knows as we'll what he Is talking
about as if he were handling the tariff

Of n of his visits to the governor,

TALLY
the major was not exoelled In the blue
grass country, and, "peaoe be to his
sshes," no man ever derived more
pleasure from a prank upon his friends
than he. He welcomed bis guests
and Immediately invited them to test
the quality Of his liquor and pro.
nounce upon its age, brand, flavor,
ETC., remarking that he wanted to see
which was the best judge of the two.
Beck sampled 1t straight, first; then
sought for Its merits In q toddy, and
again tried It with a little ice and mint
added. Meanwhile the governor
slipped 1t In the shape of grog. They
would only agree In regard to one
point-that the liquor was good-in
fact, very superior liquor. The sepa.
tor pronounced it MoBrayer; the gov
ernor insisted that it was the d. l..
Moore, known as the Gold Water
brand. The aenator said 1t was fully
8 years old; the governor limited 1t to
6. The while the governor thought
If there was any foreign flavor II was
that of leather. At this point the
host became apparently very indig'
nant, and observed: Gentlemen,
there's only about q gallon left In the
barrel; there was nearly three when
you came, and l will have 1t brough,
