Show H War In Missouri AT A breakfast givt-i Presldrnt Taft in St. Louis, Bronx cocktails were served. Then a H clergyman took the matter up and denounc- H ed the serving of cocktails with whisky in them H at breakfast. Other clergymen took the matter up fr and with great energy pictured the downward read which Missouri was taking. ffltf Then it transpired that there is no more H whisky in a Bronx cocktail than there is in an oyster cocktail, whereupon the other Missouri sentiment sen-timent asserted itself and insisted that to servo a cocktail that had no whisky in it to a distinguished dis-tinguished guest, was a shame and disgrace and a grievous wound upon the immemorial hospitality hospital-ity of Missouri. And there you are. One side is chagrined, the other Indignant and humiliated and neighbor looks askance at neighbor. And their last estate seems worse than the first. |
