IIorrlfying Experience of u Temperance
Girl, who Drank II Glass of Soda With a
Wink In II.
New Haven Union.
There is beautiful Young lady--a
temperance girl-who has II pair of
eyes that sparkle so that stranger
would think she was winking when
she looked up and smiled She would
not wink for anything, but when she
smiles the sclvagc around her eyes
seem to draw up, and well, if it isn't
a wink ii is well calculated to deceive.
She was on the way TO the temperance
lodge the other night, and stopped at Il
soda fountain TO get Il glass Of soda,
and when the clerk asked what flavor
She would have, she looked up at him
and smiled and said: 81 will leave
that to you,' The clerk said aftcrward,
when her brother came in after the
lodge was out to whip him, that he
would have sworn she winkcd. 1t
seems that some of the customers want
a little brandy in their soda, and the
proprietor told the clerk that when
ANYBODY winkrd and looked sort of
cunning, TO put in little brandy with
the ilavoling. He thought she was one
of the wnking customers, and he thinks
now he might have put in little too
much. The noble duke Of the lodge
refuses TO accept the explanation up TO
this time, though ii is thought he Will
/ ret over his ANNOYANCE before the next
meeting, and let the girl remain n
member, ii she desires TO do SO, though
she says She does not Sro how She can
ever look the brothers ana sisters in
the face. They tell two orthrcc stories
about it, but the version Of the grand
worthy chaplain OF the lodge seems to
be accepted as the true one.
The soda began to take effect ON the
girl lust as She got into the antc-rOom.
and instead Of whispering thcpasSword
to the outside sentinel, that worthy
official. who is Il young married man,
SAYS she put her mouth up TO his ear
and bit it, and then threw her arms
around hi, neck. He would not have
cared so much about this, only his
