STREET, comes tempting us with his Wills
key of various grades, tempered with pure
cider and vinegar. Yes, he comes not only
with Irish whiskey, but with old rye, and
rum. and apple brandy. and wines, and the
likes OF them. There is no telling TO what
length he could carry these temptations.
He must think good deal OF these things
will be wanted during Chritmas-and we
shouldn't wonder II they are. All we can
say is, il the highly-respectable councilman
hasn't the best OF liquors IT - not because
he is not a Judge OF them; and barrin' o.

we're thinkin' he would be turned out |!
So you'd best try them.
