George Ade Turns Historian and
Bares Mystery of Old-Time Saloon
Amid nil the talk of prohibition and
antl-prohlbltion. saloon and anti-sa
loon, how many ot the persons who
share In the conversation and con
tribute heated remarks thereto ever
saw the inside of a real old fashioned
bonest-to-goodness barroom?
"Mighty few I" opines George Ade.
who. during the bey-day of his
"Fables in Slang' was something ot an
authority on the so-called "gilded em
poriums" of many cities In the No
vember Cosmopolitan Magazine, writ
ing not as s Wet—not as Dry—Just as
a Historian. Ado reviews the old days
of the saloon for tbose of us who never
knew it or whose recollections have
become a bit dim with the passage of
time
“Nine-tenths of all the places in
which intoxicants were dished out,
he says, “affected a splendor which
was palpably spurious
"When you had visited ooe or the
old-fashioned saloons you had seen a
thousand Very often it stood on s
corner, so as to have two street en
trances The entrance was through
swinging doors, which were shuttered.
The windows were masked by grille
work, potted ferns, one-sheet posters
and a fly-specked array of fancy
shaped bottles which were merely
symbols and not merchandise
"Prize lighters were featured in the
interior plctortnl adornments; also
ehromo reproductions of disrobed
sirens reclining on couches Two fa
vorite placards were 'Don't ask for
credit' and 'If drinking interferes with
your buslrens. cut out the business
The colored prints were supposed to
be spicy and wicked Sometimes there
was a pool table, always In a bad state
of repair "
As to the now-much-Iarnented “free
lunches" of those “good old days.”
Ade recalls:
"The usual ensemble was about as
follows:
"A soiled tablecloth.
A stack of rye bread spotted with
esrswsy seed.
A platter of sliced 'baloney' tall ot
pepper.
A Kniliimtl nf anrlnn onions
Do Von Remember-1
Several rectangles of grocery-store
cheese.
A smeary pot of brown mustard.
A bowl of cold baited beans.
Several massed up forks.”

Fold a square piece of paper Into nine parts, and have some one write
the names of eight living persons In outside squares and the name of a dead
person In the center square. Then tear the paper along the creases into nine
parts, as shown In the drawing.
The performer, who is blindfolded, picks up each piece of paper, feeling
the edges with the forefinger and thumb. Those containing names of living
persons will have straight edges on one or two sides, while the one with the
dead person’s name will have ragged edges all around.
