thing has been practiced more or
less for some time and the dane

blame the preachers or anybody
else for denomcing even an inno-
cent pastime when it degenerates

THE GINGER JAG.

The Emporia Gazette tells Of a

paper office after being ON a jag
and asked that his name be kept
ont of the paper He said he eX-
pected to get a job with the San

employed if his name appeared
in the Gazette. AS it was his first
offense the kind-hearted editor
yielded TO his entreaty but could
not resist the temptation to hand
him some wholesome advice. Here
is what the editor, William Allen
White, wrote:
You are a damned fool Mr..

here to eternity And any man
who deliberately sets out to get
drunk where there is nothing but
Jamaica ginger and lemon extract
to cheer him is a fool. There
might have been some sense in
the head of the man who. under
the stimulus Of social encourage
ment, gang Of other cheerful
idiots, and a larruping good
brand Of booze in a gay and fes-
tive livery stable or other bac-
chanalian retreat. filled his sys-
