A Coop SCHEME.-Wives who have
drinking husbands should cut this out
and paste it on the looking glass. A
western journal has the following
very practical remarks for those who
cannot get along without frequent
WHISTLES "Llquor dealers pay on an
average two dollars a gallon for whis-
key. One gallon contains an average
of sixty-five drinks; and at ten cents
drink the poor man pays six dollars
and fifty cents per gallon for his
whiskey. Ia other words, he pays two
dollars for the whiskey, and four dol
lars and fifty cents to the man hand
ing it over the bar. Make your wife
your bar-keeper. Lend her two dol
lars to buy gallon of whisky for q
beginning, and every time you want
q drink go and pay ten cents for it.
By the time you have drank gallon
she will have six dollars and fifty
cents, or enough to refund the two
dollars borrowed from you, and to
pay for another gallon of whisky an6
have a balance of two dollars ano
fifty cents left. She will be able te
conduct future operations on her own
capital; and when you become an in.
ebriate, unable to support yourself
and Stunned and despised by all re.
spectacle persons, your wife will have
enough money to keep you until yor
get ready to fill a drunkard's grave.
