The Drinkers Linger Longer and Are Apt

Do you find that men who do their drinking
sitting down are apt to-well, get overcome
quicker than those who stand up to it ~ was
asked of the proprietor of popular restaurant.
''Yes, we do,'S he answered, ''and it's easy
enough to see the reason'
''Well, what is it ~
''In the first place, party of men who sit
down and linger over their drinks are so much
at their ease that they get telling stories and
reminiscing, and drink round after round
almost without noticing what they are doing
You see, the stories and the talk are the main
thing with them, and they don't think how
much they have taken aboard until they get up
and attempt to navigate They came in only in
tending to take one drink, but when they get
comfortably settled at the tables and listening
to good stories it's very natural for them to stay
there an hour or so. Every time good story is
told the laugh goes round, and then some one
yells, Let's have another, boys;' and so 1t goes
until they are all pretty well corned.
'Besides that the restaurateur continued,
''lquor seems to affect man quicker when he
sits down to it than when he drinks standing
up. The fumes 90 to his head right off and
make him hilarious or quarelsome. If he stands

stone work on his own hook. The men
claim that they will not return TO work
until their demands are complied with.
