JOE sHEEsTER's PLEDGE.
One Joke Made Him Cult Drinking

''I hear that Uncle Joe Sheester. Of
Berks County, is dead" said John Gil

reminds me that he never broke the
pledge he made more than twenty years

about the suddenest and most lasting
case of turning over a new leaf in the

Joe Sheester was jolly old Dutch Penn
sylvania farmer, and he had been forty
years or more conspicuous as a citizen

bust bachelor, with plenty of money, he

loungers in the barroom had produced a
certain condition of boozness IN Uncle
Joe that made him no longer agreeable
or profitable company, AT this stage he
was always conducted to his horse and
helped upon her back. Uncle Joe never
had much control of his physical or men
tai faculties at such times, so long as he
was afoet, but the moment he was in the
saddle on Betsey's back he would
straighten up like major. AS soon as
he was well settled in the saddle and the
reins were in his hands his mare would be
off like a shot. and she invariably deliv-
cred Joe safe at his farmhouse door,
when Uncle Joe arrived at that par

of tricks and jokes on him, the general
obliquity of his discernment making him
