miscellaneous drinker." The achieve

miscellaneous drinkers dumfounds the
spectator. Such drinker as il city JUS
tice who for his own individual refresh
ment has been known TO consume at q
single sitting whole case of cham
payne and arise from the tremendous
draught as sober as a judge, literally,
and without any symptoms of physical
discomfort. This feat is subject of
local gossip.
The Most Original
and famous miscellaneous drinker of
Gotham, however, is a club man, with
plenty of brains, who is at present in
New England. He is known as Let
Her Co." His habit is TO abstain COM
pletely from all intoXicants for two
| months. Then he has desire for liquid
eXhileration. and he gives himself up
to a mysterious, complicated Indulgence
that often eyhauSts in single even

tons. 1t is his method of curing him
self of brain WEAKNESS, and it works
when other. and apparently more Salu-
briouS, methods entirely fail. He came
to the club room one night, said he was
tired. and ordered small bottle OF
champagne. He drank it in great gulps.
Then he ordered London porter. and
after that Bass ale. Another member

newcomer said. looking down at the
drlnker with sympathetic glance.
HE has had abOut everything that
could serve" the jolly bartender said:
"He ought to be happy"
A little later the tired member awOke

cut cash over his eye and became
unconscious. The bartender spent
twenty minutes in reviving him and
left him asleep in the chair. The bar
tender, wearied himself. went into an
adjoining room and took an hours
nap. 1t was nearly 4 o'clock
in the morning when he awoke.
He hurried into the cafe to see how the
tired member had recovered from his
fall. The tired member was not there
The bartender dashed through the build
ing in anxious search. He stopped at
the threshold of the top floor dunn

Der with his coat off-playing pool with
another belated member. He was as
lively as cricket. He caught sight of
the bartender.
''Heigh. Max" he exclaimed, "bring
US two hotties OF Bass. Have it nice
and cold"
"Well, that beats the Dutch the bar
tender gasped. "I've been mixing
drinks for seven years. and Fve seen all
sorts of drinkers, but that man is the
cOrkingest c0rker ever served"
Say, old fellow" queried friend
who learned of the thirty five-bottle
bout when he came in a little later. and
was amazed at such a capacity for i'm

Shakespeare explains all that Di-
vine Billy told Cassie that good wine is
good familiar creature, if it be well

I've used good drink well. Is there any
mystery about it? Cassie didn't, and
that's where he made big mistake"
Other types of bibulous cccentricity
are the drinker who wants to dance
under the eXhlaration Of cheering bev-
erages. the man who wants to sing. and
The man who wants to tell funny stories.
Anybody who has been where good fell
lowship abonnds has met these types.
Everybody likes them. TOO.
Why do men drink too much?
That Is query heard thousand
times year for which there are prob
ably thousand answers. 1t opens a
wide and not unintereSting field of
speculation for any one who likes to

solves the whole problem, experienced
drinkers assert. when he utters the ju-
bilant expression, That last bottle
went to the right spot. / WONDER" the
bald-headed monarch adds, where the
right spot is that good liquor goes to,
anyh0w"'
1T is that particular part OF the stom-
ach that is sOothed by liquor. because
the beverage comes in contact with the
nerves that carry felicitOus sensations
10 the brain. Men drink and will con-
tinuc to drink for ages to come to Sc
cure this pleasant eXcitation of these
particular nerves. Blundering search
for the right spot is what gets men
drunk. The motives that induce them
to seek the consolation and inspiration
from the sparkling OF mellow goblet are
multitudiDous and unique.
"Wiliiam," the great international
artist in intoXicants, discussed the sub
ject in enthusiastically picturesque
fashion. Yes. sir, if you please, you
| ask me why do men get drunk. The
men | watch, sir. get too much aboard
because they feel so good while drink
ing that, if you please, they take too
much before they know it. They are
the drinkers who drink without any de.
liberate sign of getting intoxicated. The
funniest man of those who go at it in
tentionally is the man, who, pardon me,
says he feels SO good that he must 'haye
Something.'
Tine opposite is the man who feels so
badly that he can't help get along with
out something to brace him up. Lots of
men, as you know. fly to the cheering
cup because they get stuck on a girl.
Men, you have also observed, L believe,
| if you please. take to liquor because they
can't get rid of the girl. We can't help
sympathizing with them, l think, sir.
| Brokers you know brokers-brokers are
the queerest sort OF drinkers. They will
| get full one day because stocks have gone
up. The very next day they will get
! fuller because stocks have come down.
And so it goes. The coming into the
world of boy baby or girl baby, but
particularly a boy, will prompt man
who never drinks at all to set cham
payne corks popping furiously, and a
death is proyerbal for driving men to
drink. In short, every emotion that the
human heart can experience develops
in different men, if you please,
sir; yes, sir, a desire to 90
out and get a stiff horn. But
for your thoroughbred enthusiast, the
man who wants the world to come in
and have some fun with him, and keep
the thing bubbling till the COWS come
home, give me the glorious young fellow
| who is going to marry the best girl in
the world Tomorrow He is drinke1
whose geniality spreads out benefcent
cOntagion and makes the whole world
happy and want to congratulate the
girl"
