HE DIDN’T GET A CHANCE.
The Danhury News says :—“ There were three of them—a man and two women. They saw the sign of ‘Arctic soda-water’ swinging in the breeze, and they went in, and the man said they’d take about three drinks. ‘ What syrup ?’ asked the confectioner. The man’s wife, who was one of the two women, turned her husband around so tha,t his back was to the fountain, and then said, ‘ Now, William, if you want lemon and vanilla, or vanilla and cream, speak right up, for you won’t have a chance to shy vanilla and cream and wink for him to put in whiskey. ’ The husband’s countenance fell, but he had to quietly submit. He has been wondering ever since how his wife could have dropped on the practice.”
