BITING A RUM SELLER
I
SAY,
landlord," said a man
in
the country to a tavern
keeper, "how many drinks can I get for two long bits'?"
"Five," said mine host.
'Well, faJk 'em over. Come up boys and drink!"
.
The liquorizing completed, he pulls out two worn out old
bridle bits, which were long enough in all conscience. It is need–
less to say how savage the landlord looked, when the customer
walked coolly out, amid the shouts of the crowd.
The Power of the Pledge,
i848.

In a tall glass put one good sized drink of Rum,
Bacardi or Jamaica, add one teaspoonful of pow–
dered sugar, three drops of Raspberry Syrup or

erous dash of Nutmeg. Fill the glass nearly full
with finely cracked ice, then add seltzer or spar–
kling water and serve with a straw, placing a
small slice of pineapple or a cherry on top.
