BOOTLEGGERS

Al LTHE|R OWN
Bad Boys Are Police, Gavin
Is Little Boy Uncle
Serves Drinks.

A new vocabulary has been in
vented in Washington. and i:
rapidly assuming the cryptic aspects
Of a code. 1t is used among those
who prefer the ways OF Bacchus tc
those OF Nolstead.
The ring of prohibition enforce
ment. which is being tightened IN
Washington under the direction OF
Director G. J. SimOns and Local
Agent Fred T. Rose, is making the
new speech a real necessity to those
who believe neither in Santa Claus
nor the eighteenth amendment.
Thus the following apparently
harmless conversation becomes
bargain for Gavin
Well, I'm George.
Are you Uncle Henry" asks a
prospective customer.
I'm Uncle Henry" replies the
dealer. extending his hand
I'm George" the other says,
and to assure himself that Uncle
has some stock on hand, asks,
"How's your little boy
The little boy" Of course, is
GAVIN" II the customer wants
beer. he expresses solicitude for
the little girl"
He's ahead of his class" An.
swers Uncle Henry, il things are
going right. II the contrary is
the fact, he shakes his head dole
fully and say, Not so good
How far can he count?" inquiries
the customer, II he doesn't know tie
market price.
Uncle Henry names figure-the
price per quart.
"I'd like to see him" George ven
lures, II the figure suits him.
What timer" the bootlegger in
quires.
Well, George may want half pint
or a pint or a quart-maybe more
After swift mental calculation he
names a time"
You can see him." Uncle Henry
agrees. and names a meeting place
Naturally there is variance fror
this rule, and a large number Ot
additional phrase and word.symbol:
have been coined by the willy vets
Mister Green" is a prohibition
agent.
THE bad boys" are the police.
Kitchen" Is Still.
A harmless reference to unCle'i
Kitchen" is really an allusion to his
still. Baltimore and other nearby
cities have other names in the moon
shining lexicon. Highly uncompli
mpntary words have been coined fUl
those of the fraternity who brcat
faith and for persons who are known
to furnish the authorities with an
formation concerning moonshininS
activities.
This Is the latest vocabulary oi
the stillmen and is somewhat ex
elusive yet. From the lips of boot
lcgEcrs have passed forever, ap
parently, the vciled import OF

Washington police force the time
Of its life when Washington closed

Did His Drinking In

Avoid Wagon

To avoid all the inconveni-
ence of being placed into a
wagon ard sent to the police
station when intoxicated James
Fields, colored, has conceived a
simpler method.
Take your booze to the pre-

the aforementioned inconveni-
ences are disposed of. Fields
was found drunk in the Sixth
precinct station, where he was
arrested. This morning Judge
Hardison fined him $40.

LIFE, AS 4
GAME OF CARDS.
Lite l. like n game Of cards.
which each one has to learn;
Each shuffles, cuts and deals pack.
And each q trump does turn.
Some turn a high card at the top,
While others turn q low;
Some hold n hand quite flushed with
trumps,
While others none can show.
When hearts are. trumps we play for
love,
And pleasure decks the hour;
No thought OF danger ever comes.
IN roses lovely bower.
when diamonds chance to turn the
pack,
'Tis then men play for gold.
And heavy sums are won and lost
BY gamblers young and old.
When clubs are trumps beware Of war.
On ocean and on land;
For fearful things have come TO pass.
When clubs were In the hand.
But last OF all Il when the spade II
turned by the hand OF time.
And finishes up the game In every land
and cline:
No matter how much q man may make
or how much man may save.
You'll find the spade turns up at last
to dig each players grave.
