AS E.kton and probably other towns in
the county have recently been afflicted with
that particular type of illegal liquor saloon,
known as the "speak-easy," to our uniniti-
ated readers, the following description of
one may be Of interest. A speak easy" is
a saloon where liquor is sold without a
license, and also where different language
is spoken from that used in the licensed
saloon. For instance, a man goes to the I'M
licensed saloon desiring to get an intoxcat-
ing drink. If he wants whisky he quietly
says to the attendant, Birthstone" or
"Tar-water," the meaning of one term being
as we'll understood as the other. For beer
''milk" is asked for, and so on through the
list. In order that the party who has been
testify falsely il summoned before the
Grand Jury, he shuts his eyes while drink
ing. This procedure is supposed to fortify
the drinker to such an extent that he will,
If the occasion shall demand, swear that,
although he drank something, he did not
know what it was.

yenience. The Methodists of Elkton are
