Show Archie Stood Her Test. "I know Archie does not drink," confided con-fided Mrs. Pike to her sister; "that is, anything stronger than a beer on a hot day or maybe a hot whisky' when he has a cold. "I made up my mind to test him. I have always said I would never live with a man who drank, so I prepared a test. "I went down street to a liquor store and bought a box containing a bottle of whisky, a bottle of Madreia wine and a bottle of brandy all for one dollar, in the prettiest little box. Then I surprised him with it for Christmas; and I tell you he was surprised sur-prised when he saw It and more so when I confessed that I had only paid one dollar for the bargain. "Archie promised me solemnly that he would never taste the horrid stuff, and, although I have kept it handy in his study ever since, and watched It anxiously every day, he has kept his word. Kept his word! Oh, I am so glad." Puck. |
