What Fools We Mortals Be.

When the st. Louis drummer strikes
this town the first place he visits is a
saloon and the first thing he calls for
is st. Louis beer. If the saloon keep.

the drummer walks out and goes to
another saloon. Why not. He is a
st. Louis drummer. He is drumming
for st. Louis. That is his business
He is paid to work for St. Louis and
he would be untrue to his employers.
untrue to his home town, were he to
do otherwise. He is a smart man. He
is a slick duck. He dresses well-dis-
plays a big roll of one dollar bills
and he makes the saloon keeper
believe he owns the earth or
is able to buy it. He makes the
round of all the saloons, calls
for St. Louis beer and St. Louis
cigars and by his cute ways frightens
some of the saloon-keepers into keep
ing some ST. Louis beer.
What fools we mOrtals be.

centage was .075 last year; that of Beck
