Last summer I got to drinking so j hard in this city, and got so disgusted j with myself, and got so sick, too, that I nade up my mind to get out o! the city and away from my old associates and ] quit it, and I have been away from town I tor the last six mofiths and haven't tasted a drop of drink daring that time." And his face showed that he had not irank any liquor for a long time, for it | as as clear and fair as a babe's. "Now," said I, "look there," pointing ] to three high-licensed saloons within | about fifty-six feet of each other, aijd I near the post office. "They are pretty thick around here, ain't they? Those| fellows are making money, too." "Yes," said he, "and they steal. They | »re a set of thieves. Why,last summer," eaid he, "[ started out one evening with $50 of my hard-earned money in my pocket, and how much do you suppose 1 had of it when I got home that night? fe- I had just a five dollar bill left. Now," said he, "I did not spend that money, 0,. . that is sure. They stole it from me. If jv ,. They either kept back the change due me, r t \ or went through my pockets and robbed tjL ^ me when I was drunk. "No use, either," ft,*' ; - said he, to make any row about it when a fellow is 'full,' for the bar-tender will I ^ i ~ call in a policeman and hand you over to j the authorities (?) for being drunk and 1 d-'" making a disturbance in his saloon.
