He said that some yenrs ago when till freight was hauled in wagons, lie hap pened to make a trip of several hun dred mile« with a train of wagons car rying merchandise to remote stations. Nearly every wagon contained one or more barrels of w hisky. “The fit st night out 1 noticed," said he, “great activity around the whisky barrels. The wagons each had a hatchet mid a gimlet. They would knock up a hoop, bore a hole, draw all the whisky they wanted, then put aliout us much fine gravel in the bat re' as they hnd draw n out whisky, drive a plug in the hole and put the hoop back in place. “I lettered afterward that the bar rels were weighed and the whisky tested Isefore it vva» turned over to the freighters, and that when it arrived ut its destination it was again weighed and tested. Tbe gravel supplied the weight end bulk and the quantity re mained the same, and this is why it was used instead of water to supply the of what nad been taken out.” Send Fiv?
