I One of these good fellows good fer nothlng will draw his salary on Saturday, Sat-urday, says the New York Press, discussing dis-cussing the treating habit, and run to-the to-the bank with it before he can b tempted, depositing all but barely enough to maintain him through th day. He imagines himself then safe from attack. Honor forbids him ta-drlnk ta-drlnk at the expense of others without returning the favor, and, being denuded denud-ed of change, how can he return it? In this Inevitable way by drinking a few --. rounds with his pals, then, spurred on by evil generosity and false manliness, drawing a check for the proprietor of the bar to cash. The funds thus acquired ac-quired are speedily exhausted, leaving our hero as before. On Monday another check is drawn at another bar, on Tuesday a third at still another bar, and so on through the week. If I had my -way no barkeeper should be permitted per-mitted to cash a check. It is this cashing cash-ing of checks that leads to perdition.
