 Thus you see, the average drink of whiskey is really milder than the average drink of beer, which is not particularly import ant in itself. for it is not the minute differences in the strength of a beverage, but the greatest degree of wholesomeness that should influence the consumer"
 You have proved your first contention that drink of whis- key is milder than a drink of the others which I acknowledge is a surprise to me. But do you really think whiskey is the most whole some, also?"
 ''No," said the Big Fellow. T don't think sol know sol,

 'T will. Wine Is a wholesome stimulant, yet wine is liable to sour on the stomach. Beer is also wholesome stimulant, yet, according to the authority of brewery advertisements them selves, beer is constantly subject, even though carefully handled and dramatically sealed, to the deterioration that causes bilious ness to many systems. Whiskey, on the other hand, is not only germless itself and germ proof, but is the active aid in destroy ing germs. Whiskey can't turn sour, whiskey can't ferment, whiskey can't germinate. Wine and beer are the result of one or another form of fermentation, which Is Natures lesser method of providing one of her most val uable properties-alcohol; while whiskey is the result of distilla- tion, which is Natures highest and absolutely proof method of doing the same thing. Thus while Nature is liable to play pranks with her fermented alco- holics, she Is ever the stern guar dian of the purity of her distilled product-Whfskey"

then employed as an engineer by the
Katy railroad company, ten years ago,
when the BartlesvilleO Oklahoma City
line was being built through this Sec
tion of the state.
AS Katy engineer, Martin visited
Cleveland frequently. 1t was some
time before the oil excitement in the
state, and a farm in that locality
meant simply an agricultural propO-
sition On one of his trips to Cleve-
land, Martin entered into a contract
with William Lowery to buy the
Lowery farm, adjoining Cleveland. Ev-
erything was completed of the deal
excepting the actual payment of the
money.
1t was at this stage of the game
that Martin became afflicted with
cold feet, and he asked Lowery to
let him crawfish out of the deal. Low
cry finally consented on condition that
Martin buy the drinks for the crowd,
including a number of bystanders.
This he did and was released from the
contract. At a later date the first
we'll in the Cleveland oil field was
brought in on the Lowery farm, and
it has proved to be one of the most
valuable pieces of oil property in the
United States.
