were rounding up and he felt sorry for them.
 ''Why can't they pass 1t up, the same as I dor" he asked himself. "Ah, if only they knew how much more Fun it Is to be Respectable"
 It was an actual Mystery to him that any could daily with a Dry Martini while there was 8 Fly drant on every Corner.
 On the third Day he was crack ing his Whip and begging people to get upon the Wagon with him. And he said it was a Queer Thing but he couldn't bear the Sight of it.
 While on the fourth Evening he confessed to some nice People he met at Church Social that at one time he had allowed himself to be coaxed into taking an occasional Nip; but he reasoned it all out and decided it was a Bad Thing and simply Chopped it right off. They told him it was wonderful how much Will Power he had, and asked him if he ever felt the Old Craving coming back on him, and he said he could see it splash ing all around him and not have the faintest Desire to dip in.
 He was so stuck on himself that he went around to call on all his Friends who kept it on the Table so that he could wave it to one side and tell how he despised it. He sat there and pitied those who were inhaling it. Every Morning when he arose he would throw kisses to himself in the Glass and exclaim: Aha! The Head is as clear as a Bell this A. M.. I'll bet I'm the cleanest and incest Young Fellow in this Town. Any Girl that picks out a Sober and Steady Man such as I am will certainly be showing good Judgment"
 As Narrated at the Beginning, for three weeks he worked hard. at the Job of being an Abstainer. And at last he accumulated Sense of Virtue that weighed over 200 Pounds. He knew that he was entitled to a Reward, so he de- cided to buy himself a little Pres ent. Just a wee Reminder of by gone Days and then back to Sar- saparilla But he fell into Crowd. There was another State Conven- tion. It had been arranged for him so that he could get Fresh Start.

 ~ NCE there was an Indian H M who had a Way of put VU ting on all his Feathers
 and breaking out of the Reservation.
 For three Weeks at a Stretch he gave a Correct Imitation of the Shining Light who passes the Basket and superintends the Re- pairs on the Parsonage. He was entitled to Mark of 100 for De- pertinent. With his Meals he drank a little Polly. After Dinner he smoked one Perfecto and then, when he had put in frolicsome Hour or so with the North Amer ican Review, he crawled into the Hay at 9:30 P. M.
 At last he accumulated a Sense of Virtue that was hard to carry around. He was proud of himself when he counted up the number of days during which he had stuck to the Straight and Marrow. It seemed to him that he deserved a Reward. So he decided to buy himself a little Present, something costing about 15 cents. He picked out First-Class place where they had Electric Fans and Pictures by Old Masters. He poured out a Workingman's Size-the kind that makes the Barkeep stop wiping up and look unfriendly for a Moment or two.
 Then he remembered that a Bird cannot fly with one Wing, so he gently raised the Index Fin ger and gave the Prescription Clerk a Look, which in the Sign Language, means, Repeat the Dose"
 It is an Historical Fact that when Man falls backward from the Water Wagon he always lands in a Crowd. The full Stage Set ting, the Light Effects and the Red Fire were all ready to make 1t Spectacular Affair. Just after he had moved away No. and had stopped worrying about the Win ter's Coal, he began to meet Friends who were dying of Thirst. Then the atmosphere began to be curdled with High Balls and Ply mouth Sours and Mint Smashes and he was telling a Shoe Drum mer that lot of People who had been knocking him would proba- bly, be working for him before the Year was out.
