was, how to get the critter. His jug was
empty, his pockets ditto, and the tavern keep

spied his wife's pocket bible, which he slyly
slipt into his own pocket, and off he went to
the tavern. After coaxing the landlord for
drink in vain, he produced the bible and offer
ed it in security-but it was no go. That's

leaving the bible, promising to go TO work
and pay him out of the first money he got.
The publican was inexorable.


Well said he, swhen you won't take
either my word or the Word of God for a
drink, it's high time for me to quit


He carried the Bible home, and signed the
pledge, and has drank none SINCE Temper
