The Huron Expositor, 1884-06-13, Page 22 LIQUOR OR COFFEE— WHICH PAYS BEST P BY M.4RGAR°ET VA) DZGBIFT. All Mr. Finnigan's numerous friends called to congratulate hi -la when he had effected the purchase of the Harmony Saloon, and removed from the small corner grocery which had been the corner -stone of his fortune into the palatial briek building, with pillars on either side of thedoor, and stained-glass windows, where he proposed henceforth - to dispense to his customers " pure liquors only 1" The two conspicuous red -lettered signs which shone in the plate -glass window— A FRIICD OYSTER WITH EVERY DRINK FREE LUNCH FROM 10 TO 12 To -DAY! —may have had something to do with the suddenly increased number of Mr. Finnigan's friends, but the congratula- tions were none the less sincere. " Sure, old woman, its fast we're going up the ladder, and we but six years in this biissid free country 1" said the proprietor to his faithful wife as he for the first time lit the gorgeous central chandelier and side brackets, which, like the false beacon -fires of the wreck- ers of old times, were to lure so many victims to their destruction. Whin we began wid the career -stall, and the cakes and oranges, and the stone bottles of spruce beer and mead, it's little we dreamed of this same 1" and he looked proudly around the cheerful room, with its glowing stove, gaudily painted waits, and profusion of gilt remolding. Bat there was no `responsive light on Mrs. Finnigan's face as she replied "Ida all very well for uz, Jimmy, but, do what ' I will, I cau't rid myself of them: two faces—the woman's and the bit of a girl's—that looked in at the door to see was John Ryan within, the last night the tittle shop was open ; and it's not with my good will we made the change. We'd a nate little grocery . business, and we'd a' made it nater, wid a place like this in a good neighborhood, and our sowls: would—" " Thin I've heard quite enough of our sowls of late," interrupted Mr. Finnigan, angrily ; " and it's_tryi_ng my sowl you are wid your sinceless prating. How often must I tell you that I've promised the prasste to keep none but good, decent liquors; and never to sell to man or boy that's had enough; let alone too much.? - So now you may go up to the foine room I've furnishedfor your own oomfort— emall thanks to me and when I see your face again, I hope it won't blacken the air about it as it's_doing now." Mrs. Finnigan was wise enough to go to the " foine room " without, further parley admitting to herself aa she went that it was not in nature for Jimmy to be suddenly put in possession of those rows of shining bottleswithout thrying " the contents of two or three. The new business prospered beyond Mr. Finnigan's wildest hopes. He had wisely chosen a stand at the junction of two streets which were chiefly occupied by day -laborers, and those who were not caught as they went to workin the morning—and often those who were, as wells -were pretty sure to fall into the net as they came home at night. Thefried oyster -with every drink, and free lunch from ten to twelve, had been found so profitable the first day that the sign wasdnever removed. The fried oyster, under Mr. Finnigau's careful supervision, was always plentifully salt- ed, and the free lunch consisted goner- ally of dry crackers and pungent cheese, varied once or twice a week by a red. herring or a small plate of highly sea- soned stew for each guest. Mrs. Finni- gan having ence or twice ventured to omit the red pepper from the latter dish, on the plea that it compelled her to " snaze the head off her intirely," was no longer entrusted with the sea- sonin,g her husband, who, in his own peculiar fashion, still loved her, pre- ferred attending to this branch :. of the business himself to engaging in a daily altercation with her. ` Before the opening of the Harmony Saloon the neighborhood had been a remarkably quiet and peaceful one .; but now street fights, domestic quarrels, and noisy mirth began to attract the attention of thepolice to that particular part of the town. Mr. Finnigan found it rather difficult to. adhere to his resolu- tion not to sell liquor to any one who was "full." Several times he yielded through absolute fear of the drunken threats hurled at him, and several more times he professed to have been deceiv- ed by the entirely sober Manner of his -customer. Some of • the more decent people in the neighborhood made vigor- ous efforts for the indictment of the Harmony Saloon as a. nuisance,: but they had neither money nor influence ; itwas near the time of an important city election, and offence wonid have ben given, not only to Mr, Finnigan, but to a large number of voters who were members of his profession ; so nothing was doi'e, even when, after a side door to the saloon had been nn - ostentatiously cut, it was- more than rumored that a quiet . drink on. Sunday morning was among the attractions of the Harmony Saloon. One woman, confident that she had a clear case, went to enter a complaint, when the following dialogue ensued Yon say that Mr. James Finnigan sells liquor on Sunday ; can you prove it?" " That can I, foine ! I stud at the open door, the side door it was, and I saw Pat McGinnis standin' forninst the bar—he's me own sister's son, and I'd know him from a dozen Iike him—and I saw Jimmy Finnigan, bad 'cess till him 1. lift down the brandy, bottle from. the shelf, and pour the length of me longist finger in a glass, and I saw Pat raise it till his mouth, and empty it at the -one swallow, and he telling his mother—that's me own sister, you'll understand, and a widdv in the bargain —that he hadn't a c re in his pocket but the night before, and her husband dead, and the childer frettin' wid the hunger and cold !" .E Will Patrick McGinnis swear that what you saw him drink was brandy ?" Dade, thin, he won't, if you'd bate him black and blue—the more fool he." " And are you:. prepared to swear that, to your own personal knowledge, what you saw Pat McGinnis drinking was. brandy V' " Me personal knowledge, is it ? swear to all I've jilt said, twice over, and what more wud anybody want?" He can't be convicted on that ; for all you know it might have been cold tea or cold coffee. You'll have to bring proof to sustain your charge before it's worth anything." " Thin I'm to understand," with a scornful toss of her head,"that all that's left me to do is to wal drink of a and y come here an4 ow ar decent woman, n, ith me own? And tha wish you acod o she muttered as s e a away ; " sure, if t ey this eounthryj, it's bee worth minti nin to that's the law,I,11 be 'knows but ane own next to go, for as stteead For many months fruit -stand imine iat Harmony.
