RULE FOR DRINKING BEER.
"You can take this rule for drinking beer
1t won't hurt any man. woman or child to
drink beer, unless they drink 1t when they
don't want to. Never drink when you
don't want to. That's when it will hurt
you. 1t never will hurt any one to drink
q little beer that's as much as you want.
Never drink when you don't want to. Re-
member that, and you will get along all
right"

heard the story about Folk and the man who
was arrested? This man was hit in the
nose by another and thev had fight. He
was able to daze the fellow that hit him,
but the man had a gun. The man whom he
had attacked got the gun and told him to go
away. Ho wouldn't do it and so the man
had to fire at him. He did 1t three times
and shot him plumb in the stomach every
time.
well. this man was indicted for murder
and he went to see Folk He told Folk
all about it and Folk said: There is only
one thing that looks bad about this. That
is the fact that you shot this man while
he was running away from you Three
shots in the stomach and Folk thou ght that
the man was running away. Well says
the man to Folk, you think I'm damned
