Two Views of Whiskey.
Col. Robert Ingersoll was not a
hard drinker, but he lilced the warming
influence of some good whiskey
when he could get it. He was making
a lecture tour through the State of
Kentucky one time, and while down
there he found a whole barrel of real
ripe old whiskey that just suited his
taste, and he had it shipped home to
If. himself; and when he got home he
"Bob, this is too much whiskey
for any one man to have, so send some
^ of it to some of your friends." So
H Bob sat down and made a list of
gSjb friends to whom he might send some
of his choice whiskey. Among the
SB list was Dr. Buckley, a Methodist minist-pr.
an old school friend; Bob
thought he might like some of that
good whiskey, so he sent Dr. Buckley
V a gallon jug and wrote a letter.
My Dear Buckley,
W I send you some of the moot wonr
derful whiskey that ever drove a
* skeleton from a feast or painted landscapes
in the brain of man.
It is the mingled souls of wheat and
corn.
In it you will find the sunshine and
the shadow that chased each other
over billowy fields. The breath of
^une. the wealth of summer and autumn's
rich content nil golden with
imprisoned light.
Drink it and you shall hear the voices
of men and maidens singing, "The
Harvest Home," mingled with the
laughter of children. Drink it deep
and you will feel within your veins
the beautiful starred downs, the
dreamy, tawny dusks of perfect days.
For 40 years this liquid has been
confined in staves of oak. longing to
kiss the lips of man. Your friend,
Robert G. Ingercoll.
Dr. Buckley got his jug of whiskey.
if nvnr nml without PVen re
moving the cork to see what a beautiful
bunch of joy he had, shipped it
back with the following letter:
My Dear Bob:

beautiful whiskey that ever brought a |
skeleton into the closet or painted |
scenes or lust and bloodshed in the
brain of man.
It is the ghosts of wheat and corn
; crazed by the loss of their natural
bodies
In it you will find a transient sunshine
chased by a shadow as cold as
an Artie midnight, in which the breath
of June becomes chilled and the carol
of the lark gives place to the forboding
cry of the raven.
Drink it and you shall have woe,
sorrow, babbling, wounds without
cause. Your eyes shall behold
strange women and your heart shall ,
utter perverse thoughts.
Drink it deep, and you shall hear
the voices of demons shrieking, worn- ?
en wailing and worse than orphaned ,
children mourning the loss of a father i
who still lives. Drink it deep and v
long serpents will hiss in your ears, (
coil themselves about your neck and t
seize you with their fangs. t
At last it " biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder." t
For 40 years this liquid death has '
been confined in staves of oak, harm- *
Tfcss there as purest water. I return
it to you that you may put in your
| mouth that which will steal away
your brain and yet I call myself your
friend.

Four calves in one year in the record

a prominent breeder of thoroughbred
cattle in Greenwood county. The
cow. an imported Scotch Shorthorn,
lecently gave birth to triplets, which
later died. The other calf, born less
