Had His Whiskey
Buried With Him
| Recent disposal of the Gabriel
Sales farm at Easton, Maryland,
has recalled the extraordinary
request made by the farm’s orig
inal occupant just before he
died.
Not wishing to be deprived in
the other world of his rum and
tobacco, old Gabriel Sales left
instructions that his coffin be
extra long, and be left open at
each end, while at the head
should be placed a jug of rum,
the very best of spirits, and ten
pounds of smoking and chewing
tobacco.
He explained his idea of hav
ing the coffin open at each end
by saying that should the devil
come after him he could play
hide-and-seek with his infernal j
majesty by slipping in and omj
at will. Whatever his motive, tt j
is said that he was buried as de j
scribed, and there to this day his |
grave may been seen, marked J
by a holly tree at each end. I
Now, in this age of prohibition, j
there are probably mau\ who j
are wondering at the quality cf j
the contents of that jug, it it stii'
be there.

BRISK ‘HARD LIQUORS’ ROW
Germans Using More Whisky, Brandy
and Gin—Draft New
Law.
Berlin.—Consumption of tvinos find
liquors lias been increasing so rapidly
in Germany since the war that the
reichslag has directed the drafting of
a lull to regulate the 1 rathe. The law
also is to check a growing increase in
the number of saloons, in Berlin par
ticularly.
The crime wave which lias been
sweeping the country for many months
is attributed by many to the “drink
craze,” and especially to the more gen
eral use of cheap cognacs, green whis
kies, gin .and other “hard liquors.” The
Germans, in fact- are gradually losing
their old reputation as beer drinkers.
Practically all the cafes and wine
roortis of Berlin are installing “Ameri
can bars,” against which the customer
may lean, with his feet on a brass
rail. There is no charge for a place
at the bar. but to sit at the tables it is
compulsory to drink champagne or
some other wine of similar price. Con
sumption of champagne has out
stripped all previous records the last
twelve months, amounting to more
than 1”,000,000 hol ies.
