A Sad Case.

“Yes,” said Jowles to Bowles, “Yellowby has been drinking hard for many years, and has at last reached a deplorable condition.” “Indeed!” said 1 owles, “has he got delirium tremens?” “Oh, no. He is never sober enough for that. He keeps just full enough all the time to avoid delirium tremens, and yet does not get drunk. He hasn’t tasted water for twenty years, and that is where the trouble is. ” “What trouble?” “Why, you see, he is afraid to look at anything he likes.” “Why so?” “For fear his mouth might water for it.” “What if it did?” “Why, don’t you see, if his mouth watered it would kill him!”— Boston Courier.
