As they did not hâve any kumyss in the place they gave him some milk and seltzer. Tliat’s about the saine thing. One of the boys gave the bartender a wink, and lie put a dash of whiskey in it. The old man did not get on to it at ail. He thought it was tlie seltzer that flavored it. The next round the seltzer was left out altogether and more whiskey put in. They kept on giving it to him until he got pretty well set up. It’s a very insidious and seductive drink. Pretty soon the countryman got funny and tipped his glass over on the table. As it spread around he said : “ ‘ Gosli, it looks like white plusli, don’t it?’ “ ‘ So it does,’ said the boys. ‘ Give tlie gentle­ man another yard of white plusli, here ; ’ and the naine lias stuck to it ever silice.” Kentucky Toddy. Same as old-fasliioned toddy, adding little lemon- peel. Pony Brandy. To serve pony brandy properly, take whiskey glass, set it on counter top downwards, place pony top, place i small lump ice in a whiskey glass. on
