smile as he replied:
''Oh! it is nothing that will hurt man
or beast, assure you, if it is in a jug.
1t is only pure Adams ale, brewed this
morning under the elms you see over
yonder. Will you have a pull?''
Then he rested the jug upon the
fence, and the young man drank as if
he was burning with thirst. When he
had finished the farmer said to him:

of ale, young man, and less of 'tother,

mans advice, and stop at once. 1 can
drink as much as please of my Adams
ale and feel none the worse for it. In
stead, it freshens me up, and makes me
strong and steady for work. I reckon
you cannot say the same of yours"

morning"

good advice, which were listened to be-

horses:
'Come, lads, get up! Go long there,
Bill! What are you about there, Doll,
old girl? We must be after them this

His advice is just as good for us as it
was for the young man. Adams ale
is the safest drink, the best drink for
everyone. Why is it called adams
ale?" Because it was the drink God
