CUSTER CITY COCKTLEYL.
Liquor That Took Hold Quick and
Hold on Long,

tChicago 7,ibune.]
Tact and pQliteness obyiate many
difficulties. A returned miner from
the Black Hills arrived in town
yesterday, and went to q saloon and
asked for somo of the best whiskey
in the house, and when it was
served to him spat it out with un~
uttera bio loathing, and said, II
called for whiskey, young man
mebbe you didn't hear me7' Tho
barkeeper said that he had heard
him and that he had given him
whiskey, The gentleman from
Readwood proceeded with moro
deadly calmness, though his hand
instinotively sought his bip-pockot.
Il called for the best whiskey in
the house, young man, mebbe you
did not catch the full significance
of my language?" Now, many
another barkeeper under similar
circumstances would have resented
the insinuation rs to his liquor by
pouring it into the sink, and say.
ing, "You dou't know good whiskey
when you see it" or words to that
effect, or have offered the man
$500 if he could find as good
Whiskey as that anywhere on the
footstool, or in some other manner
not herein specified have led the
man from The Black Hills to draw
his revolver or hurl chair through
the mirror. But this barkeeper
was a man of quite another sort,
80 he said, kindly: Il beg your
pardon, Captain so many people
come round that don't know what
whiskey is, but might have soen
with half an eye that you knew the
difference. So be unbanely but
hurriedly mixed in q bottle some
alcohol, kept for cleaning the
mirror, and spirits of turpentine
and Jamaica ginger, and Perry
Davis pain-killer, and when the
stranger sud "Yes" in reply to his
question whether he liked some
bitters ip 1T, shook half q gill of
peppersauce into @ t,1mbler and
pushed the bottle towards him.
The stranger filled q hoaping tum-
blerfpl and passed it off, and when
he had recovered his breath said to
the barkeeper, Young man, that's
the whiskey. I haven't tasted
nothing like that since I left Custer
City two weeks ago to-day. That's
real genuine liquor; kinder cross
between circular saw and q
wildcat. That takes hold auicl,
and holds on long. just you go tc
Desdwood and open a saloon with
that whiskey, and you might charge
an ounce q glass for it and people
wouldn't kick. So long; take this
in remembrance of me- and, press
ing an $500 nugget upon the bar.
keeper, he was gone.
