W. C. T. U. Notes
The Treating Habit
Lincoln, the capital city of Nebraska,
is a "dry" town that is, there are no
saloons in Lincoln. This, however, is
a matter of recent occurrence.
A few days ago four printers started
from a newspaper office, headed for the
base ball grounds. Their course took
them by four buildings formerly occu
pied by saloons, which impelled one of
them to jokingly remark:
"I'd ask you in to have something,
but everything is closed."
"O, not all the places are closed,"
said another one. "Come in here with
me and have something."
With this the speaker headed iuto a
clothing store, followed by three cur
ious comrades.
"Give me a lay-down collar, size
sixteen, and give each one of these
fellows the kind of a collar they want."
Each man gave his size and style
and the clerk wrapped the four collars
in separate packages. Each man took
his package and walked out. Not a
word was said for about a block, and
then the man who had first spoken
blurted out:
"Say, wouldn't all of us had a lot of
collars -and ties, and shirts and such
things if we'd had good sense?"
