The Stroller's position in the matter IS certainly shared by the poet, Bergh Harcen. who wrote tho follow ing under the heading "On the Water Wagon" in Judges Library: ! once knew each and every drink
 That nestled in the barkeep's lair From deepest green Co brightest pink,
 knew just how Co choose and
 where;
 What mix would set my heart aglow.
 And that not very long ago. ] knew the best place on Broadway,
 Where fizz and cocktail could be
 found;
 ! knew that just across the way
 That mint in tulips did abound, l knew the spot Gambrinus Hall--
 Where beer in rivers used to flow; At every one I'd take a call,
 And that not very long ago. And pining for those joyous days
 close my eyes and think or al the merry minstrel lays
 sang whene'er I'd drink; But now my vocal cords are dry
 No music do they know, And for a harmless fizz l sigh,
 or long, SO very long ago. Oh. why did | resolve Go perch
 Upon the water-wagon seat? It's insecure, and off l lurch
 Whene'er I hear the words. "Iu

 l hate this vichy milk and sop,
 But ! will have you know. l will not from this wagon flop,
 Tho ! long for long ago.
