A well-dressed stranger walked into one of the saloons at Woodstock the other day, leading a little boy by the hand, and called for a drink of whisky. The little fellow burst into tears, and begged his father not to drink, and the saloon keeper, to his credit be it said, refused him, whereupon the man jumped behind the bar, and seized a bottle of the article in question. The barkeeper attempted to take the bottle from him, during which the liquor was spilled and the stranger ejected. A man of family, who was present, was so struck by the conduct of the boy that he left the saloon, and made an oath that he would never drink another drop! What a scene for an artist’s pencil! A wonderful battle in which a little boy conquers the barkeeper and the man of family present, but cannot prevail over his own beloved but besotted father!
