Why He Was Sober and His compa.
Mons to the Bad.
A tall man stood at the bar with a
party of friends long after midnight.
He was the only sober one in the
bunch. His steadiness angered the
others. A final round of drinks was
ordered. The tall man asked for gin.
No gin" said tie least drunk of the
others to the bartender. Been trying
to get him full all night. Maybe gin1l
be only water. Last try. Give i'm
whisky"
Make it whisky, then" said the tall
man.
The sober mans hand c~arelessly
dropped down to his coat pocket, and
as carelessIy was raised to his lips
Nobody noticed 1t but the bartender
After the drinks the tall man put his
companions into cabs and then re-en
tered the cafe.
What was that you ate just before
Tou took that drink" asked the bar
tender.
"Raisins, my boy, raisins," said the
uSlOme Ihey We Deen my saliva
ton. l have been a rounder all my
life, have drunk many men under tn,
table and have never been seen t,
stagger. The secret of it is that early
in the game | learned that raigins
taken into the stomach before a drinl
will absorb the alcohol and prevent
it from exciting the brain. In all my
drinking bouts l keep a good supply OF
raisins in my pocket, and they hay,
