George Perrine, caretaker of the Prohibition Department's llqgor storeroom here is anxious for such a cat to replace lais assistant Ernestt, reeent)y~ileceased. » Einest, let it be said, was as industrious, as sober a tiger cat as you cculd find in alll the country round when lie went to work for Mr. Perrine some six months back. But it was a sudden, asthmatic, bleary-eyed Ernest at the end. "Ernest was all right until he started drinking," Perrine explained "But wine, woman and song, they've ruined far better than he. First it was only the best liquor Then it was ju»L liquor. And final y. he went even to dope. Tre First Drink

“Dropping a confiscated bottle of our choicest old whiskey on the cellar floor started Ernest on the downward path. He had been working hard for three months, and especially so for the two nights before when a now family of rats moved in. “Hat, tired and thirsty, he took one little lap of the liquid.—Then another, and another unt'l finally he lick ed -the whole mess up. Next morning he lined up 27 rats for us. "That's the way things start though. Just a wee tiny drop when you’re tired then pretty soon you’re always tiredu Next Saturday night, unable to stand the monotony of no company, Ernest accidentally brushed a bottle from the shelf and started, another jag. “Then Ernest got to knocking bottles down ej’ery day. At first it was only bonded liq tor, the mre-war stuff. But a little later he gt'ew careless and knocked down anything that came handy. Finally Took to Dope “Two or three times a week then we would miss Ernest. He began to participate in serenades with a noisy gang near the riven Once, he came in with a badly gashed forehead as though it had been accidentlly struck by a flying shoe. With that came neglect to his duties. “Last week, Joe Dederich set a watch over his storeioom in the narcotic division. Every morning or so Joe found (little packages of dope strangely open. When no amount of outside guarding stopped the leakage. Joe sat up all night and spotted our Enmst sneaking in and sniffing around. We found Ernest just had to have a snifter every day. .
