Show No Water. At a certain nth rate boarding house a transient entered the dining room late for dinner. He was unsteady on his feet and the boarders realized at once that he had been imbibing freely. His first act, after seating himself, was to pick up his glass of water and throw it out of the window. His neighbor asked : ."What's the matter with the water, wa-ter, my friend?" "I won't drink it." "Why?" "I won't ever drink water again while I live. And you oughtn't to drink it, either." "But, my dear boy, why not?" " 'Why ! Why 1' !ou ask me !" he said, vehemently. "I'll tell you why. Water rots the soles of your shoes. What do you think it does to your stomach ?" |
