| recently introduced on behalf of

A number of men from Montana

Abolish treating and the saloons
would be shorn of three-forths theil
revenue, and their number would be
diminished in the same ratio. It was
upon these facts and principles that
some years ago, a club was formed
IN Brooklyn with the object of max
ing it d~iscreditable for a gentleman
TO give or accept a treat. But it ac-
complished nothing and was short
llVed. The custom, expensive, absurd
and mischievous as it is, has taken too
strong a hold to be easily uprooted,
and will probably last as one az the
saloons.
