Once in a while took a snooker
Juniata sentinel and Republican, (Mifflintown, Juniata County), August 18, 1880
Well, that’s what my Old Hickory friends did; they sang mum on Hancock. I think they’re awful sick of him. But if they said nothing about Hancock, they went ii on whisky, that is, they talked about whisky. Old Andy, you know, once in a while took a snooker, but he had no patience with the fellow that would get drunk. He said that the man who gets drunk is a fool.
