nearly got another inspiration then
and there. And as | stood there
in that prosaic storehouse with my
nose up against one of those inn
mense hop-packed bales, | remem-
Der that hop pillows cure head
ache and insomnia and lots OF
other distressing things ust in
their natural state. And if they'll
do that dry what can't they do
when they have been processed
under the watchful eye OF brew
master, whose inherited skill in
coaxing liquid amber JOY from malt
and hops has been educated up to
the ultimate by an apprenticeship
that in this hustling, fastening
country OF ours would seem al
most lifetime.
There came to my mind, too,
that story-a really truly story
OF the tired traveller who drifted
into the hop storehouse of a Ger
man brewery-'twas in Munich, |
think-and went to sleep on a bale
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-03-29

Saazer hops are SO famous that,
like every other good thing, people
are always trying to sell something
else in their place.
| just wish that sufficient in
formation had stuck to my men
tally, of the lot | learned in that
trip through the mazes of the beer
process, to tell about it in ordinar-
lily intelligent, instructive fashion.
I'm mighty sure 'twould interest
you-every one Of you-quite a
deal more than you think possible.
But | don't remember, so there's
an end to it.
| recollect seeing the biggest
shiny copper kettle you could ever
imagine-a kettle that, I think,
would hold soup enough to feed all
the hungry unemployed in the
United States with one cooking
and another copper kettle, just as
shiny and almost as big, that l
was told was a mash tub. And |
know, too, although I'm no ma
chinist, that the apparatus in the
Abner-Drury plant is OF the very
latest model and as good. if not
better, than that in any brewery
in this country or abroad, whether
big or little.
What in me, world would one of
the old-time brewmasters say if he
could see the inside of a modern
brewery-of the Abner-Drury
plant, for instance. In the old days
the mash tub was vastly smaller
than even the mash tub of one of
the little breweries in this country
today, and when Mr.. Brewmaster
wanted to get his nixture-what-
ever It's called at that stage-per-
fectly stirred he had to do it HIM
self by hand. or turn the job over
to some OF his husky apprentices.
Nowadays all this-in fact, every
feature OF the brewing-is done by
modern machinery.
In this Abner-Drury tour of
mine | remember seeing, too, a
regular flock OF enormous recep-
taclcs to hold the beer as it pro-
crossed through the different
stages OF brewing. Some of these
looked like the pictures OF the
great wine tuns of former DAYS and
were big enough to make literal
that old story OF the vintner who
was drowned in one of his own
tuns by bitter rival and unsuc
cessful rival in love.
After more or less cursory ex-
animation OF the rest OF the plant
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-03-29

of hops. And he slept for twenty
years. This is a really truly story
and you mustn't laugh, though Id
like to know myself whether the
brewery was in the hands of a re-
ceiver or why they didn't find him
sooner. Anyhow, when they did
find him he woke up looking
Younger than when he went to
sleep. and cussed everybody out
for disturbing him just at the most
interesting and exacting point OF
perfectly beautiful dream.
But having an engagement for
next week | didn It wish to emulate
the example OF this sincere sleeper
OF Munich, and so | took another
half dozen long farewell shifts at
a bale that had come straight from
the celebrated Saazer town district
in Bohemia. where they grow hops
that for beer-making purposes
have every other variety backed off
the map. But before | left | first
glanced at the seal on the imported
bale, and 10 and behold, it bore the
township seal and the signatures OF
the burgomo ster and secretary of
that district. Aren't they thorough
folks over there? They have to do
that, | am told, in order to avoid
substitution and deception being
practiced upon their customers.

much better, and for a time | didn' I
know why. All around the room
were packed immense bales or
bags OF extraordinarily clean-look-
ing grayish sacking-every bag or
bale stuffed round and fat and
most prosperous looking. And |
was about to as k what was in
them when | noticed my mind was
sort OF wandering. | didn't seem
to be thinking of breweries at all.
| was out in the country some
where. with the breeze rustling the
trees and waiting to me, across
acres and acres OF waving pole
bound green, the freshest, most de-

saw lambs gamboling in the near
distance and kind-faced old COWS
drinking at cool clear springs
