A Fable.
" F.


Once there was Wise Guy
who handed out large packages of
Wisdom and Advice in big.
Chunks, for Xmas, forget-me-nots
and New Years greetings. He
could tell all his friends how not
to break New Year resolutions,
by not making any at all, but just
to stop the Old King Ak bust
ness and take high seat on the
Water Wagon without any danger
of breaking a parole with himself.
He looked with supercilious scorn
and the Merry ha- ha on the boys
who eschewed the Mocha and Java
and the festive Glove and succulent
lemon peel as a breath hold-up,
and decried the lack of Will Pow
or in the man who couldn't quit
without saying it out loud to him
self.
O, he was It. And he told it SO
many times that some of the
Bunch began to believe it, and
kept right on Without laying up
any Resolutions tied with Daisy
ribbon or any of the Long Green
either. 0, yes, he quit, as he told
a few of the Dolls but he wasn't
Dragging about it. ''Just con-
cluded to stop for a year or SO
anyway. Dead easy. Didn't care
for it at all. Almost hated the
thought Of it. Be a cold day when
the Bar Blocks got any of his
Ready for some time. Coin to
soak it. Nice vacation in the
Summer, gentle Annie" and all
that.
He made a great Hit with the
girls. $50 firm. Regular Soldier
of Fortune" And just then Fate
cut in and he got his discharge.
He was put on the Banquet Com
mittee of the Lodge and the
Morning After it happened it took
three 'skees and two cocktails to
get his Lining warped back into
Shape, and ever since he has been
testing his nerves at fourteen inch
