throttle. However. he says 1t was the
best his friends could do. and he took
the intention for the deed.
1t IS a bad proposition some OF my
people are up against in these dry
towns says the judge. but it seems
they must have something with which
TO wet their whistles. l heard yarn
about a fellow who was persuaded to
step into q drug store and have a nip
on election day. The old gentleman. OF
course. stepped, not needing second IN
vitation, and believing that the friends
who had told him that little whisky
had been secured for the occasion. had
not made a Misrepresentation, ne threw
his lips over the mouth OF the bottle.
