Because a man makes a law he may
not always break it with impunity.
Hiram Clayton, who keeps the Branch
town hotel and is quite a well-known
character, made rule some time ago for
the government of his barroom, says
the Philadelphia Record. He decided
that when a man went to sleep in his
barroom that was sufficient evidence
that the man had had enough to drink.
Upon awasing, therefore, the sleepy
one was promptly refused any more
liquor. The rule was rigidly inforced
both by Clayton himself and by his
brother-in-law, who acts as bartender.
One day recently, however, the rule
proved to be boomerang. Clayton was
sitting in his barroom, It was a very
warm afternoon and the host gradually
dozed off into a sound sleep. Some
time later customer came in. He wore
heavy boots and the noise of his
entrance awakened Clayton. The latter
sat up and rubbed his eyes. Come an

Clayton stood up against the bar and
sleepily called for beer. Sorry" SAID
the bartender, "but you can't have any

was now thoroughly awake. cts
against the rules; you've been asleep"
said the bartender, seriously. He stuck
to it, and his boss realizing the justice
of it was obliged to give in. The rule
has since been abolished.
