and over the mahogany bar. The red
shirted laborer who has hailed the
GROWER at the stroke OF IL upon
hot summer day will perhaps have
to take to cold tea or ice cream soda.
The poker party, with its cigar Tired
at rakish angle, with the smoke
making it hard to tell pair of queens
from a full house, will have to take

can the host carry the water pitcher
down to the corner, where the green
doors swing both ways. The growl-
er has passed on beyond.
And sad to say 1t. the Retail Liquor
Dealers association did not favor the
growler, and, in fact, helped to Danish
it. The man in the red shirt and car
pet slippers, who has been seen swing
ing joyfully toward his little cottage
home with a pail of trimming amber
in his right hand, believes in gen
eral way that the police or the COM
missioners had something to do with
it, or that the excise board gave tho
order which killed the growler at mid
night New Years eve.
But such Is not the truth. In tho
best legal circles where growlerology
is being studied, it is said that the
excise board merely warned the sa-
loon men that they don't like the
GROWER business, and while they
really cannot stop it BY law. the
growler, If pushed across the counter
any more, will count against that sa-
loon man when he comes to ask for 4
license again.
