The speaker was Admiral Sir Al

at the Metropolitan club. The admiral,

several books, was asked to give a
mental description OF life on board a

progress Of an actual fight In view
of the great Increase in naval strength
which is taking place in every nation

a dozen waistcoats were pressed

the proposition that one drink makes a
man drunk and more makes him a
drunkard. Just then two well dressed
men entered and, brushing by the wo-
man, ordered highballs.
Don't drink that rotten slop
shouted Carrie. Every drink puts
you nearer your funeral -
Even this warning did not prevent
the two men from gulping down the
hignballs, and they gave Carrie the
laugh and departed. She shook her
fist at the proprietor and declared that
he was on the road to hell.
After Mrs. Nation had taken her
leave everybody had fresh drink, and
the proprietor was so well pleased
with the attraction that he has invited
the smasher TO return again and de-
liver another lecture.
