The Legitimate Fruit of the Dram Shop

By Gough

SEE the results of this traffic in its true colors, placed so full and fair before you that the very youngest cannot err in their decision. A liquor-seller had a tavern undergoing repairs. One day a boy came running to his mother, crying out, "Mother, mother!" "What is it, my boy?" "Mr. Poole's tavern is finished, mother." "How do you know, my dear?" inquired the mother. "Why, I saw a man come out drunk!" That is the legitimate fruit of the dram shop.—Gough.
