Rather Weak Whisky.

A saloon-keeper in a certain Texas city was noted for keeping a very thin article of whisky. There was good reason to suspect that he watered his wh'skv. One day there came a fearful •oversow. The river rose twenty feet, and kept on rising. The terrified .saloon-keeper said to one of his customers . “The water is rising every minute. I’m afraid it will ruin the whisky I’ve got in the cellar.” “O, that’s nothing. A few gallons, more or less is not going to hurt the whisky.” “I know that well enough, but suppose the barrels burst when the cellar is full of water.” “If it comes to that you can run a force-pump down the cellar and tap the cellar. The contents will not be much weaker than the stuff you sell now.” Only twe dy-flve cents. Rod Star Cough Cure. Ko opiates or
