AN UPLIFTER RULED BY ENVY.
The uplifter saw the men between heats drinking beer out of tin pails.
"Why do those big fine fellows drink beer," he asked me, "when they have plenty of water ?" I asked him: "Why don't you drink beer ?" "It makes me bilious," he replied.

"If I drink one glass of beer every day for a week it upsets me and I get weak and dizzy." "Do you think that one drink of beer a day will upset those fellows and make them dizzy ?" "Evidently not." "Then when you oppose beer you are doing it to keep yourself from getting sick, aren't you?
Do you really care a darn whether those fellows get sick at the stomach or not ?" "Certainly, I--" "You don't want them to get sick at the stomach ?" "Then, why did you give that lecture on corned beef and make those strong fellows all sick at the stomach while you enjoyed your own dinner ?" "I didn't know it would disturb them so.

Besides I wanted to keep them from getting sick later." "Well, they prefer to have their health now, and wait for their sickness until later on.

You are doing no man a favor by making him sick when he is feeling well.
