LINES WITH A HINT
Some abstainers begin Frequenting the Inn. One young fellow starts For the sake of the darts. Another one goes To play dominoes, And soon are aware They’re not wanted there, As they always steer clear Of the ale and the beer. Unwelcome to come Ignoring the rum. Dark looks they may face, Or broad hints, in their place. Oh, for a Temperance Club, Instead of the local pub! —John S. Sutherland, Inverness, in “Scottish Women's Temperance News.” —From “Cobbers."
