Thought? by a Philosopher About the ^
Man Who Swears Off?Ha? 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. ^
