He was one of the leading lights of the Temperance Union. He was also a thirsty soul. He and Hiram repaired to the barn at times where the hay hid a suspicious looking little cask. This little cask got empty and the Judge drove to the railroad station where another one awaited him. It was labeled "Pickles," prophetic of what was to come. The Judge covered it with hay and drove it home. Poor Weary arrived and looked for a soft spot on which to rest his cramped limbs. He found it in the Judge's yard in the form of an unloaded wagon of hay. He also found a little cask labeled "Pickles." He liked pickles. He tapped it and found whiskey. He also liked whiskey. The Judge addressed the Temperance Union and was escorted in triumph to the courthouse. A very soused "shocking example," in the shape of Weary, was hauled before him and after a severe lecture, he demanded of Weary where he got the "vile stuff." A procession was formed as the repentant Weary led them to the spot. Fortunately the denouement is not followed to detail, but it is safe to say that if any important boy asks his parents if he shall continue to take the Judge as his shining example, he will certainly get his ears boxed.
