, and suggested that he had
best go home before the bottle had
him in the gutter. Wherenpon, Tip
sy corked his bottle and said, discour-
