The laying Of the Atlantic cable was
celebrated by dinner In the Metro
politan Hotel. Many old New York
merchants, who had been farmers aud
mechanics In their boyhood days, were
among the guests. One of the latter
was Horace Greeley, who occupied n
seat near the presiding officer. Many
of the old merchants appeared with
old steel watch guards and antiquated
swallow-tail coats. Mr.. Greeley wore
his usual claw-hammer. The mer-
chants did not understand the French
bill OF fare, and without waiting for
the regular course, many Of them or
dered the walters to bring up beef
steak. Mr.. Greeley followed suit.
When the wine was brought on, the
majority Of tho company drank freely.
Mr.. Greeley placed hiJ hand over his
glass and refused to accept wine, say.
Ing that he drank only water.
WarrAn. Leland, the proprietor OF
the hotel, felt much chagrlned at Mr..
Greeley's action. He went to him and
said: "Now, look here, Horace, this
Is not treating your old neighbor right.
You and have been farmers for years
together. You have borrowed my har-
row and l have borrowed your plough.
When wanted scythe | went to
your place and borrowed it. IL you
run out of corn my barn was always
open to you. Here 1t Is the first time
that you have ever been in my house,
and 1 think that neighborly feeling
ought to require that you should take
little something and not drink cold
water"
'"Now, WARREN" answered Mr..
Greeley, "there's no use talking; l
never drank a drop Of spurious liquors
since signed the pledge in 1921, and
/ shall never drink drop. II was
going to drink a glass Of rum would
lust as soon drink with you rs any
other man; but l can't do it. Now 60
away and let me alone"
Warren grew red In the face. "Mr.
Greeley" he said. "thls Is not treating
me right. Here have kept hotel in
New York city for nearly twenty
wears, and the first time you have
come Into 1t you refused to drink my
health"
"No, don't" replied Horace; al
will drink your health with great
pleasure" raising his glass Of water.
"Not In water - answered Warren;
..tbat ia not the fluid to drink mans
health in. l insist that you shall let
me mix Won A drink. | will mix It
With NV own hands. can assure YOU
that no man In New York understands
mixing drinks better than do"
