She Knew a Cocktail.

Lieutenant 8., just arrived from duty in the Philippines, came eastward to New York with his wife, picking up en route their twelve-year-old daughter, who had been left with a friend during their absence. The little one had fallen asleep, and as the train was nearing the Grand Central station her parents fell to discussing the hotel question. “Well, as we shall only remain one night,” said Mrs. 8., “I vote for the Manhattan.” The couple were suddenly electrified by their little girl's sitting up and in drowsy tones inquiring: “Oh, mamma, may I have the cherry?"—Philadelphia Ledger.
