'■’He ;was arguing once on prohibition. He described a trip he ia&d once made jin the prohibition _State of North “He'told' how lie rode through; D'egroat, Maza, Benzoin, lola, and other towns in the Devil’s Lake neighbourhood, putting up for the week end at Minnewaukan.,

“As Remington was buying-a cigar at the Minnewaukan drug store Saturday night a cowboy entered. He wore a red shirt and. .bearskin leggings, and he carried to two-gallon demijohn. “‘jack,’ he said to.the drug clerk, with a louxi laugh, as he swung the enorhiOus demijohn onto the counter —‘Jack, fill,kW, up. Baby’s sick.’”— Philadelphia Record.
