I réducèd the matter to figures and found that to each man is aüotted one barrel of whiskey; and by close barrel and a half. In other words, I bad drank my own and half of sonie other mari's barrel. I am too honest to rob anybody, espeoially of the wliiskey we get nowadays, and thereforc havo quit drinking whiskej' entirely."
