Bismarck on the Temperance Question.

George (reading)—“Prince Bismarck opposes the use of lager beer.” Materfamilias—“There, George, I told you no culchured German Hked it.” George (continuing)—“He says it makes people at once inert and insolent.” Materfamilias—“Exactly what I say.” George (concluding)—“And that good combrandy is infinitely preferable.” Unholy glee of George, and sudden cessation of maternal comments.
