The st Lonis Globe Damocra, quotes
bar ender OF that city as ylng: Why
did ask that gentleman what he would
have whsn l know he had drank
no.hirg but Whlsky and lemon fol
twenty yeaHs? Because 1t is our policy

that you did not know that gentleman,
aud he came In, asd withou; saying 8
wora would pnt up whisky and lemon,
what would you think? Why, you
would ssy to yourself, "That man is AT
old s'kger here. Taere is no need ol
asking him what he wautr; th'y know
him." 81 We always make IL 8 poini
