Anxious that his meeting should go off quietly, the temperance reformer had hired an ex-prizefighter to keep order. Now he was speaking in glowin words:
"What is it that we all want when we get home tired from work? What do we long for to lighten our burdens, to gladden our heartsk and to bring a smile of true happiness to our lips?"
When he paused for effect, the ex-prizefightrer butted in:
"And the first man who say 'a drink' goes out on his ear!"



Man is always looking for someone to boast to; woman is always looking for a shoulder to put her head on---Henry Louis Mencken
