4 Mixed Drink.

y Chesapeake City youth who often
visits Philadelphia by way Of Elkton one
evening arrived here with five demijohns
IN his charge which he had taken to the
city for five of his friends and had filled
with hisky. He left them in place of
business i'll Eikton while he went out for
a while. During his absence a glass of
the intoxicant was taken from one of the
demiiohns. After the young man had
made off with his whisky the persons
present hunted up the concealed glass in
the expectation of each having good
drink of what ought to be scarce in a
local option county. TO their surprise
aud disappointment they found the
whisky had mixed with it some greasy
substance, and therefore was unpalitable.
The next time the young Chesapeaker
came to the place he was told about the
matter, and asked how he came to buy
such bad whisky. The matter was soon
explained. One of his friends ol
customers who had handed him the
deiniiohn to haze filled was ignorant OF
the fact that his wife was using it for Z
coal oil can, and that it had some coal OF
in it at the time. On his way to Ches
apeake City he had offered drink to a
friend who has hardly got the taste Of
the mixture out Of his mouth yet.
