SO FOND OF HOT WATER
Customers of Local Saloon Suddenly j
Develop Strange Appetite
Hot water was in great demand in
the Board of Trade saloon yesterday.
Several gentlemen drank so much that
it had an intoxicating effect. It
was not because they had been reading
a dissertation on the medicinal virtues
of hot water but because the Jap
porter got mixed on an order given
him by Fred Thomas and mixed
whisky with the water.
In transferring some whisky to a
new receptacle half a gallon was left
over in a tin measure. A minute
later Thomas said to the Jap, “Fill up
the hot water tank.” The mikado’s
subject was still thinking about the
surplus whisky and it weighed so
heavily upon his mind that he thought
the order must involve the hootch.
With prompt decision therefore he
poured the half gallon of whisky into
the hot water tank, and nobody hap
pened to notice what he was doing.
When the discovery was made
Thomas set the tank on a table and
told the boys to go at it. In the even
ing he affirmed that ho never knew
before how many bums are stuck on
hot water as a steady drink. They
lapped up several gallons of that nec
tar as a farmer’s boy drinks apple cider
and in a few hours the tank was ready
to receive plain water again.
Seattle has just opened a new eight
story hotel, the Savoy, with palatial
equipments. Its manager is from the

Inyo county, California, is being
touted as of bewildering extent and
value. _
