THE
ORIGINAL
BAR-TENDER.
Whence
comes
the
bartender?
The
modern
brewer
of
the
cup
which
cheers
and
sometimes
inebriates
is
a
thing
of
beauty
and
a
joy
forever
by
natural
in-
heritance.
The
original
bartender
was
the
most
beautiful
boy
ever
born.
Jove
selected
him
from
all
beings
of
his
celestial
realm
to
act
as
his
cupbearer.
Ganymede
took
tp
his
office
kindly,
and from
that
day
his
successors
have
grown
in
num-
bers,
in
power,
in
beauty
and
in
the
potency
of
the
touch
with
which
they
inspire
their
beverages.
THE
LITERATURE
OF
DRINKING.
The
literature
of
drinking
has
yet
to
have
justice
done
it
by
a
master
hand,
but
the
subject
is
well
worthy
of
research.
Whatever
author
assumes
the
task
he
will
find
his
adjectives
exhausted
when
he
comes
to
treat
upon
the
glories
with
which
the
American
bartender
has
surrounded
the
achievements
of
his
art.
Had
the
cocktail,
which
he
alone
can
brew
and
to
which
he
gave
existence,
been
known
to
the
ancients,
Ancaeos
might
have
defied
prophecy,
and
the
world
would
not
to-day
have,
as
an
oft-quoted
saying,
"There's
many
a
slip
'twixt
the
cup
and
the
lip."
The
legend
is
a
familiar
one.
After
Ancaeos
had
succeeded
Typhys
as
the
pilot
of
the
Argonauts,
he
was
told
by
a
slave
that
he
would
never
live
to
taste
the
wine
of
his
vineyards.
When
a
bottle
made
from
his
own
grapes
was
set
before
him,
he
sent
for
the
serf
to
laugh
at
his
prognostication.
The
menial,
however,
made
answer,
"There's
many
a
slip
'twixt
the
cup
and
the
lip."
At
that
moment
a
messenger
rushed
in
and
announced
that
a
wild
boar
was
laying
waste
the
vineyards
of
Ancaeos.
The
latter
thereupon
hastily
set
down
his
cup,
went
out
against
the
boar
and
was
killed
in
the
en-
counter.
If
it
had
been
an
American
cocktail

Ancaeos
