He accordingly goes to a paint store and calls for a pint of shellac. To enable him to carry it conveniently, the clerk pours it into a whiskey flask. Returning home, Mr. Brown finds his wife entertaining some ladies of the Local Temperance Society, who, upon seeing the bottle of shellac, take it for granted that Mr. Brown indulges in intoxicating liquor and leave the house in haughty disdain. A little later, Brown's maid of all work mistakes the bottle of shellac for brandy and puts a liberal quantity of it into a home-made pie, which she serves for dinner. Returning to the kitchen she drinks what is left in the bottle. It takes her but a moment to realize that she has swallowed something other than brandy. Screaming at the top of her voice she dashes frantically into the dining room to warn the family, but too late, as the daughter's favored young man, who has already eaten a goodly portion of the pie now thinks he is poisoned and goes into convulsions. The house is in an uproar until Mr. Brown explains that the bottle contained merely a mixture of alcohol and lac, which is not at all fatal. Suffice it to say the maid immediately takes the pledge.
