"Why, Ben Harrison, now Republican
candidate for President, once had a grand
father who ran for President, and got there
on cider; that is, his bosses set up the APP
ple-juice for everybody, and the country
got drunk, and grandfather was elected
went in at the bunghole and came out at
the White House"
'But you say he got there isn't that
what campaigns is for ?"
Certainly. The Nation drank cider,
and Grandfather Harrison died a month
after he got in. Cider works quick, you
see, and works long, for Grandson Harrison
says 4 am unalterably opposed to prohibit
tion.' That is, William Henry drank hard
cider, and Benjamin's teeth are set on edge
or will be by November; cider forty
| eight years old gets pretty hard. But it is
threatened the grandson will tallow up that
| old mill, pick the seeds from its teeth, and
try to make it grind votes again"
"Do you think it will work ?"
"Well, if the mill works, the cider will,
too-wo-k backwards for prohibition. The
W. C. T. U. has tramped over the cider
mill till it's about as out of fashion as the
Long Island windmill, and even gray
haired wine-sops don't want their boys
lifting cider through a straw. If Goodman
Fl. pats his chances into the apple-press,
they'll come ont too worm-juiey to feed

because it makes its friends hard, [ sup

to become a hard-cider hopeless, begin on
sweet-cider, and you'll get there sure as
Grandpa Harrison did. But by-and-by
you'll think the cider accommodation a
little slow, and into your travelling-grip
you'll sling the tender heart of some fair
girl, the tears of disappointed parents, the
memory OF a bright eye ana 4 ciear Skin,
the pantaloons of commercial prospect all
gone at the seat, and that best of chest
