The Longest Day.

A retired colonel had been advised by his doctor that he he did not give up whisky it would shorten his life. “Think so?” asked the colonel.

“I am sure of it, colonel. If you will stop drinking I am sure it will pro-, long your days.” “Come to think of it, I believe yon are right about that, doctor,” said the colonel. “I went 24 hours without a drink six months ago, and I never put in such a long day in my life.” —Tit> Bits.
