take what 1 do,'' said old Josh Split,
in reply to- an initiation. He was q
topper of long standingand an abundant
capacity, and the boys looked at him
in astonishment.
1.-The idea," one of them replied,
''that you should prescribe conditions
is laughable. Perhaps you want to
force one of those abominable mixtures
on us. You are chief OF mixed drinks,
and won't agree to your condition"
''He wants to run us on castor-oil
and brandy" said the judge, who
would willingly have taken the oil to
get the brandy.
"No, Pm squar," replied old Split
Take my drink, I'm with you. !"
The boys agreed and stood along the
bar. Every one turned to Split, and
regarded him with interest.
''NIr Bartender" said Split "give
me glass of water"
"What waterr' the boys exclaimed.
Yes, water. It's new drink to
me. admit, and l expect it's Il scarce

sci of us went fishing, we took a fine
chance of whisky along, an had
heap of fun. Long toward even l got
powerful drunk, an crawled under q
tree and went to sleep. The boys
drank up all the whisky an came back
to town. They thought it a good joke
cause they'd left me out there drunk,
and told it around town with a mighty
buster. My son got hold of the report
and told it at home Well. I laid I'M
der the tree all night, and when L
woke in the morning there sot my
wife right thar by me. She didn't
say word when woke up; she sorter
turned her head away. She still didn't
say nothin', but 1 could see that she
was choEin'.
"'I wish l had suthing to drink
says l.
"Then she tuck cup which she
fotch with her, an went down to whar
Il spring billed up, an dipped up a cup
full an fotch it to me. jess as she
was handin' it to me she leaned over
to hide her eyes, an I seed a tear drop
in the water. took the cup and
drunk the water and the tear, an
raisin' my hands, 1 vowed that l would
never drink my wife's tears again;
that had been drinking them for the
last twenty years, and that l was 60
