| Text | [from the Louisville columnist] Pete Browning has had a great deal of notoriety lately. A few days ago he put $300 in his pocket and sallied forth to pay old scores at various saloons in the West End. Pete, as the readers of The Sporting Life know, is something of a drinker, at times, and a considerable portion of his money goes for that purpose. He keeps a slate at several places, but he never fails to pay up at the end of the season. He went from one saloon to another, paying as high as $100 at one place. When he had paid the last debt he had just $45 left. He folded this up carefully, put it away in his vest pocket and said he was going to buy a new suit of clothes. Summoning a crowd of friends he then announced, in a most determined manner, that he had quit liquor forever. |
