Hard Time for a While. Sometimes when a feller who kin h drink or leave It alone gits t' lookin' v back o'er th* year jest closin' an' sums r up all th' things he's done or undone, j all th' energy an' money he's wasted ^ an' all th' things he's missed or neg- . lected in that regretted time, th' past looms up like a piece o' tar soap. Then he quietly resolves t' bid good-by t' th' social cup an New Year's day, little dreamin' o' th' colossal struggle h jest around th' comer. I Th' feller who has long been used t' o fortifyin' himself with a stimulant on (. aver' occasion ha? purty tough sleddin' & for a while after he swears off. Ther's ^ th' ordeal o buyln' a new hat or attendin' a hi nquet. Th' feller who kin drink or leave It alone alius smells ^ like a Deer Creek distillery after he buys a new hat, an' he'll often train 1 a fer weeks when ther's a banquet v ahead. Sometimes he'll set clean r thro' a banquet, or at least till th' 1 last syllable of an address on "Th* ( Weddin' o' th' Oceans" has died away s in th' cigarette smoke. a But how a feller's whole style o* j pltchin' changes when he once gits . thoroughly established on th' water , wagon an' begins t' talk natural fer > th' first time sines th' first baby come! How his patient wife misses his glowin' account o' th' day's earnin's when he used t' stall thro' th' evenin' I meal! How his associates miss his I decided views on ever' question that I' comes up! How th' one-legged news- ' boy on th' corner misses hi3 tavish [ generosity! How he kicks on th' grocery bill! How his waistcoat pockets bulge with segars, each one rfpre- ? sentin' a 15-cent drink that he's muffed * hile in th' hands o' friends, an' how his little children miss th' peppermint drops that used t' fall from his overc ii ;.s he flung it carelessly across jj tn' piannor. ^ Lr.Ie Fud says that gitcin' cn an off th' water wagon is th' only exercise s me fellers ever git.?Abe Martin, iu ; American Magazine.
