Bishop Fallows’ Saloon.

' The Home saloon of Bishop Fallows.
in Chicago, fools a great many old to-
pers. His idea is to make the placeas
much like afirst class saloon as possible
and basal] in it something as much like
beer as science could concoct without its
being the real thing. The saloon has a
big bar, with a substantial rail, from
which hang half a dozen towels. Back
of the bar is a white coated bartender,
and back of him are big mirrors rind
rows of shelves, covered with black bot-
tles bearing gaudy labels. A row of
lemons and a. bow1 of cracked we help
to make up the illusion. Every day some
thirsty victim wanders in and orders
“beer. ” He gets a glass of foaming
something that cools, may cheer, but
can’t inebriate. The victim usually
gulps it down, then Opens and shuts his
mouth and tries to recall the taste, while
a puzzled look spreads 0. er his face.
Sometimes he asks questions, but usu-

 

ally he walks slowly away, wondering
whether or not his stomach is all right.
