Bucklin and his wife took the second

SpoiIed His Taste,

"a friend of mine," said a Montana
man, sis defending a damage suit for
being a party to making man take
the liquor cure without his consent.
This man had been on a protracted
spree of several weeks, and his bust
ness was going to the dogs. My friend
thought it would be kindly thing to
send him to a sanitarium for treat
ment. He did So and the man was
given the cure for the whisky habit.
When he was discharged from the
sanitarium the first thing he did was
to go to a saloon. He called for whis-
ky. He tasted 1t, but did not fancy
the flavor Of it. He set his distaste
of it down to the cure he had been
given by my friends orders and imme
diately began suit for $4,000 dam
ages. He says in his complaint that
he had a highly cultivated and dis
eliminating taste for whisky, which
had taken years to develop, and that
was spoiled by the cure. 1 do not
know how my friend will come out,
but he is not helping any more down
and outs without first obtaining their
consent."-New York Journal.
