1930 The Saloon in the Home

And so on in beautiful tones. The poor drunkard liked it, "sing again, my little girls!" said he. "We will if you will sign the Temperance Pledge," they answered. "No, no," said he, "we are not at a Temperance Meeting. No, I will not sign now but sing again for me." So again they sang-

"The drink that's in the drunkard's bowl Is not the drink for me!"

"Oh, do sing again," he said, but they were firm this time and declared they would go away if he did not sign. "But how can I write when I have no table'?" he asked. At this, one quiet, modest, pretty little creature came up timidly, with one finger on her lips, and said, "You can write upon your hat while we hold it for you." And so the man signed and from that day a drop of spirits never crossed his lips. From "Iooo Temperance Anecdotes," London, 1868.
