DON'T LIKE TASTE. "I thoroughly believe that not one Whisky drinker In ten likes the taste of whisky," said the communicative bartender. bar-tender. "It's the effect they ar after. The fact that whfeky is not palatable to most men who drink it is shown by the wry face that usually follows the taking of a drink. Then, too, think of those who disguise the taste in -various ways. Whisky and ginger ale is a favorite, and others that have more or leas popularity are whisky and blackberry brandy, whisky and lemon Juice, whisky and sar-saparilla, sar-saparilla, whisky and milk and whisky and calisaya. One of my customers, who tomes in two or three times a day, has for years drunk his whisky with a little cream da menthe in the bottom of the glass, while another takes a little bene-dlctine bene-dlctine with his. A dash of absinthe Is often called for With whisky, and there are lots of men who wouldn't think of taking it without bitters of some kind. There is also a demand for Jamaica ginger gin-ger from whisky drinkers, and the man with a cold invariably calls for a little rock syrup with his. Should you ask any of these men why they didn't drink their liquor straight they would give you various vari-ous reasons; but my own opinion Is that the taste of whisky Is repugnant to them."
