''Of conrse it is awfully funny to
shout Lock up the wine cellar, Mary,
for the plumber is coming said one
of the big-bill gentlemen to a reporter,
'.but it isn't a pleasant remark for a
plumber to hear"
.'ls II true that plumber can empty
barrel of whisky while he is soldering
up pin-hole in a water pipe?"
Nonsense! Mind. don't say that
when plumber is worNing in a rich
mans cellar where there are barrels of
liquor that he won't take a drink now
and then-that is, some of them will. ="
'.How is it with yourself?'
.'Oh, l sometimes turn the faucet, but
never to take more than drink or two
in day, excepting once"
"Nhen was that?"
You won't put that in the paper,
will you?"
Sure"
Then I'll tell you all about. Three
or four years ago Jim and | had a lob
up on Woodward avenue When we
went down into the cellar the servant
girl followed us, took brass KEY that
was hanging on nail and carried it
up stairs. There was cask of French
brandy, barrel of bourbon. another
of port and another of sherry, and
there was barrel-room locked, full of
bottled liquors. 1t made us smack our
lips, just to look around at the barrels
and bottles, but when it came to tax
ing drink. the liquor might as well
have been in the moon. The barrels
all had these patent lock faucets in
them, and the girl had carried off the
key.
I'VE worked away all the forenoon
with nothing but water to drink, but
Jim swore that he would have some of
that wine in the afternoon, though l
couldn't see how he was going to get
it; L hadn't got my trade learned then.
Pretty soon after we went to work in
the afternoon Jim pulled about yard
OF small rubber tubing out of his
pocket, hunted up an empty fruit jar,
knocked out a bung and siphoned out
a couple quarts of port. Maybe we
didn't get SO drunk that we had to quit
work" Detroit Free Press

During our State canvass in 1888 the
Democrats were bowling about the aboli-
ton of the contract system in the Peniten-
tiary, and when they got to work in the
Legislature last winter they got in their
work. They abolished contract labor but
put nothing in its place. Hence the con-
vics were idle and had to be fed and
clothed entirely at public expense, at an
aggregate of outlay that frightened even
the Democrats. And they have now really
restored the contract system under a new
name-'the piece-price plan" A few days
ago the workingmen of Cincinnati pro-
tested against the new measure and now
