IT COMES HIGH AT THE CAPITAL

A Seymour man is telling a little experience, personal experience, that illustrates the east which 'booze may be procured in Indianapolis.. He was stopping at one of the leading hotels of the capital city. Going up to one of the negro porters one evening, he flslcft'd * ‘<Can you tell a man where he can get some whiskey around here, George?” “Well, I spects maybe I could,” repliedthe head. • “How much will half a pint set me back?” “I tell you boss if you wants to know. If you want to go way out to Irvington, I knows a place where you can git it for $2. If you don’t want to walk much further than the state house, I know a place where you can git it for $2.50. But if you’ll want a half pint right where yon’s standing, it’s goin’ to set you back just three bucks.”
