Where Are You +?

Have you taken up your position
in the rear ranks OF the whisky
drinking regiment?
Ii you have, and you are a young
man just beginning TO drink whisky,
or an old man who for years past
has been letting whisky get firm
hold on you, you should be reminded
of old William r Travers' favorite
story about the yachts at Newport.
Sailing into the harbor at New
port, he saw many beautiful yachts
at anchor on the sunny water.
Whose boat is thar
1T belongs to So-and-So, the
great Wall street broker
Whose yacht is that big one over
there?"
1T belongs to So-and So, another
great Wall street broker. y
And whose is that big steam
Yacht, almost as large as an ocean
linerl''
1T belongs TO the greatest of al
the Wall street brokers and bank
ers-So-and-So. "
He looked at the different yachts,
asked about them, and got always
the same answer. At last, With his
usual stutter, he asked:
Where are the customers
yachts?"
There were no customers yachts
to be seen.
The man that manufactures whisky
has his fast automobile, his various
big financial interests, his yacht anC
his fine house
The wholesale whisky dealer has
his fine carriage, and enjoys life.
The prosperous retailer of whisky
dresses his wife and daughters il
silks and satins, drives his fast trot
ting horse, aud enjoys the races.
Where is the automobile of tn,
confirmed whisky consumer? Wher,
is his fast trotling horse? Where
are his carriages?
He has none of these things. H.
buys them for the others.
To the manufactures, the whole
Saler and the retailer, he contrib
utes all his money, ali his chances O
success, his peace of mind, self
respect, and the welfare of his fami
ly.
If you are in this procession, ge
,ut of it. The longer you sta,
in it, the farther YOU will drop to
ward the end.
Sooner or later YOU will have tc
get out of it. 1t is better to get on
" an effort of the will and an asser
ion of character than by the fore,
# circumstances. Leave the pro
cession of your own free will. Don
be driven OUT at the far end of it.

One day as Two Travellers were pass

discovered a keg that had fallen from

know that it is cognac."
"And you have only to smell OF II
to be assured that II is claret."
"You certainly are stupid man."
"And you are little short OF fool
A minute later their language had
become so abusive that they rushed
forward and were engaged in lambast-
ing each other when the Carter re-
turned for his lost keg and bore 1t
away. Having bestowed many blows
and kicks, the combatants finally sep
arated, and as Peasant came out of
his field the first appealed to him:
'My friend. will you not agree with
me that the keg contained cognac"
HE must surely agree with me that
its contents was claret," added the sec

"the keg contained neither cognac nor

have soon learned, and you are not
even now in possession of that"

luck will end in having no luck at all.

"And what do you call too young"
