operators just in season to save them
from arrest: 1.-THE jointists' had

out of sight and you could not deter
mine from whence the drinks came or
who was dealing them out. About ten
feet was partitioned off the back part
of the building and another partition
put in crosswise of the room thus made
behind which, to the north side OF the
room, the "blind pig" was kept. On
the partition, about as high as mans
chest. some charcoal artist had drawn
the picture of beer glass under which
was written the word cider to the left
of this was the outline of a whiskey
glass below which read 'ginger-ale,' be-
tween the two caricatures was large
cork with hole through the center,
inserted into the wall, above the words
whisper through the hole beneath the
glasses and the cork was a hole in the
partition and drop your money in here
was scrawled beneath it, to tho left ut
all was a large drawer and after you
had whispered through the hole and
dropped your money in the slot the
drawer would shove out containing the
cider or 'ginger-ale' as per order, and
no one in sight. 1t must have been ter
irbly stout cider and 'ginger-ale' for
some of the boys were quite mellow
