The whole world has run mad on
baseball and but little wonder when

more liquor and beer in the city now
than when the dispenaary was there.
Any "policeman" will show you where
you buy it during day or night right
over the counter. regular bar room

reigns, we are told, you can get the
"meanest" liquor you ever saw or
drank anywhere, and at any time, also
