Badly Wanted.

Friends Of Billy Sunday, the re-
vivalist, tell story illustrative of his
repartee.
Mr.. Sunday was on the Trenton
train one day when man near him
began to drink out of bottle. Noisy
at first, the man after three or four
drinks became quite unbearable. The
revivalist launched at him an eloquent
sermon on intemperance.
At the sermons end the drinker
looked at Mr.. Sunday steadily and
said:

In the nose"
