"Ten Nights in a Bar room," we would preface our remarks bya quotation to emphasize our pos ition upon the great issues of the day:
 Did yez ivver hear tell of Pat
 Duffy?
 Of Pat Dufy's gran oenin'
 mite?
 Shure Pat Duffy sold terrible
 Ticker
 That would knock ye as high as
 a kite.''
 Passing up the great Bill Will
 Hams promenade, ye editters
 attention was drawn by vast
 throngs, congregated in front
 of a popular soft drink thirst
 emporium. Such familiar by-.
 gone day expressions as s'bring
 us in two dollars worth 'Eput
 a little more salt in mine" &c
 caused the writer to hesitate,
 stop and ponder. His trained |
 eye was quick to discover the
 cause of the great commotion.
 Running down from the roof he |
 discerned seV-er-i-al and divers i
 tubes. No doubt they were a
 part and marcel of some moon
 shine distillery. A man, great
 ly resembling Kentucky ! moonshiner, according to fable,
 was observed carrying through various channels, these myster-
 ious tubes-first between the roof and ceiling, thence down through hollow posts on the outside of the building (evident- lv for the purpose of the inser- ton of the ever needful straw, that goes with these liouidation parlors.) From excited con- versations and whispered asides, it was difficult to gather whether it was a mass meeting, called to raise the S15.0OO' ran- som for the captured American aviators; an organization for the deportation of undesirable wobblies; prohibition rally, or vote of confidence in MT. Wilson and his League of Car rie Nations.
 Peering behind the screens. dispensers of prehistoric bev- erages such as Hennesy, Old Taylor and pink lemmingades might be discovered adorning their respective booths. Their faces were strangely familiar. and one woud almost take 'em . for Charlie Wade, Frank Adams. Nels Fousha and Sen or Williams. Hundreds, aye thousands of thirsty patrons rested their weary elbows on the mahogany, and their tootsy, wootsies on the handsome brass foot rail. Another MT. Will Hams, not associated with this : progressive aggregation of fun- ( ny water suspects. was discov- cred occupying lookout chair. ( greedily grabbing gobs of gold and nlckelS, and otherwise as- sisting the overworked attend I ants. They evidently had tester. such an one as the gov ernment employees to mass iudg. | ment on the pure food qualities of tea-for calls were made for s someone they called the judge and then the disillusionment. for the edytter overheard some T one call Jim Hudson to adjust a \ fuse plug, and of course Jim Q has nothing in common with 8 moonshiners. Then man was heard to remark "I have one that didn't go off, do you want it back?" Children screamed, Misses giggled, ladies just laf- r fed like that and the men said t .aw fudge" And the cause of a all this tremendous excitement; e his great uprising inthe capital d of the Western precincts of Co.,. = conino County, what was it? Oh nawthin' much. Only that . his enterprising firm had in E stalled several hundred dollar popcorn and peanut electrical K equipment-and say boys it's worth looking at. And all these tubes, twisted here curving there, they were not of the cop per still order, bless you no. ,hey are known as loom and A were to protect incautious cit lzens who had eaten too much
