Here’s the experience that one man had: “I had twelve bottles of whiskey in rpy cellar ,4nd my wife made me empty the contents of each and every bottle clown the sink. So I did as my wife desired, withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the con tents down the sink, with the excep tion cf one glass which I drank. I then withdrew the cork from the sec ond bottle and did likewise, with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I then extracted the cork from the bottle, emptied the good old booze down the bottle except the glass, which I devoured. I pulled the cork from the fourth sink and poured! the bottle down the glass wh6n I drank some. I pulled the bottle from the cork from the next \nd' (frank'one sink of it, then threw the rest down myself. I pulled the sink out of the next cork and poured the bottle down my throat. ill-pulled-the.next bottle out of my throat and poured the cork down .the sink, all but the sink, Which I drank I pulled the next cork out of my throat and poured! the sink down the bottle and drank the cork. “Well, I had them all emptied, and I steadied the house with one hand arjd counted the bottles with" the other, which were twenty-four. I also counted them again when they came around and I had seventy-four. As the house came around I counted them again. Finally, I had all, the houses and bottles counted and I proceeded to wash the houses but I couldn’t get the bottles into the brushes, so I turned the bottles inside out and washed and wiped them and 8rent upstairs and told my other half all about what^ had dofie, and O’Boy, I’ve got the nicest little wife in the world.” * \ Card of Thanks.
