The old maxim, "It’s a long lane
'hat has no turning, or the latter
version, It's an indifferent saloon
that has no side entrame”was shown '
in tiie truest sense of the word last

from the lobby of the hotel, he wn
met at the floor by the proprietor.
Mr. Harney M. Cohen, who told him
to vamoose, that lie didn't think lie

the saloon through the rear door
through the barber shop, walked
down Stuart street to the main en
trance ami made n second attempt
to secure jhe happy water,hut Harney
played the part of Johnny of the
spot, and told him a second time
that he couldn't drink there. He
went hack tip Htuarf street to the
side entrance and tried his lurk the
third time at the corner en
trance. with the same result,
lie looked at Cohen n minute and
said, ‘all right pardner, I'll go; hut
would you mind telling me if you
