Last Wednesday while Hon. Strunsky was elsewhere talking about it Hon. G. W. McCann, prominent drunkerd, come-me sneekretly with Standard Oil expression and request 1 free drink as a loving gift.
“Why you deserve such free gift?” is question for me.
“I are a large tank-line & therefore entitled to occasional rebates,” he betray.
So I give him considerable goblet of and interview him for temperance movement.
“Why do men drink alcohol?” are first question I make.
“Because they can not eat it,” are relapse for him.
“Do whisky-booz do harmful injry to interior when took in excess?” I repent.
“Suppose so,” smack he, “59 successive tumblers are sufficient for a strong man.”
“Are a moderate drunk good for persons?” next come out.
“O sure of!” he negotiate, “I can feel it doing so.”
